Left and Right Elevator Position

Postby asadzee3 » Tue Mar 30, 2021 9:55 am

Hi,

I have positions of 4 elevator surfaces coming from an autopilot. I want to send these to the flightgear through udp.
The problem i am facing is that i cant find the left and right elevator positions in property tree.
Can anyone explain how can i set the left and right elevator surfaces.

thanks,
asadzee3

If you want the aircraft to respond independently to each surface you need to create the separate surfaces in your FDM.
If you want to visualize the surfaces moving independently then you need to animate them separately in the 3D model. T
As you have discovered stock Flightgear only has one elevator property, but adding more for a specific aircraft is not very difficult. There are many examples of this animation as it is required for any aircraft with a swept tailplane.
