Control Surface display gauge

Hi,

I just uploaded a small gauge to the SOH library (file rcbcs-20.zip , in FSX/Other).

Description:
""
If you have problems with joystick/yoke calibration, or if you like to have the position of your aircraft's main control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder)
visible when flying, this addon gauge might help: it visualizes the control surfaces positions.
The tooltips gives the exact values (in percent).
""
The README also explains a lot of detail on the axis calibration system in FSX; i.e. what the effect is of Sensitivity and Nullzone sliders.
Like:
- Why it's pointless to set the Sensitivity and Nullzone sliders to other then Max. resp. Min for some type of axis (like throttle).
- What the Sensitivity slider actually does (works completely different for axis like Throttle, and axis like Ailerons).

Of course, the best way of having perfectly working controller axis (provided your controller HW isn't really flawed) is to use FSUIPC (registered).
But even then: you still might find the description interresting ...
