Slip ball indicator

[JAPman]

As a suggestion, since we cannot physically feel the lateral Gs of a sideslip, I would like to see a magnified view of the sideslip ball as shown in the image to compensate visually by means of an indicator.

I can think of 4 different sources for aircraft coordination information in the current simulation control interface. Do we really need a fifth?

[JAPman]

Just use the data that the VC slip ball display is getting and display it on the controls indicator.

It is difficult to make beautiful coordination turns.

Practice will make it better

I was taught that way by a joking instructor in FSX C172 training.

The little ball of VC can't look away from the front, and to get lateral G's with sims, I need a hydraulic seat, but I'm poor. I say this just to make a suggestion, since it doesn't seem that difficult to implement.

In the photo you posted, I can see ball just fine. What exactly make it difficult to look at instrument panel and see what that ball is doing?

This is what I do. Just fly around with gun or rocket mode. Those modes display the slip ball on the ASP-17 sight. Then you have a head up display of your slip and can coordinate while looking out front. Turns out Mil was thinking ahead
