Well my main sim is IL2. I always fly on online servers that are full switch so I definitely need a rudder to taxi and also sometimes to set up quick shots.
I guess I can probably use the throttle lever that is on the Fighterstick as a rudder, but I don't know how easily I can reach it. I guess I would have to take my hand off of the throttle and move it to the stick to kick the rudder.
I don't know if that combination would overall make me a better pilot or a worse pilot.
My x45 stick was always so jerky from the super stiff spring that I always used the rudder to help kick the plane back to where I wanted it to be for a shot. Maybe I won't need the rudder so often if the Fighterstick is as smooth as most people say it is?
I always use it to ease the plane around while flying formation too though.... Ugh... I don't know.
