silverdevil Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 On F16 my rudder padals are super sensitive with NWS. It is so bad that on take off I use only tail rudder. On landing I have to really careful when below 60 and then enable. I have dampener and soft spring add-ons. Can curves help this? I look like I had too much to drink thanks 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

I try lo line up as straight as possible. And I usually turn off NWS as soon as I start rolling. On landing, I just wait as long as I can to enable. Trying out curves makes no harm though.
edmuss Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Is it possible to rest your heels on the floor and just use differential pressure from your toes to keep the movements small? Perhaps a stiffer spring might actually help by giving something to push against? I have neither F16 nor crosswinds but since I built my own pendular rudders with my heels on the floor I've found that I can get miniscule rudder inputs by simply flexing my toes. It might help that I designed massive travel into the pedals (there's about 250mm of pedal travel) so the accuracy is pretty high, have to dance around a bit in the chair to get max rudder input though 1 Ryzen7 7800X3D / RTX3080ti / 64GB DDR5 4800 / Varjo Aero / Leap Motion / Kinect Headtracking TM 28" Warthog Deltasim Hotas / DIY Pendular Rudders / DIY Cyclic Maglock Trimmer / DIY Abris / TM TX 599 evo wheel / TM T3PA pro / DIY 7+1+Sequential Shifter / DIY Handbrake / Cobra Clubman Seat Shoehorned into a 43" x 43" cupboard.
silverdevil Posted August 15, 2022 Author Posted August 15, 2022 @MAXsenna and @edmuss I was thinking about this after posting. If I mess with the curves, it would affect both tail rudder and NWS. I do have the original stiff spring which will do a better job of returning to center. F16 is always very out of control on the ground anyway. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Can you adjust the dampening? 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

I can indeed adjust. I am going try variations. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.
