You need to modify the rotation entries to look at /gear/gears[n]/position-norm. The flap position is also smoothly animated if you use /surface-positions/flap-pos-norm, too. I'm sure David will get all of this tied together soon. Also, I think the right aileron deflection is reversed in the model file. When the stick is held to the right, YASim reports a left aileron deflection of 1.0 and a right deflection of -1.0. But on the model, both of them deflect downward. We need to decide on a convention for which deflection is positive, and whether or not to negate one side. Andy -- Andrew J.

The DC-3 gear do indeed pull up slowly. What are the direction/orientation conventions that cause trouble? This is a good time to fix things, before there are a lot of animation files out there.
