About forward slips

Yep. Here's another video that should answer most of the above questions:

Very cool. Your aircraft must be awash in cameras.

It does make it much more clear.

Considering I designed the Fly Baby MSFS model, it's my fault either way. :-)

If you say so. I don't know how the models are implemented
internally.

Actually, the problem is more the limited throw of the yaw control. The Fly
Baby has a very powerful rudder, but the pedals have a fairly long travel. That
makes it easy to input the precise amount of yaw. On the computer, the stick
only wiggles ~10 degrees left and right. I can run the rudder scalars up on the
MSFS config file, but then the rudder control gets too sensitive for normal
operations. Even a set of rudder pedals (older Thrustmasters) didn't give
enough control throw.

The twist rudder on the throttle is definitely a problem with any
aircraft. But it's better than the keyboard.

Would require some SERIOUS wriggling on a computer control
stick....

All rudder movements are difficult with a twisting joystick.
