Light opposit aileron must be held during the turn. IIRC same on the PMDG B-747.
Confirmed! Slight opposite aileron maintained throughout turn (30º bank, FL400, .84M, i.e. nowhere near "incipient spin").Cheers,- jahman.

Hey! What about me? :Big Grin: Did you check the links I provided for force-feedback yokes and joystics for FSX? (You did ask "does FSX model this behaviour?")Cheers,- jahman.
I think there's been a misunderstanding here. :smile: I only used the term 'force feedback' to explain that in a car sim, the car will want to go straight if you let go of the wheel. Regardless of whether there is force feedback or not. It's built into the physics.

The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

OK, and the answer is yes, but you need the specialized hardware to make it work, which is why I provided the links.Regarding control forces, the physics themselves are variable: Move the A/C CG back enough for the stabilizer/elevator not to generate any lift either up or down in level flight (neutral static longitudinal stability) and you will not have any elevator control forces depending on speed (aircraft trim no longer changes with speed), but you would have aerodynamic forces opposing elevator displacement.Fly the aircraft out of elevator trim fast enough and take your hands off the controls and elevator centering forces will be strong enough to rip your wings off! (It has happened!)Cheers,- jahman.
