he FlyBox consists of three major control groups.
The joystick on the right hand side, the levers on
the left hand side, and the pushbuttons in the center.
There are a number of customized versions (e.g. the
Unit Training Device FlyBox) for which some of the
details will differ from those described in this chapter.
The FlyBox is now available with a two axis joystick,
and there are a wide variety of options that can be
added to the JFx joystick.

The standard FlyBox (BG-530) has a three axis joystick
with the motion in the following directions: Forward/
Backward (pitch), Left/Right (roll) and Twist (yaw).
There is a trigger on the joystick which is a digital
input. The three axes of the joystick provide a
proportional output between 0-5 volts, which is
converted to a 12 bit analog signal scaled between -1.0
and 1.0.
The FlyBox can also be ordered with a two axis joystick
(BG-520) in which case there is no twist capability. A
proportional thumb rocker can be added to either 2 or 3
axis joystick to provide an additional analog input.
At the head of the joystick it is also possible to mount a
variety of momentary, latching, 2-position and 4-
position switches. Figure 6 shows a common configu-
ration with two momentary switches and a 4-position
switch. See our current price list for the various JFx
options.
The mapping between the physical controls and the
software structure is described in chapter 4.
