May 25, 201115 yr I was wondering if it was possible to assign dual control inputs to a single axis? Specifically, I want to have one input (joystick) drive the left aileron and another to drive the right? This, in effect, is what I would need to simulate control of a paraglider aircraft. Can I asume that FSUIPC will handle this? (It's been ages since I've used that, and for a completely different application).Any help would be appreciated!- Mark
May 25, 201115 yr If you have Acceleration, try looking at the aircraft.cfg of the F-18 Hornet to see how they implemented the elevons which offer what you are looking for in functionality (but not in how they are controlled). Perhaps you can get some ideas from there.Cheers,- jahman.
May 26, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the response, Jahman.Looking at the config for the F18, the ailerons are single axis control as well, so I'm not able to glean much info from it, but perhaps you're on to something all the same. I guess my question is if it's possible to set an independent left / right aileron and have it controlled by a specific joystick axis input? Maybe a question for the airplane creation forum (for the first part)?- Mark
May 26, 201115 yr The elevons are dual axís control (aileron + elevator), just in a different way than you are looking for. If you can see how the ywo axis are combined in the aircraft.cfg, you might also be able to separate them.Cheers,- jahman.
May 27, 201115 yr Author Yep, I see how you can interpret dual axis control, and certainly the aircraft config will determine the flight characterics of a rag-wing, but not how the inputs are split for dual controls. I believe I might be able to split the inputs using FSUIPC, so I think I'll pursue that for now.Regards,Mark
