3) This one just occurred to me: I wonder if the control inputs from stick and rudder are linear? Or, are they perhaps graduated? In our FCS model, we take the joystick input and map it linearly to the range of values that the control surfaces can see - essentially. It might make sense that for small excursions about center (no control inputs) that control movements are kept small, but as one makes bigger inputs, that the "gain" increases. Does anyone have any comments on this? If this was in fact the case, it would not be difficult to modify our control system to model this.

In fact, even the friction of the control system (or absence of that) could change the perception ...


Maybe the (old) C-172 just need some grease in the bearings?
