Proper implementation of the rudder controls of the aircraft in a home simulator requires the use of control loading (force feedback). Reviewing the logic of the Level-D aircraft rudder function was of high interest to see how this could be … Continue reading
Brake Pedal Dampers
The brake control master cylinders are now installed on the First Officer (FO) side rudder mechanism. Linkage bars connect the FO and Captain side allowing for dual link control.
