When I switch off the engine the ball gets pegged to the left regardless of brake state, but I think this instrument (turn coordinator + skid ball) is supposed to run of the vacuum provided from the engine so that is a reasonable behaviour. > Which property drives the inclinometer? Good question. When I try to trace it back through the XML files it seems to use /instrumentation/slip-skid-ball/indicated-slip-skid which I think is set by some C++ module. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the inner workings of FGFS. Hopefully people with more knowledge on the subject will add to the discussion eventually.
