[simpits-tech] Yoke/pedal force

[Matt Bailey]

The problem there is that you're changing the center point. You need pressure 
to build as you increase pedal input, with a needle valve between the two 
cylinders it would initially build but then start to taper off, eventually 
equalizing if you held a constant rudder input. I've always thought the best 
way to set up a pneumatic system would be to adjust pressure in the cylinders 
with airspeed. You'd still have a constant amount of air in the cylinder for 
a given speed, hence pressure would build as volume decreases, as you depress 
the pedal/yoke/stick, but this pressure would increase as airspeed in the sim 
increased. You'd have to have some serious regulators though.
