Setting control surface range of movement

[FLS]

The rudder is interesting in AH because it moves slower than you can move the pedals. In a sense it's dampened already.  You can quickly kick full rudder and release your pedals before the rudder moves more than halfway.  It's useful to watch the rudder as you deflect it and get used to moving your pedals to match the rudder movement. This gives you a better sense of the rudder position and makes you more likely to get full deflection when kicking full rudder.

Well, one of the reason I use dampening on the rudder is to keep small movements of my feet from creating rudder input.  If I wiggle my feet on the pedals, they used to create some input that I didn't want.

I think it's better to use deadband for that Stoney. That way you get 0 output instead of dampened output.

Whoops!  You're right.  Deadband on rudder pedals, not dampening.
