Hi gérard, Great helicopter. Nice addon to flightgear. By the way: Watching the HUP I got aware, that there is a problem with the animation of the flapping angle of the blades. The problem is the missing documentation of the output of the the rotor simulation in the property tree. If position-deg is 0, then the blade is pointing backwards (and to be honest, I thought it means it points forward :-( ) The animation assumes, that position-deg == 0 means the blade is pointing forward. Therefore the tilting of the rotor seem to be inversed. The rotation needs a 180deg offset. (by adding another 180deg offset to the yasim-xml file (phi0 = "0") the starting position of the rotor would remain the same). The same is necessary at the H-21.
I think I need to improve the documentation in that point...
