What's with the rudder Authority

[okletsgo]

Seems really off (much too small), even why flying fast. Anyone agree?

Yes. The rudder-effectivity could use some steroids.

I can hardly create any meaningful sideslip with the pedals maxed and cross-controlling.

I've just recorded a quick and dirty track.

I think the stability of the aircraft is a tiny bit too great upon any stick-movement (compared to other modules, including the C-101 and L-39) and the rudder in particular yields too little effectiveness (achievable sideslip-angle vs. rudder deflection angle). Also notice, the controls-indication is reversed for the rudder.

I can hardly have the ball swing out with full rudder on finals.

What he said.

The ball seems glued to the middle.

Full deflection of the rudder at 200kts should have a dramatic effect on the aircraft, but you can do just that, no problem.
