Boy, do I enjoy a vigorous debate, especially when I am right. Unfortunately, in this
case, I appears that I did not consider all the needs of the animation system. Neither one
should have to be designed to make up for something the other doesn't do. So I think the
best thing to do, as we've hit on before, is to have the interface do the translation.
That's where the discussion should probably head.
Jon, the problem is: how does the interface know how to normalize the control surface positions? Where does it read the maximum limits from? The FDM is really the only piece that is going to know this information.
I propose that you continue to output normalized values, but in addition, output degrees. Your FCS can choose to work with the degree numbers, and the animators can choose to use which ever number/units are most appropriate and convenient for their purposes.
Regards,
Curt.
