    And BTW, could it be that the local File -> Merge doesn't work? This is very useful when you have to load settings like poses and filters created by somebody else but want to keep your own hardware settings (rig+output).

    How is "Merge selected modules" supposed to work? I couldn't select any module and clicking "Merge" in the menu simply does nothing at all.

    Found one minor bug: On the rig->actuator panel I can't enter a maximum position value above 2^31 even when the headings say "0 to 4294967295 in 4 bytes". It always limits the input to "2147483646" which is 2^31-2.

    Sorry for the monologue :D but I'm currently learning a lot... I just discovered the "Basic pose from motion -> Convert to advanced pose" button in the old Mover. Unfortunatelly, this is missing in the new one.

    Well, it's not really necessary, at least not for the advanced user who is already familiar with the filter functions. But it is very useful if you have to start from scratch. And it somehow self-explains how the whole pose and filter concept is meant to work. The best thing is it suggest some reasonable default values for the sources and gains. You can play with the sliders and when you're happy with the results you can press "convert to advanced pose" and add some more advanced functions later.

    As I said, no need to implement that, again. Some example files together with some text to explain why the functions have been selected would also do.

    Me again.:p There is a pose from RPM. Unfortunatelly, I think this only works for cars with reciprocating engines. What if I want to simulate vibrations from a helicopter rotor?

    I don't need that complicated "type of motor" simulation, a simple sine wave for roll acceleration and cosine for pitch acceleration would do. All I need is to scale down the frequency by the gear ratio. So if there was an input filter field for the RPM value I'd be happy.

    A workaround for now would be to use a loop source with a constant frequency which is OK during flight. But you can't simulate the vibrations of the rotor spooling up and down during startup and shutdown which would be really cool.

    Edit: I just found there is an "Engine RPM" and a "Propeller RPM" variable. So if I could select one of both I'd be happy. But is it correct that the "pose from RPM" only produces a square wave and no sinusodial output? It just jumps beween a positive and a negative value. Well I can low-pass filter that...

    Hi!
    Version 3.7.0.15 is much more stable than 3.7.0.15. That's great!
    But some bugs remain:
    - Data isn't saved in the keyboard, joystick, and MIDI modules.
    - An error occurs when exiting Flight Simulator.

    A small error.

    - Create a graph from the pose

    - Rename the default pose name

    - See that the axis names in the graph have changed

    - Save the settings
    - Open the settings
    - See that the axis names have returned, but all the settings have been reset
