I'm building a glider sim for use with condor and just in the process of installing potentiometers and wiring to my Leo Bodnar BU0836X.
Im wondering if ive got the Pots working the right way round. Do i physically have to turn the sliding pot 180degree to get the correct movement? or is their a function in the calibaration that allows you to invert the axis, or can i swap a couple of wires over in the BU0836x?

Assuming your potentiometers are connected with 3 wires you can just swap the two "outside" wires to reverse the axis. The idea is to swap the positions of +V and GND.

Yes they have 3 wires so i'll switch the 5v and GND, thats simple. Thanks for the advice

Just reverse it in FS or FSUIPC if it is backwards.

Strangely condor flight sim only allows me to reverse the rudder and trim inputs. Ailerons and elevator I will have to alter the wiring if needed.
