My Ikarus sim the left stick controls the throttle,airolons. The right stick controls the elevators, rudder. My trainer is left stick rudder, throttle and the right stick is elevator, rudder. Which is correct? Thanks
Your plane has rudder control on both sticks with no aileron control? I assume that is a typo and your planes right stick controls elevator/aileron. If so, your sim is set-up with mode 4 (a flip-flopped mode 1) and your plane is mode 2. Mode 4 is very rare in the the US (and probably anywhere). Mode 2 (left - thr/rud, right - elev/ail) is the predominant mode in the US. You definately want both to be the same or you will be inviting disaster.

Mode 1: Left - elevator/rudder Right - throttle/aileron
Mode 2: Left - throttle/rudder Right - elevator/aileron
Mode 3: Left - elevator/aileron Right - throttle/rudder
Mode 4: Left - throttle/aileron Right - elevator/rudder
