I no longer have the files where I was trying to do it so I just quickly tried binding the aileron control input to the flaps and got a different result to what I was expecting. As I remember it, when I tried to do this before the left (I think) flap would operate as normal through it's +ve range but not through the -ve range i.e. it wouldn't rotate up, and the right flap wouldn't move at all - this was with split=true on the control-input. When I just tried it now, both flaps moved through the full -ve to +ve range, but both moved in the same direction and the split tag seemed to be ignored. I'm confused now:) LeeE _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
