Most likely the flaps do function aerodynamically, but a change in JSBSim some months ago made it required to do some work to make the flaps animate. See the aerosurface_scale component just after the flaps component in the c172x.xml file: <aerosurface_scale name="Flap Position Normalizer"> <input>fcs/flap-pos-deg</input> <domain> <min>0</min> <!-- Flaps actual minimum position --> <max>30</max> <!-- Flaps actual maximum position --> </domain> <range> <min>0</min> <!-- Flaps normalized minimum position --> <max>1</max> <!-- Flaps normalized maximum position --> </range> <output>fcs/flap-pos-norm</output> </aerosurface_scale> Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
