One question though. I mentioned trying to line up with a fuel tanker and how the delayed movement was throwing me off. My guess is that this behavior was due to slow control surface movements. My question is if JSBSim simulates control surface movement speeds (excluding the flaps which

Hinge moments for control surfaces probably have something to do with it, The control system would compensate for that, pushing the aerosurface to give the desired aircraft body rate. Jon ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
