Uh, gee, Einstein, a real rudder DOES control flight path.



Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.


There is never a case where it doesn't change flight path.


Not so. When an engine fails on a multi, a lot of rudder is required.
Skillfully done, the application of a lot of rudder is mandatory to
maintain the desired flight path.



It is changing the flight path the aircraft would have taken had you
not applied the rudder.


That is like saying a localizer changes the flight path on an ILS.
