Re: VKB T-Rudder MK II review
...a typical home cockpit.
Here the user can sit as still as (s)he wants, so control elements can be much smaller as they don't require as much tolerance.
Just for argument's sake, look at sailplanes like the ASK21, one of the most popular out there.
These saiplanes, too, have toe rudder, despite being a full-sized airplane (and despite requiring a significant amount of rudder due to being a sail plane!).
So in other words, if a big sail plane can do with toe pedals, it should suffice for a virtual pilot, too.
But there's perhaps a more mechanistic argument to make for toe rudders. It's that of motor noise.
With motor noise I don't mean actual noise from the speakers, but the signal noise that your nerves and muscles have:
whenever you move an arm, leg etc. there is a small degree of error in every time a command is created, passed on, or
executed by a muscle fiber (of which there are many).
This error/noise grows as your movements require more force or span wider distances, because they involve more effects,
more muscles, more muscle fibers, more nerves, over a prolonged period of time.
There's sort of an ergonomic law based on that fact: Fitt's law(see footnote).
But the implication is clear: large movements produce more error due to physiology.
Conventional pedals require larger movements. Thus, the pedals involving many muscles (conventional) will produce more
error/be less accurate than the pedals requiring few muscles (toe rudder).
Of course that does not necessarily mean that a VKB T-Rudder will make you better at piloting than,
say, the MFG Crosswind pedals (which I would like to have, too).
But this little anecdote seems to reflect how deeply VKB takes human factors, among which ergonomics, into account when
designing their product.
This is inherently good design, because their products adapt to the user rather than the other way around.
Foot note: Fitt's law, briefly, states that users are more inaccurate in their movements the further two subsequently used elements are removed from another.
This can be buttons on a machine, a GUI, whatever. Importantly, the degree of added inaccuracy is predictable.
So, you know that when two objects are x cm apart, you must make the second one y % bigger for it to be always reached accurately,
or otherwise move them z cm closer to one another.
