Default RE: (still) Rudderly confused

not all full scale planes use rudder all the time...when I was flying the full motion full scale 777 sim the instructor told me not to use rudder...the 727 doesn't use much rudder and when airspeed increases the rudder authority is decreased the MD88 and MD 90 the rudder travel is mechanically restricted with airspeed....
Now we have a gentleman that's worried that not using the rudder is morally wrong???????
Rudder will come to you..I wasn't taught rudder either, but I use it now when needed..not all the time, and not only in turns
