stick limiter deflection override vs the ASC direct control:what's the difference?

[skypickle]

 

There two controls about which I do not clearly understand the difference

The stick limiter deflection override

The ASC direct control

 

I can appreciate what the 'cobra' button does but how is the first one implemented? What am I supoosed to notice?

The Stick deflection override just turns off your G-Limiter,
The Cobra bypasses the flight computer for Roll and Pitch

Thank you. I noticed that the Cobra button is a toggle. Is the stick deflection override also a toggle? Is there any cockpit indication when it is set?

There is no stick limiter override indicator in the cockpit because, in the real world, you override the limiter by pulling harder on the stick. In the sim, there’s a setting to mimic the harder pull, instead.

EDIT: Never answered the first part of the question. No. It's not a toggle. Press and hold for as long as you want the override function.

The ASC direct control

From manual:

Quote

Direct control switch
The DIRECT CONTROL mode is switched on by pressing the [S] key if the fly-by-wire system fails. Piloting in this mode requires special care, the flight is characterized by:
- Insufficient pitching stability of the aircraft
- Low aerodynamic damping
- Increased longitudinal stick sensitivity
It is in this mode that the “Pougachev’s cobra” aerobatic maneuver can be performed. The mode is switched off by pressing the [S] key again. The on/off control can be checked by the switch on the left panel in the cockpit.

...

DIRECT CONTROL EMERGENCY mode: in this mode, the stabilizer deflects in accordance with the control stick inputs only.
