How? If pulling the collective up makes the heli go up, then I would expect
the keyboard to behave in the same way: press up/pageup to go up.
(If he meant mouse up, then I might agree)
When you control the collective pitch of a heli flight sim you usually
don't look on

Seriously though, it seems the problem here is that most, but not all, find it
logical to map the up/down behaviour of a collective to the backward/forward
motion of a joystick (or joystick throttle). There is no right or wrong here,
as there

Hello,
Thanks all of you for your help.
First of all, I'll try to focus on OpenGL and running FlightGear. :-)
Later, go deeply into C++ and Linux.
Step by step.
