Im a RL pilot too, and it's interesting cuz heavier and less self-centering pedals are all I want! Don't you dislike the excessive self-centerig of PC pedals (compared to RL flying) ? I fly small, old single-engined trainers (getting my CPL now), and the rudder reacts in a much heavier and "looser" way..
Well, I have to agree with Thunderbolt here. It's really only when doing a Hammerhead that the rudder pedals loose their self centering effect from my experiences, otherwise the air pressure will push them back.

Most WW II birds have the rudder "overhang" present on many modern aerobatic planes with large rudders to make rudder control less self centering so I guess they had a rather hard "self centering" effect (look at the 109 for example).

Then I agree that they often require a lot more pressure than PC-peripherals!
