sorry guys, I don't know what to belive in anymore :) I'll think about this on weekend, but anyway, wheter to use rudder or not. Take the A320 (on FG) and watch the ball. All I want to know, which property to use for trigger function to keep the ball centered. since you discussed this topic so deeply, I'm sure someone can name me the property... markus _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
