CPG x and y cursor controls

[sobe]

FOR THE CPG: I know that the RHG MAN TRK x/y axis' are the cursor controls for the TAD.  However, what is the difference between the LHG cursor controls on the TEDAC and the HOCAS cursor controls on the collective?  They seem to do the same thing.

Yup, spot on. Think of it this way: If the CPG is flying the aircraft then it's impractical to have to take one hand off the controls to operate the cursor in the TEDAC. If the PLT is flying, then chances are the CPG is going to be hands-on with the TEDAC, so it makes sense to have to cursor control mirrored there. Also, if you're not actively flying the aircraft then you shouldn't even be touching the flight controls as this can lead to unwanted tactile feedback/resistance for the person who is flying.

frostycab.  Thanks for the explanation.  I was trying to figure out how to set up my controls and could not figure out why I needed both as I will be using George to fly the aircraft.

Thanks again for the simple and concise explanation.
