How can I interrogate the left-right position of the joystick?  I want to make some gauge code that will record the bank angle when the joystick is centred and maintain it until the joystick is moved a given minimum deflection away from centre, as part of some code for simulating autopilot Control Wheel Steering.

Which parameters do I need, either native C parameters, or XML parameters I can get in C using execute_calculator_code?

Thanks a lot, if anyone can help,

George

You can give this a try if you like.

That could help except that it's in C++ -- what things do I need to change in my C gauge programming to convert it to C++ (other than to change the .c extensions on the files to .cpp)?

In VS2005, its under advanced compile options.

These vars return yoke X/Y values irregardless of autopilot settings etc.. They are the raw input values to FS from the joystick
