I think I just had a flash of brilliance. :-) When taxiing a cessna, you use the rudder pedals and when you hit their limit, you start adding toe brake to tighten the turn. When you get the hang of it, the brakes almost seem like a fluid extension of the rudder pedals. So, what about this for an idea: Let's map the -1 ... +1 rudder control range so that -0.5 ... +0.5 is the full rudder range, and then -1 ... -0.5 maps from full left toe brake to none. +0.5 ... 1.0 would map the right toe brakes. This would be great for ground steering.
