No, one per gear. You can map them to different properties. For example, map the rear gear to /controls/flight/rudder, but use the src/dst mapping to invert the sense. > The second aspect of the problem is that I can't find a > reference property to use.

The default controls only give you aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, mixture and advance as actual control axes. You can wire up a key mapping or cockpit control to drive any other property you want, of course, or you can modify your personal joystick mappings to redirect an unused axis (the Saitek robo-sticks tend to have a few rotary dials available, for example). Note, by the way, that the STEER input is in radians (1 radian ~= 53 degrees). Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
