Take the good old steam radio era, like the 70'ies analogue Futaba's, I've got 2, the instructor box powers and reads the student box stick (or encoder) thru the buddy box cord, when holding the "teach" button in, and takes over the sticks. ..on releasing the button, instructor sticks are read at 50Hz, the student sticks either at 50Hz in by the student box encoder, or as resistance from the stick pot meters, I believe this analogue approach was used by the Futaba steamers, and they may have moved on to read pulse trains. ..assuming FG reads the pulse train encoder instead, we're back at 50 Hz, but how quick can FG read steamer vintage Futaba stick potmeters off the buddy box cord? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
