[Flightgear-devel] Properties under /orientations seem to have taken on offsets after extreme attitude

2005-01-10 Thread Ampere K. Hardraade
I was taking the c182 out for some tests last day, and I brought the c182 into some extreme attitudes. Afterward, I notice that the attitude indicator seems to have "jammed"; tilted when the aircraft is in level flight. Upon further testing, I noticed the roll rate of the indicator still corre
