Yes. The rudder pedals move with aileron control inputs. And yes, they can
be moved independently of the ailerons due to the spring configuration. It
makes slipping down final in a crosswind a little more difficult since you
have the usual control forces due to aerodynamic pressure plus the pressure
applied by the springs. That's why I prefer to crab down final and
straighten out just before the wheels touch down. That's also easier on the
passengers.

A J-3 is a Piper Cub.

It depends on the plane. High performance planes almost always have
rudder interconnect. Planes like Arrows, Mooneys, Bonanzas, etc
automatically move the rudder when you roll the ailerons.

Do you feel this in the rudder pedals? Also, do you still have
independent rudder control? That is, can you inhibit the automatic
rudder movement, or increase it?

I'll look at the sim aircraft on the ground and see if the rudder is
moving with the ailerons.

However, if the J-3 simulation acts that way, the sim developer doesn't
know
what he's doing.

What is J-3?
