Keyboard controls

[Tweek]

I was wondering whether there is a way to use the keyboard for your control surfaces (rudder in my case) without 'trimming' the aircraft, i.e. the rudder doesn't stay in the position you let go of the key at. Of course, with a joystick, the ailerons and elevators go back into position as the stick is moved back, but with keys, it doesn't recognise that you've let go. Seeing as I don't have rudder pedals, I have to use the keyboard, which I avoid doing as you would be constantly trying to regain the rudder's neutral position.

The 5 key recenters keyboard control surfaces, including rudder.

Also, you can 'connect' the rudder to your joystick ailerons thru ..aircraft/realism.. by selecting 'autorudder'.
This will allow you to use the joy to steer while taxiing, but will make 'crabbing' or 'sideslipping', which require seperate rudder control, impossible.

Yeah, I've been using auto rudder to taxi, it was just that I wanted rudder for in flight, for landings/aerobatics etc.

I'll see how it works, should do the trick
