A2A Cessna 182 ground handling

[IMAGRANDPA2 0]

Hey guys,

I am onto this issue again! A couple years ago I had this plane and this issue. I have been away from things for awhile but I just ordered their newest version of the 182 for P3D v.4  and I have the same frigging problem. I think I solved it way back  when but of course I cant remember how One complication was/is that I cant use my legs so use auto rudder. Nevertheless I did get ground steering through the yoke but like I said, I do not recall the solution. I vaguely recall someone suggesting an update to 4.2 might do the trick but I have not gone down that again, yet.. If you have any suggestions please pass them along. A2A has been of no help!

Thanks,

Eric

If I understand your problem:

The 182 doesn't have directly linked nosewheel steering (in real life). It is more of a bungie arrangement. What you have to do is press the rudder pedal down and at the same time apply the brake to that side. This will eventually get you turning.

I recall my first time flying a 182 and was surprised to find this to be the case. Once you're used to it, no big deal.

I hope I'm understanding your question...

Hi Ritchie,

Thanks for your thoughts. I understand the steering mechanics of a real world 182.  My situation precludes that arrangement in the sim but I know that at some point in the past I was able to achieve ground steering through the yoke and using autorudder. Totally unrealistic but it kept me out of the grass.

Best,

Eric

Do you use EZDok? If you do, either try updating it to the latest version, or disable fuselage shakes.

No, never did use EZDOC but thanks for the suggestion.
