Hi,
Just bought a Wild Hawk from Harbor frieght and UPS just deliverd the ESky Flight Sim package.
My problem now is I can't seem to set up the controller to emulate the 3 channel controller that comes with the WH.
do I put 0's in the config screen for Airlons? and make sure throttle is on the left stick, and rudder and elevator is on right stick?
When I do this Ihave no control on right to left movement. just up and down.
Your help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok to answer my own question as I spent much time now fiddling with the settings.
You do put a "0" (zero) in the rudder channel. And you then put the Airelons on the right stick.
That seems to make it act like the Wildhawks 3-channel controler.
I hope all my research can help others who might not of seen it as clearly as others see it.
Thanks.

If this is the WildHawk FMS model I created, then I mapped the rudder control surface to the aileron channel within the .par file.
Many modelers map the rudder or aileron to the aileron channel for 3 channel airplanes to keep the primary turning control on the right stick.
So whether A/E/T or R/E/T, turning is on the right stick.
The controller is calibrated and assigned in FMS for 4 channel models and the .par file controls the individual model.

The vast majority of U.S. glider modelers flying Elevator/Rudder models rig their R/C systems so the rudder is on the right stick, where the ailerons usually are. Glider guys also tend to place flaps or such on the left stick where the throttle is.
