Joystick

To access to the Joystick window go to View → JoyStick.

This window provides real time information about the Joystick position in graphical form.

The purpose of this screen is to verify the correct behavior of the Joystick. Check that

movement on the screen is the same than real movement of the sticks on the Futaba

Joystick. In case it is not, change the Futaba settings.

The left half represents throttle in the vertical axis and rudder input in the horizontal axis.

The right half represents elevator input in the vertical axis and aileron input in the

horizontal axis.

This axis assignment Is independent of mode (Mode /Mode II) configuration for the actual

joystick.

AGL information is calculated using the selected Digital Elevation Model

(DEM for short).

Default DEM used in U-See has global coverage but, in exchange, its

accuracy at some points may be lacking. Errors as high as 150 m. can

exist.

Because of this, we advise to take AGL values with a pinch of salt, and

only for broad informational purposes. Never fully trust this values for in-flight planning.

A Safe terrain clearance should be kept at all times.

This warning still applies if high detail DEM is loaded instead of U-See default: DEMs

usually do NOT include obstacles (as buildings and antennas) and terrain may have

changed since the DEM preparation date because of human development.
