I changed up the flight controls significantly.
- throttle is now controlled by slider 1
- landing gear is now controlled by slider 3. (value of +1 = up, value of -1 = down)
These are the only two sliders you’ll need.
Elevator trim is now controlled by the throttle slider. 40-60 equals no change or your deadzone. >60 pushes the nose down, <40 pushes the nose up. The further from your deadzone, the quicker your trim changes. Think of this as a trim wheel on a real plane. This allows very fine adjustments to the aircraft’s elevator trim.
The purpose for these changes is to move key flight functions to the left hand, while still keeping your right hand on the yoke. Another reason is so that you can set your throttle and not have to worry about that setting changing if you’re using the rudder and unknowingly pushing forward or back on left stick.
Feedback is welcome on these flight control changes, as well as any other improvements you’d like to see.
Also if someone would be so kind as to come up with a VIZZY autopilot program for speed, altitude and heading, I would appreciate it :)

@Lacker you could gut the gauges out of the cockpit and that would decrease the parts count. Also the bombs add significant parts count. I went into some crazy detail on the bomb fins specifically

@Jfranz16 you probably would have to use Vizzy and have 2 different outputs for each input then use Vizzy tor turn the right ones on

@AlphaSpaceTechnologies haha well the B17 never had fly by wire. I literally just want to figure out how to hid my altitude and speed but I don’t understand vzzy enough to make it work 🥲

I cant exactly help with the autopilot program, but i could try to install fly by wire to it

You could make it so you can toggle the flight controls to be normal with WASD/joystick and how you have it now. Overall really nice WW2 replica! @Jfranz16
