rstandi Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Getting ready to purchase some rudder pedals. Hoping someone who has flown a Tomcat will chime in... Wondering how much travel the real rudder pedals have, and how much rudder was needed for things like the Break turn. In trying to do it with a twist stick, I'm terrible..... Does the plane need a little rudder or a lot in that turn.... Thanks rstandi
Nealius Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I'm curious as well. I use Saitek Pro pedals with a curve of +20 and there are times when I only need to push the pedals 5mm in a turn. They seem unreasonably sensitive--as do the rudders on all DCS aircraft--but if I add more deadzone/curve I won't have proper NWS performance when taxiing.
9thHunt Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Not an SME, but I've found that the Tomcat actually handles a little better with no curves at all.
Jackjack171 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Not an SME. I have the Thrustmaster pedals and only us a smidgen of pedal whenever flying the Tomcat. DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!
