Hi guys ,just came back from a vacation from turkey . when we departed schiphol on a Transavia 737-800 ( first flight of the day 0500 aircraft was cold and dark ) i noticed that the rudder was all the way to the left ,caused by the wind , i thought this was impossible with a 737 ng ?Best regardsGérard

Gerard, Since the Rudder Power Control Units are Hydraulically powered, it will move Left or Right with the wind until the Hydraulic power is turned ON just before pushback.

Thanks Paul ,is this also simulated with the ngx because i never seen it with the ngx ,Gérard

Would be surprised if it's not, every addon I have flown simulates the rudder moving with the wind when not powered by the HYD

I don't know if this is related, but I've noticed issues in landing the past 2 flights. After taking the flight off autopilot, the plane seems to want to bank left. I have to fight to keep it from "pulling" to the left. I'm not using any outside flight controls (unfortunately, no yoke or rudder pedals until I get some $$$), so you can't blame it on that. I thought it might possibly be an engine-out situation, but I received no such warnings. Really strange.

I have been seeing exact same thing as well, turn off auto pilot during after capturing LOC/GS, and mine was banking right, i have had this twice now, always just after AP off.Thinking i will try see if pressing (FSX centre all controls ) will fix this issue, its supposed to centre aileron/rudder/pitch trims. If that fails , dont know what it could be.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another problem i seen with NGX is Left AP disengage during turbulence, no big deal , but for the rest of the flight i am not able to reengage left AP.I had to use right AP all the rest of the way, but on approach LOC/APP capture buttons had no effect whatsoever, even though ILS tunes and verified ok.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Looks like we goan need another NGX patch soon
