I have a real F-16 throttle arm/friction/mounting plate assembly…which is very smooth - way smoother than either of the WH or Cougar throttles.

One of the things I’ll be going for in my cockpit build is to get the control forces as close to RL as I can - so my FCC WH setup will be set up for 25 lbf for full input, and I’ll have to do some research on just how the rudders are.
Even the HOTAS WH (as stiff as it is…) is an incredibly light stick in comparison to RL center sticks, and if you put an extension on it, it only gets lighter because of the greater leverage. We tend to fly with incredibly light sticks, as a community…every time I fly a RL trainer I get reminded of this. What it depends on is a combination of the input gains of the particular aircraft’s control system, how the stick force per G is implemented to provide dynamic feel, and if the jet is fly-by-wire…well…all bets are off. Yes, you are correct in the first…but in the second the real answer is more “it depends”. Same reason why some people put extensions on their Warthog stick. Same reason why some people put extensions on their Warthog I’m trying to say is, although the force stick only moves 1/8 of an inch, the movement is not what makes the aircraft respond, it’s only the force you apply, I suppose. The 6 inches range just offers more precision. Like comparing a traditional type stick with a range of motion of 6 inches to another with a range of 3 inches to control the same aileron movement. I suspect a range of 0 - 25 lbf would be a ‘wider range of input’ than 0 - 3 inches (I know I can’t compare lbf to inch, but still), offering you more control. In a conventional stick you get an input range of what, 0 - 3 inches to control this same range of aileron motion. So, on a force stick you get an input range of 0 - 25 lbf to control the full range of the aircraft’s aileron, for example. What I’m trying to say is, although the force stick only moves 1/8 of an inch, the movement is not what makes the aircraft respond, it’s only the force you apply, I suppose. The FCC3 simulates this very nicely - I thought I would over-control this setup, but I absolutely LOVE it. This only works because the WH stick has such stiff have an FCC3 converted Cougar - I have an FCC3 converted Cougar - the real F-16 stick only moves about 1/8 of an inch…and is proportional to full input at a 25 lbf pull. If you find yourself pulling to the full range, any input outside of the short-cal get ignored…so you end up flying with pressure on the stick. This makes the stick ultra sensitive, but the training does seem to transfer to using the FCC3 setup. I cal it to max range at very short throws. Something I do with my HOTAS Warthog is to over-calibrate it to simulate this…i.e.
I have an FCC3 converted Cougar - the real F-16 stick only moves about 1/8 of an inch…and is proportional to full input at a 25 lbf pull. I could be wrong though… this is something that sparks my curiosity, if someone has some knowledge on this, please step in.īut, despite all that, if you simply change the limit in TARGET in order to get full deflection with a small stick movement, you’ll be seriously hindered in terms of accuracy and will much probably be moving away, instead of closer to the real jet control. On a force stick, you’re limited by the range of force, and I suspect this range is greater, allowing more precision than a traditional stick. In a traditional stick, you’re limited by the range of motion - the bigger, the better, because it allows more precision.
Never flown with a force sensitive stick, but I suspect it would simulate a long travel instead of a short travel traditional stick, because of the force range you can apply to it.
