    What buttons can I use for rudder pedals?

      @AviatorAsh หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you want realism I’d heavily recommend buying some actual rudder pedals. If you just want to fly for fun and don’t want to spend too much button/switches C1/C2 could work as rudder axis? I haven’t personally tried…

      I’ve actually paid for my own flight training. I started saving when I was 15 and got a part time/casual job. Been working around 15-20+ hours each week, none of this would be possible without my own hard work. Certainly not ‘handed’ to me.

  • @AirJoe
    @AirJoe 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason the rudder even exists is to counteract adverse yaw. (This is a detailed explanation of why turns are coordinated) Say we were to make left turn as you do this the alierons deflect the air of the left wing up causing it to go down and vice versa on the other side. As this happens the right wing produces more lift and therefore more drag as it raises. The nose will initially pull to the right opposite of our left turn due to that drag. You can't really see this in a powered plane but you can in a glider. To counteract this we use the rudder to fix the adverse yaw. There you go. Now you know more than most licensed pilots do!

  • @AirJoe

    I have found flight sims to be very good at learning systems, procedures, and approaches etc. You still will never get the feel of a real yoke/stick. We don't have good force feedback yet.
