Maik OK, so the ones I am looking for is mapped to the ones you mention below? That makes sense in keeping the system generic.
>From what I read in the forums, it seems like the current helicopter model is not very accurate nor very realistic. I am busy developing an autotuning autopilot for a large RC helicopter. For this reason I need to fly the heli, capture the data and then train my controller on the data. FlightGear seemed like the obvious choice, but maybe it is not at the moment. Could you maybe advise me on the best option to follow for now that would result in the least effort to get what I want. It seems like either X-plane or MSFS is the way to go. Please advise if you can. On another point - one of my students is possibly going to do a FG implementation of the RC helicopter model developed by Gavrilets at MIT. If anyone already have part of that model implemented, it would be very helpful.

But the control axes, which are linear to these: /controls/flight/rudder /controls/engines/engine[0]/throttle /controls/flight/elevator /controls/flight/aileron (additional some trim values are also added, but if you don't use them...)
