Every time I do a landing and I have to use the pedals to keep the aircraft straight on the runway I end up zig zagging madly from one side of the runway to the other.

The Saitek pedals I have cannot be controlled just slightly in either direction and after a good flight and approach it is a real dissapointment (goddness knows what the passengers think!!!).

Does anyone have any ideas what I might need to do to correct this please? (apart from chucking them out the window) :unsure: :unsure:

May be an obvious question, but have you tried adjusting the Null Zone and Sensitivity under the Controls >Advanced Settings for your pedals?

You stated that it happens after a landing, so I presume not when you start and take-off. If this is true, then it happens after you used the (differential) brakes on your pedals. Is this correct? I don't have a solution for this, but this is the same problem that I have. Try to do the following to see if this is indeed the case (for better support from other people who might know the answer, but don't know the real problem): instead if using the brakes on the pedals, use de period key to brake and see if the zig-zag problem the persists and report the results back in this topic.

 

Greetings,

Hey hey,

 

I use the saitek pedals.

 

If you don't have FSUIPC i reccomend it.

 

I had the same problem, but tuned them in there with a little null-zone, and then changing the response curve, so say the first 0-40% of the travel is limited , then over the remaining 60% it is normal response.

Maximum sensitivity in the Rudder axis works best for me.

 

Also, agree with the above, try using your differential brakes on the landing, rather than the rudder.

Thank you all for your help. Will try the differential brake trick and very sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
