"very well done!! Enjoy!'Thanks... I just did :-)Just a few questions for Capt. B (Bill?) Ball...."In real life, it's actually very easy to steer the real jet with the left hand tiller-wheel instead of the rudder pedals (tiller gives 65 degrees nosewheel authority, rudder pedals 22 degrees)."On the 767, the tiller can command 65 degrees left (or 65 degrees right) and the rudder pedals 7.5 degrees left (or right). Could rudder pedal steering on the 757 be so different?"I noticed that the software showed a

Ian,My good man...what's up?You know, after I read your post....it hit me. There's no way the pedals could give 22 either side......I just checked my book and it says in fact....7 degrees either side. Now the question remains...where on earth did I come up with 22 degrees? I just went through BOTH of my manuals...and no mention of 22 degrees. I'll chalk that one off to "Anhauser's disease". I would have to guess that the holding pattern leg depiction is in fact a software thingy. Not being a programmer (except for the FMC..LOL), I can't say for sure.All in all...a great program.take care,BBall---------------------Capt.

"Now the question remains...where on earth did I come up with 22 degrees?"Possibly the rudder trim limit, "BBall"(?) ;-) The 767 has a (low speed) trim authority of 21.5 degrees left or right. The rudder itself has a limit of 26 degrees (I read).Hope this helps.Cheers.Ian.
