Fellow FS9 Pilots....

 

I am using the PSS Dash 8-300 aircraft. I have found everything on the aircraft works well with one interesting peculiarity. While parked on the gate at my departure airport the rudder works fine. I can kick my CH rudder pedals left and right and can visually verify by looking at the external view of the plane that in fact the rudder is moving properly. Now, sometime after takeoff something happens to the rudder.

 

I have noticed that after landing when I taxi up to the arrival gate and attempt to move the rudder, l go to an external view of the aircraft and can see that the rudder is constantly moving very fast....almost like it is in spasm and only moves a little left to right. When I try to get full rudder deflection by moving my pedals completely left and right the rudder on the aircraft fails to respond. I have written Flight1 support concerning this issue and was told they have no idea what is causing the problem.

 

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition, FS9.1 version, and a CH Products Control Yoke and CH Rudder Pedals all of which have been calibrated using my FSUIPC ver 3.99G. If anyone has any thoughts about this phenomenom please share them with me. I can fly the aircraft with no loss of directional control. It is just one of those unsolved issues that is a nuisance.

 

Happy Flying,

Yaw damper still on?
