Feature Suggestion: Channel Mapping

[stuartbrown]

Thanks for a great sim.

I would like to suggest a feature. When switching between 3 and 4 channel models, how about automatically switching the rudder control from the left stick to the right stick as appropriate. This would make is easier to switch models and remove the need to have 2 seperate programs in the TX, one for 3 channel and one for 4 channel, or remove the need to adjust the assignment when switching models.

Regards

Stuart

May I remember you that stick selection is connected with transmitter MODE selection, and has nothing to do with FMS.
FMS only knows the channel associated with a function (aileron, elevator, stick, throttle, and associated functions for helis).This association is defined per transmitter brand, and can sometimes be modified by transmitter programming.

And the transmitter mode maps this function on a stick movement.

Here the four modes:

And some function to channel assignments: plane/ heli

Hitec/Futaba:
Ch 1: ailerons/ roll
Ch 2: elevator/ nick
Ch 3: throttle/ pitch
Ch 4: rudder/ yaw

Graupner:
Ch 1: throttle/ pitch
Ch 2: ailerons/ roll
Ch 3: elevator/ nick
Ch 4: rudder/ yaw
