RUDDER PEDAL SYSTEM
The whole pedal control system can be moved forward and backward to suit the pilot with the
pedal adjust lever. Drag this lever up and down with the left mouse
button. Please note there is NO movement of the pedals when you
control the aircraft on the ground (the pedals are not used in flight) as it
uses the same system as the stick. It measures force applied to it, not
movement. However we added a little movement so there is some
feedback to the user. The brake pedals will animate when the brakes are
applied.
ARM RESTS
Although a simple object, it is very important because it supports the right arm of the pilot under
high G-loads. Left clicking moves it towards you, right clicking on the armrest will move it out of
the way so you can see the controls beneath it better. The rear arm moves up and down using the
left and right mouse buttons when clicked on the small lever on the structure that fixes the arm rest to
the side. Animating the arm rests makes it easier to see the panels below them without having to move
the view point. The click zones are shown on the image.
OCTOPUS
The octopus locks the canopy and in many models hides the
canopy control switch. Always have the canopy down when
you fly. (see the left console section for more detail).
