Rudder Control

[fsimpro]

I have a Logitech Attack 3 Joystick, which don't have a twist-axis for rudder. I also don't have rudder pedals - and dont want to invest in some, they are IMO expensive for what you get.To my knowledge, rudder control is quite crucial for steering while taxiing, especially with seaplanes in water (water rudder). Is there any way to effectively control the rudder with your keyboard or something without extra hardware?The default keyboard controls are a pain - they yaw the rudder, but after your control input you must press the keys again and again to recenter the rudder. What I am hoping for, is a way to control the rudder such that, when I press the key for "left rudder", the rudder will yaw left say 50%, and then recenter itself after I release the key. Is this possible? Thanks.

HelloDon't forget you also get toe brakes when you have the rudder pedals, also essential when taxiing IMO.I have the CH pro and also the Saitek pedals, both have been reliable and well worth the cost

Saiteks new pedals look epic. I have their older plastic ones an they have been great.

Perhaps mouse wheel could be set for rudder. If you use FSUIPC It may just be a possibility.Bjorn

I have an old saitek x25F, which has a seperate throttle unit with buttons and dials. It does have a seperate rudder rocker but it does not work well. What I have done is use the dial as this, after a little practice works very well.Bob

You can just select Auto Rudder. But if you ever plan on flying for real, I would suggest getting rudder pedals. For me, getting a set of rudder pedals was an absolute must.

Does anyone exactly understand how the autorudder works? Like move joystick left = ailerons left + rudder left?

Yes, correct.

Yes, correct.

However it seems when flying seaplanes, you are unable to turn the airplane while taxing in water.
