Trust me, I've been all over every line of the viewer code. You aren't really seeing what you think you are. It just looks that way. The only connection between the FDM and what you see on the screen are the properties in the /orientation and /position paths. If you suspect a problem, look at those. In the case you describe the altitude-ft reading (which is at the nose if the nose is the FDM origin) will not change when you pull hard on the stick. > There's another sign that _might_ reveal something about the 'mistake'. > Use the "Chase view wo yaw" and activate the HUD.
