Hi Bill, why not using aileron, elevator and throttle input for your heli fdm? I think there is no need to rename them to *collective.
Which xml file is used for your joystick can be found in the property tree: /input/joysticks/js[n]/source Maik Bill Galbraith schrieb am 25.01.2007 16:30: > I have started working on what might one day be a JSBSim helicopter > model.
