Switching over to rudder pedals

Try this!  When you set up your Peds...I use the CH Pro, change the response cure to look like a "V".
Here's a copy of my "stick.cfg"

0,32767,65535,0.150000,0.162000,0
0,31955,65535,0.112000,0.144000,0

0,0,65535,0.050000,0.100000,0
1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00 - ROLL
0.15,0.20,0.26,0.32,0.40,0.47,0.55,0.66,0.78,0.95 - PITCH
1.00,0.90,0.77,0.64,0.50,0.50,0.65,0.78,0.89,1.00 - RUDDER

I use a bit of dampening and a bit of deadband say 10% or less.

Works for me!  Good luck

Set the rudder config to very low input %

ie

10    2
20    4
30    8
40    12
50    25
60    35
70     45
80     65
90     80
100   100


This ensures that you dont overcorrect with minor rudder inputs.

Pedals are for real pilots in real planes.

For PC gamers there are twisty sticks, with optional pedals for pilot wannabes.

You got it right!!

I got pilots licence and ,as I mentioned earlier , theres no way those plastic paddles can imitate the real feel of rudders.

Its really important to feel the airflow, for example when making hammerheads. Limp response when applying rudder  = too slow too late :) --> tail slide....

When switching from the twisty sticks to pedals an easy way to see the improvement is your hit %. It will almost double.  I suggest them to everyone serious about AH.
