[Flightgear-devel] Braking chutes

2008-10-08 Thread AJ MacLeod
Hi all (aircraft developers in particular), As you might have noticed from the commits list, there was a wrapper function added to controls.nas last night for braking chutes. As things stand, it is practically impossible to asssign braking chute functions to a joystick or other controller
