February 26, 201610 yr Always keep that balance ball in the middle! That's what I was taught when I learnt to fly. Your aeroplane will thank you The only exception to that rule is when you side-slip to lose altitude without gaining extra speed. Sadly this isn't very well replicated in P3D (or FSX).

February 26, 201610 yr When piloting my Beech, I always fly with yoke and rudder coordinated. On the simulator (prepar3d), the rudder is too sensitive and I tend to always over compensate. Thus I really only use it when crabbing or in cross winds. Also, with the simulator there is no "seat of the pants" feel so much of the physical cues are missed. Beechcraft Sundowner
February 26, 201610 yr side-slip to lose altitude without gaining extra speed. Sadly this isn't very well replicated in P3D (or FSX). That depends on the aircraft implementation. Do you have the Realair Scout? Or the Carenado Cessna 152? Those ones side-slip exceptionally well. The A2A Cub sort of does but doesn't seem to have enough rudder assertion. From memory I think a lot of the Golden Age Simulations aircraft work well (notably the PT-22). Probably lots of others but I don't fly many different aircraft much.

February 26, 201610 yr I only ever used to use the rudder to compensate for prop torque when putting the power on in the climb, never used to look at the ball and most of the time flew skid turns. In a real aircraft you dont need to look at the turn coordinator because you can feel that the aircraft is aligned to the turn, in FSX i dont bother and leave auto-coord off. The other time i would use rudder is for turns without using the control wheel, my instructor used to get me to fly back to London just using rudder,trim and power, teaches you how to really handle the aircraft.
February 26, 201610 yr Bob, I was having a joke I though I made that clear.....never mind. Auto rudder.......not for me. David Murden.

February 26, 201610 yr When you only have a CH Flightstick Pro joystick as a controller, AutoRudder is pretty much required.

February 26, 201610 yr Do you have the Realair Scout? Or the Carenado Cessna 152? The Scout yes. And their SF260, Duke and Lancair slip nicely too. Particularly useful with the ultra-slippery Lancair! And yes when feeling lazy I also trim the aeroplane out and just change direction gently using the rudder only.

February 26, 201610 yr Well, I am a glider pilot. Need I say more. If you power guys want to learn what your feet are for go take some gliding lessons.
February 27, 201610 yr Like a lot of simmers, I use P3D as a home training device to keep in touch with GA aviation and stay awake on some core topics among them checklist, briefing, iPad + nav.app handling... and skid ball monitoring. It's a great feature, why would I skip it ! ;-) Vincent B. Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.
