Are the rudder pedals correct?

[Razi]

In an attempt to build my own Hornet rudder pedals, I've been doing a fair bit of research and it appears that DCS may have modeled and animated the pedals incorrectly - but I'm not entirely sure.

 

Pictures I've seen and my readings suggests they are very similar to the Viper pedals.

 

Small detail, but then again Eagle Dynamics has shown care for these little things (thankfully), after all they properly animated the air vents!

Removed quoted information for rule 1.16

The Pedals Move fore and aft for rudder/nws input, and rotate for toe brakes.

 

Watch Any YT Cockpit Video of TakeOff/Landing/Taxi. you can clearly see the pilots knee's drop when pushing pedals to turn.

 

Force Sensors are used in the NWS System, as the movement of the pedals are disconnected from the rudder interface system when using NWS.

 

Sensors are also used in the Roll, Pitch and Yaw Channels to provide aerodynamic resistance, as the input is put to the DFCS.

In the event of a DFCS Failure, the force sensors are disabled/bypassed and the aircraft is controlled through Mechanical Linkage.

 

You're Thinking Force Sensors (ala F-16 Control Stick).

 

Also Be Mindful of Rule 1.16:

1.16 Posting of images, file links, file sharing links, and copying and pasting information is prohibited if the source document is from a classified or ITAR controlled source.

When posting aircraft, sensor or weapon information more recent than 1980, you must also include the source of the document showing that it is 100% public and verified as not from a classified or non-ITAR controlled source. To not do so will result in the removal of the message.

 

Posting information from a classified or ITAR-controlled source will result in the message being removed and a 20% warning and one-week suspension (dependent on warning level).

Thanks SkateZilla.

 

The only pictures I can find are for an F/A-18A and they have a mechanism like the Viper, which is confusing, because I do see the knee bend in the videos as you say. Viper videos also show the knees bend as well though.

F-16 Pedals move as well, only the Stick uses the Force Sensors
