You could build a software interface to your hardware that could read
the appropriate control
John,
Have you compiled plib with the same compiler as the rest of the code?

You do. Unlike a dead zone, this approach has no location where
moving the joystick will not produce some kind of input.
All the best,

I think it's a different attempt to compensate for the lack of control
loading.

Just out of curiosity I've recently tried to request a few invalid
airports and noticed that lower case IDs crash fgfs. The reason is
the following: runways.cxx:314 searches for the "kemt" airport
(320) and "kemt" is indeed found, despite the lower case letters.
But then the loop (329) compares the

I must admid it, you have made my day.

Very few MSFS AC have 'realistic' flight models. ;) Though AVSIM
reviewers and a bunch of desktop pilots often think they are.
FS2K+ can't use realistic values of Cm_q and Cn_r at Mach 0.7/30,000
ft or higher I've had to increase th

That's harder than you might think: how a plane feels to the pilot
depends as much on control loading as on responsiveness.
