This is precisely the kind of system I know makes @Black-Square giggle
I'm impressed that you know exactly why 99% of the features in my aircraft are implemented What excites me is exactly this kind of uniqueness, and it's what still gets me most excited about working on my aircraft. As you may have read in my last development update, I have already implemented this, and it's surprisingly accurate to what I experienced flying the real machine. The only thing I would add to your description is that the system is so touchy at taxi/takeoff speeds that almost any movement of the actuator results in a departure from the centerline that would be shameful in any other aircraft. The way I described it to a pilot friend was, "the only way to maintain centerline is to enter a meditative state, and merely think about actuating the pedals, rather than actually moving your feet."
The system is optional, and disabled by default. I've also added an option to control the steering via the rudder axis, for anyone who doesn't have rudder pedal hardware, because I didn't want them to miss out on the fun.
I'm still very much looking forward to your feedback, btw, @SinkRate. Please don't think I've forgotten you for beta testing. I just want to make sure the sounds are nearly done before sharing the aircraft, since they are surprisingly important to the whole experience. I have a feeling that you will be the hero beta tester for this particular aircraft (there is always one), in just another week or two. Looking forward to it!
