"Is there a keyboard shortcut for autorudder..?"
Posted by Snave on 09-02-02 at 19:17z
..'coz I can't find it. I know about the yaw damper but I want (I want, I want, I want!) to be able to disengage/engage the auto-coordination function from a hotkey rather than having to pause the sim and go into the realism menu.

It's for sideslip approaches without rudder pedals, y'know...

You can assign a joystick button to this control in FSUIPC, since version 2.88. I'm afraid I don't do keyboards at present.

Hmm, guess I'll just have to forego one of the old button settings then.
You can't set rudder trim with auto-coordination enabled, it always compensates to keep the ball centred.

If you like using the mouse there are some Auto-Coordination gauges around. Just plain switches you can use with a mouse. They didn't work with FS2002 but I fixed that with one of the recent releases of FSUIPC.

If you can't find one let me know and I'll email the ones I've got.
