Assign an axis for steering in P3D?

Featured Replies

I know rudder pedals move the steering wheel by 7 degrees and that steering wheel can move the front wheel by 78 degrees....

 

I have 2 joysticks, and I want to use one of them only as a steering wheel. And I want to disconnect the rudder from the steering wheel...

 

Can I do that in P3D?

I assigned an axis to "Steering Set" in FSUIPC.

I assigned an axis to "Steering Set" in FSUIPC.

Thank you for the information... But if assign the steering via FSUIPC, how does the front wheel behaves when I move the rudder axis? Does it behaves correctly, i.e. moves only 7 degrees?

 

Thanks!

Yes, FSUIPC can handle that as long as you assign both the rudder axis and the steering axis to "direct to FSUIPC calibration".  Check the "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users" pdf for the details.

But is there a way to make the steering tiller move only the front wheel, and not the rudder? That's how it is in the real aircraft...

I was thinking about creating an invisible front wheel in the "contact points" and assign a joystick command to it...

I finally managed to do it with FSUIPC...

 

Add-ons > FSUIPC > 'Axis Assignment' Tab. 
Check 'Profile specific' if you want to create a specific one for the add-on you're assigning tiler to... Then for the tiler... 

Move the axis (of your hardware) you want to assign tiler to. 
Select 'Send to FS as normal axis'.
Choose 'Steering Set' in the list below. 
Click 'OK'. 

 

Rudder pedals keep moving the steering by 78 degrees, but decreasing as speed increases... At 60 knots, rudder can't move the steering... Well, it's not perfect, but satisfactorily...
