TBM 930 - directional control on touchdown

Featured Replies

Hi All 

 

I am struggling with keeping my TBM on centreline after touch down.

As soon as the aircraft touches the runway it veers to the left and then as I apply right rudder it veers the other way and I use up most of the pavement before I finally get the thing back on centreline

I have checked my Pedal sensitivity for the rudder but hasn't cured it

 

Sensitivity + 50% / -50%

Deadzone 10%

Any tips welcomed please 

 

Good afternoon

I have flown the TBM9 (with the known MODS) several times ( over 80 flights this year) and have landed in all sort of runways, being this a highly versatile aircraft.

Although some comment that the sim is broken (as often one reads here), alll I can say is that in my case I have no issue maintaining the aircraft reasonably centered upon touch-down.

I always land with the device that prevents in-take of particles in the turbine "ON", which makes the plane feel with a bit more of air friction, but I doubt this is the contributing factor here. 

And, I haven't used the pedals for some time ... I only use Thrustmaster T16000 joystick (mostly for rudder effect)... and I don't apply the breaks.... not until the ground speed is slow. However, I  have used ocassionally the reverse thrust / And finally, I land slow with full flaps..

There is an acknowledge bug but another part of the problem is where you are looking over the nose.  I had the same issue in real life training.  This video sums it up really well:

In MSFS I can keep it pretty straight even with a strong crosswind even.

Really good video there.  Another tip specific to sims?  Think about alignment with the monitor(s).  Are you centered on your primary monitor when in your seating position with the vertical cockpit in view on the screen?  Or are you offset to the left for more correct perspective?
