correct as-is F16 Low Speed Adverse Yaw

[BIGNEWY]

without public evidence I am reluctant to task the team with changing anything, I have to be careful how we spend our dev time with tasks, so having evidence is required. I hope everyone can understand that. 

thanks

I understand that, which is why I've been asking you to ask your SMEs about this. They are more knowledgeable about this than either of us and being asked questions is what they are around for.

Has there been any update with this? I was doing an approach yesterday and still noticed a large amount of adverse yaw.

The video proves, without any doubt, that the roll applied to the aircraft being flown is receiving the yaw input necessary to hide all apparent adverse yaw. Is it the same F-16 as ours? Was the pilot perfectly using their pedals to achieve the same outcome? Those are valid considerations, but the F-16C did have an ARI tasked to perform this automation. 

Sometimes there are frequent claims that trickle down from pilots and engineers that have merit but won't have documentation to back it up. You're never going to get source code from your community. I think you should task your team to investigate and not worry if things outside your scope of expertise are valid. It's not what neither you nor your community gets paid for.

If you really need convincing, hit up google with F-16 Aileron Rudder interconnect Nasa. You should be able to find a paper or two with example feedback loops that could be implemented directly to achieve the effect widely claimed. There are many open proposals in public. Something of some form made it in, but I don't have permission to share it. I figure your team should be allowed to, and be interested in, implementing their own version of it to mimic the true aircraft.

I'm including another track file that demonstrates the adverse yaw in the viper.

Good to see this got fixed!
