just checked it: mixture: '1' //seems this poti had a good day, today :-), was recognized now by the tutorial propeller-pitch '0.9866634011' //not recognized, the key-trick did it throttle '0.9855189621' //the same as above > Just to have an idea, how "tolerant" the tutorial should be. > (A flight instructor whould say: "mixture full rich is *full* rich, not 95% > full rich...) > > Torsten > > ... and he is absolutely right - speaking about real-life technics. We have the problem that we are using a lot of different controllers with very variable characteristics. And that we cannot "config" these physical properties within FlightGear. I locally "tuned" some of my best-loved FlightGear helicopters and aircraft to make them "feel right" at the controls. That means on one side for instance reduce very big joystick-movements to very small to have good helicopter control and on the other side make an aircraft steerable on ground by increasing the very small pedal movements. This is why a more professional (certified) simulator is adapted to only one or two controller sets. So "0.986" might be a good value for a controller which is many years old and in use every day for some hours.
