OK, I'll get busy with the SDK. The magazine is called FlightXPress: http://www.flightxpress.de/ and it was Febraury 2006 issue.

Good day Mr. Dowson, I am currently involved in a project in my university of building a Flight Simulator using Microsoft's FSIM 2004. For the aircraft handling we wanted to build a small program which simulated a loop for the automation and aircraft manipulation process. I read some weeks ago in a German Fsim magazine about the response curves included in the registered FSUIPC version. As a new registered user I tried some variations but couldn't quite get the desired results (need full control of the curves in the IN/OUT coordinates). There have been some threads about control response and delay (http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=49968) about Helicopters and stability, but I couldn't apply these to my case. The goal is to build a feedback-controlled loop with e.g. a PID controller, in which I constantly measure the angular velocity, the angle of pitch, the current altitude, the indicated airspeed, and dumper the joystick's signal for a desired aircraft maneuver. How is this measuring possible? Thanks a lot.
