Default RE: Throttle to Rudder Rate mix

Hi nonstoprc,

highside is talking about controlling the total rate of the rudder via a non-linear curve coming from the throttle position, something that the 12FG and 14MZ can't do (yet).

The mixes RogerParrett and my self are talking about are a "backdoor" way of achieving a similar effect but it would seem that the best that can be managed is a linear change in total rate with no extra bumps or dips at certain points.

Of course multiple conditions and/or mutliple rates switched via the throttle stick would duplicate the non-linear effect highside is used to but not in a smooth seamless fashion as the rudder would quickly jerk (depending on the delays) to the new position, when switching between on the AFR's or Rate curve's. The Rudder jumping between different AFR or Rate curves as you throttle up and down performing a rolling loop probably would lose you more points than it would be worth.

This might be worth asking Futaba to look at for a future firmware update???
