excellent news; thanks :-) > Some of the joystick configurations are using "squared" axes, which > gives better control near the center of the stick.

Instead use this feature in the > aircraft definition files. The <squared> (or better: <power>) property is supposed to be a joystick specific adjustment *only*. Hence it can't be moved to the FDM config. But it should be possible to turn it off for helicopters. Just add a <nasal> block in the joystick driver file (like the Cyborg-Gold-3d driver has) in which you check for the existence of a /rotors/ property, and if it exists set the <power> to 0 or another value. But IIRC the Cyborg js didn't work well with the bo105 when no <power> value was used. I had tried that after deactivating the centering spring. Need to try it again ... m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
