Hi Curt
Well actually there are quite some RL aircraft having a so-called
rudder-aileron interconnect. Of course in these aircraft it acts both
ways: A spring (so not hard linked 1:1) pulls the rudder at aileron
deflection and vice versa. The reason is however a very different one
namely a la
In response to the auto-coordination question, it does need to be
there for users that do not have pedals or a twist stick joystick.
Ideally, the autopilot should either disable auto-coordination and
then restore state afterwards, if enabled by user or fly despite it.
I personally think that stat

Not many aircraft are designed to be flown using a keyboard or a mouse either.

The TSR2 prototype actually had a knob to allow a variable amount positive or
negative rudder to be input from the roll taileron command.

Perhaps this could be implemented with a property rule in preferences.xml

The counter argument here is that the existing "auto coordination" system
is nothing more than one line of code that forces some rudder deflection in
proportion to aileron deflection -- basically implementing some sort of
hard linked manual system. I am sure there are very few (if any?) real

At least the older C172's are having mechanically operated parking

Agreed, but the as you are saying, the brake is hydraulic and therefore there
will always be a valve that traps the hydraulic fluid and keeps the pressure on
the brake pistons. This valve will always only be fully closed in the end
position (Just as a tip if you will be using a 'double'). This

How a parking brake on small aircraft works:
There is a hydraulic line between the brake cylinders at the pedals ('toe
brakes'). The hydraulic pressure pushes pistons in the brake saddle (aircraft
fixed) against the brake disk on the wheels.
In this line there is a valve that can block this line
