Joystick and y-axis (a)symmetry question


Recommended Posts

I'm curious about the Y-axis range and how is it modelled. For Su-25T in particular, but the question is probably related to other planes too. I have my stick with some curves, but both X and Y axis are set in the same way.

If I pull the stick completely, I see this in the controls indicator:

If I push, the stick in the cockpit stops moving, when the indicator shows:

But even beyond this point, I can see not only indicator change, but also see/feel the action, all the way up to this indicator status:

Looking at the outside view, the elevators clearly move in the whole range.

Why does the indicator look asymmetric and should I care? Is the action realistic? Why does the stick stop mid-way while pushing?

Is this in any way related to Special options like this one in F-5?

Thanks for any insight into the topic.

And yes, I know that 99+% of the time I don't push that much and planes probably don't like it either.
