Hallo everybodyI use FS2004, using a Joystick and the parameter "autorudder" is on.When I am taxying on the ground, and I would like to turn left or tight, some aircrafts react very slowly to my command, especially to return to the neutral position. When I want to continue stright ahead, it takes a "long time" until the aircraft is really going stright forward. For example: I want to turn left, so I put my joystick to left. After the turn isalmost completed and I want to go stright forward, I have to put my joystick to right for a short time.This happens not to all aircrafts. Some of them are going stright forward, with no need of any correction.I also tryed to test with "sensivity" and "null Zone", but with no succes for some aircrafts. Does anybody have an idea how to get rid of this "Problem"? I also tryed to modify the parameters "rudder_effectiveness" in the aircraft.cfg-File, but I didnt see any difference.Thanks for your Help

What sort of aircraft? How fast are you taxiing? Some aircraft--notably the POSKY Boeing 747--are real challenges in turns.

Sometimes the caster angle for the nose-wheel is not correctly set up in the aircraft.cfg. This is almost certainly the case when the aircraft won't straighten out after a turn.Each aircraft with such a problem needs looking at individually. If you can quote the aircraft(s) concerned maybe someone on here has already made the necessary corrections.John

It's probably more likely that you're taxying too fast! You should never exceed 15kts on the straight and turns should always be made at walking pace. Try doing a sharp left/right turn in a wide body full of pax at 10knts or above and you will feel the pleasant texture of vomit down the back of your neck!! Momentum in a large a/c is enormous especially if it turns at speed!If it is your joystick at fault then one way you can test it is to taxi straight in zero wind hands off. If the a/c quickly drifts to one side or the other then your calibration is incorrect or your stick needs some internal adjustment or lubrication.vololiberista
