Ok, tell us how you used a jog lever to counter the equivalent of a "weather helm". Looking forward to how you keep, say, 2 degrees of rudder with only "left full", "right full", and "center" commands.
Edit: I think I see your point. Nudge left or right to drive rudder, centering does nothing. Can't recall seeing that configuration but would certainly be possible.
