PMDG 737 NGX drifting?

Featured Replies

Hi

 

Little problem with my 737-700 NGX (no winglets).

 

During the approach I switch off autopilot and autothrottle during "approaching minimums" callout. Even though I am not applying any rudder nor moving ailerons plane is drifting right. I am sure that there is no crosswind and rudder is centered - is it normal behavior? Drifting is not a big problem and I am still able to land but I remember that there was the same problem with default planes with p-factor maxed out and I read that in NGX everything should be maxed out - so is it normal?

 

Second question regarding elevators and rudder display - in 737-600 I can see on lower du when I press "sys" button what is the value of rudder/elevator.

 

But in 737-700 easy jet livery I press sys and there is no info. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks in advance

Not all liveries have the flight controls on the lower DU.

 

Are your engines producing the same power?

Yes. But I found the possible reason - rudder joystick was +54% instead of 50 so it was not centered properly. Recalibrated it for now but it seems it is Logitech bad manufacturing as it happens in lot of extreme 3d. Thanks for tip about du! I noticed when I installed united airlines - totally different :) PMDG did amazing job

Not good. Problem is still there. And worst part is that setting deadzone does not work in PMDG at least on my pc...

 

Any chance to fly it with auto rudder before I get pedals?
