[simpits-tech] Ideas Needed for Yoke resistance !

[David C. Allen]

Hi Roy
How about a cam and follower, you can adjust the cam profile to 
provide increasing resistance to rotating the yoke. If you have 
access to SolidWorks Motion you can design and model the forces and 
make changes before the chips fly.

Also you could use a servo motor, and a motion controller. There is 
some software that allows to design an "Electronic spring".

Then there are the bungee cords and VW steering damper methods you mentioned.
