That is a very complicate thing. Allways if I think about I run into
confusion.
Is it just a gyroscopic effect?

I've just hit a milestone in eliminating unnecessary output from FlightGear.
I started a flight with the default airport and C172p, took off, climbed
to about 20 ft, landed, stopped, shut down the engine, and quit the program,
all without a single line of output on the console. Here's the be

With mouse control added, and the ability to directly edit the taxiway

I think this proves that Taxidraw is an extremely useful bit of software:

I tested YASim with the J3 Cub and it produced no console output at all.

I just checked in modified versions of Rotor.cpp and RotorPart.cpp,
converting the printf debugging statements to SG_LOG.

For me it's ok, but remember, that you than need pedals (or another
analog controller for this axis) to fly helo.

That sounds wrong to me. The *rotor* should be tilted, but the
airframe is experiencing no net force and should be "ha

The mouse does fine as an analog controller for the rudder -- I use it often

Hi,
I try to explain my confusion:
Lets think the heli is in forward flying and the rotor is spinning
counter clock wise (seen from top, like the bo 105). Relative to air the
rotor blades at the left side are slower and on the right side are
faster. So they produce more force at the right side and
Thank you David. That did the trick.

Hello,
IMO it should be a good idea to replace some of the small screenshots
on the starting page of the flightgear website with some more up to date ones.

bridges in the background and one with the Bo105 helicopter an

I was going to ask if you could do anything about this - not good on the

is flashing.

I will argue that the screen shots should reflect the features of the
current released version

David,
As for the STL headers, use these instead:
#include STL_IOSTREAM
#include STL_IOMANIP
There are actually many files that are not using these variables from
simgear/compiler.h. It looks like the ATC code and JSBSim are handling
this on their own instead of letting Simgear do it (though
