No; I don't want the joystick position, you are right that, that is easy
to
get. It is the horizon as calculated by the simulator program that I want
the
coordinates of. In other words, the pitch and the roll of the airplane.
You
know of course that they don't exactly follow the joystick commands,
depending
on how close you are to stalling, etc.

Has anyone written some sort of program/hack to get position data out
of
MS
flight simulator that could be used to control a cockpit motion device?
It
seems like it wouldn't be too hard to build a two axis positioner if
you
could
get the pitch and roll data out of the sim program.
