ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The Bell 407 does not react to pedal input until the pedal is pushed about 20% either direction, making it very difficult to precisely control yaw.

This is NOT a controller problem, the pedals in the Bell 407 cockpit are animated according to the physical movement of the controller. Only the aircraft does not react to it at all, at least not under about 60 kts. At around 80 kts, the aircraft starts to react to smaller pedal movements.

There is no dead-zone set in the controller settings, and other helicopters behave normally.

I really hope inibuilds will put much more work into this helicopter! Interestingly the SU5 changelog doesn’t even mention the b407. I assume that means it is still in a very early stage of development.

Devs are being asked about the 407 plus a couple of other a/c that have been updated with no mention in the release notes.
