The purpose of controls.dat is to define the sensitiviy of the controls, and a few other parameters.
Here is an example file taken from the Antares model:
#----------------------- # Control sensitivities #----------------------- ailerons_step = 0.1 elevator_step = 0.1 elevator_trim_step = 0.01 rudder_step = 0.1 flaps_step = 0.2 airbrakes_step = 0.2 wheelbrakes_step = 0.5 throttle_step = 0.05
This has an effect on the movement when using keyboard controls. It does not affect joystick/rudder controls.
# Here the Antares flap positions and corresponding flap deflections # -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2/L flaps_deflections = [ -3.0 0.0 5.0 10.0 15.0 18.0 ]
If you model a flapped glider, you can set the steps on the flap controller here so that they correspond with the correct flap deflections (in degrees).
#------------------------ # Other control settings #------------------------ wheelbrakes_on_airbrakes = true
If the glider has wheelbrake control on the end of the spoiler/airbrake handle travel, set this parameter. Othervise it can be deleted or set to false.
