    In the flight 2020 plugin in yaw it is 180 degrees but in axis simtool it is only up to 100. I have version 2.5.1 how do I make the plane 180 degrees without changing the direction of the axis

    The range for hardware is normally set with the control board and associated code.

    The SimTool range is a %, not degrees, so at 100 it will have the full range of motion the control hardware and code allows.

    Do you mean you are only getting 100 degrees movement ?

    what type of actuator / potentiometer / control system do you use ?

    THE DOUBT OR THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS SIMTOOL BECAUSE IT ONLY GIVES ME UP TO 100 AXIS AND SHOULD GIVE 180 TO DELAY THE COURSE OF YAW AND THE MOVEMENT IS NOT REVERSED WHEN IT REACHES THE TOP, IN FSM2020 WHICH GIVES 360 DEGREES

    Like Noorbeast said, Axis allocation is by percent, and 100% is the max for a percent input.
    Maybe if you post some screenshots we could help you more.
    Take care,
