PMDG 737 NG roll radius

Featured Replies

Hello to all,

my question: how can I reduce the roll radius for the PMDG 737 NG? To make a 360° on the ground, I need a football field to turn around!

thank you in advance

Eugen

Perhaps there is something not set up correctly with your hardware (if you have any for nose wheel steering) or other related settings. I use my rudder pedals for nose wheel steering and can do a pretty tight 360 almost on the spot.

Hi Ryan,

I forgot to mention that I have no rudder pedals. Control is via Saitek X 52 pro.
Sorry, but thank you for your answer.

I was thinking of a change in the aircraft. cfg. E.g. on a BB58 you can change the value of "Steer Angle" 40 to 90. Then you can turn on the spot.
Does anyone know here in the forum where I can make this change with the PMDG 737?

I wouldn't change anything in the cfg files if I were you. Check your sim's joystick settings for your joystick on the calibration page. Perhaps some sensitivity/null zone sliders are not set up correctly and preventing you from turning the tiller in the aircraft all the way. Also, check your joystick's own control program if it has one.

This does not seem to be a problem with the addon.

Hi

This is certainly a possibility that I have considered so well. Will test that. However, I then have to readjust the settings for each aircraft. That is not very usefull.

Ditto Ryan's comments.  The NGX will easily make a 180 on a runway with out a need to find a football field to turn around.  Do not make changes to the configurations files, the PMDG processes are mostly outside the box and you cannot anticipate the impact of any change you make.

After a few attempts, I can report a significant improvement. I set the slider for the null zone of the rudder axis to zero and I'am very happy with it.
Thank you for your quick help.
