Feet presence detection microswitch on pedals

...will it be modeled? Imho it would be great to have it there binded to the toe brakes. I can think of two solutions...

 

- microswitch as a button

you must bind this button the toebrake axis to this button in your pedal's software

IF toebrake =/= 0

THEN press button

ELSE release button

 

- microswitch as an axis

IF toebrake =/= 0

THEN feet are present on the pedals

 

It can also be combined with wheel brakes, for example right toebrake controls this microswitch and left one controls wheel brake.

It actually is already modelled.

 

When you fly with heading hold channel on of the AP, the helo tries to maintain that heading, even if you bank for a turn. That results in the helo starting to "crab", to fly sideways. Now the switches in the pedals are implemented as "if you give rudder input, your feet are assumed to be on the pedals". That means, as soon as you give at least a tiny bit of rudder, the heading channeld will temporarely disengage because of "feet on pedals". When you then stop giving rudder input (and the pedals re-center), the helo assumes "foot are off the pedals" and re-engages the heading channel again.
