I've got the Thrustmaster Airbus sidestick and have noticed it is very sluggish turning the nose gear when I twist it. In the controls section I can see it deflecting full both ways on the Z axis and it does move the rudder. But I still get very limited nose gear movement (tried on the default A320 and 787).

Thanks

Hi, sorry any thoughts on the above?

Also, when I reduce my throttle to idle (using Saitek PRO Flight Yoke System) it cuts the engines out.

Any help on this would be great, thanks.

My Virpil / VKB gear is just as precise as always after SU5.

When looking in the control mappings you should see a white bar representing the current axis input. Does that look normal? I would try a calibration of the stick anyway with your description.

How do I calibrate?

You can do it in Windows - like this: https://www.softwareok.com/?page=Windows/10/Hardware/4

More advanced controllers have their own calibration software and I guess you can do it in the Thrustmaster software as well. Have a look at this thread that talks about how to calibrate the Thrustmaster Throttle:

Nosewheel steering is sluggish in the RW.  To turn more tightly on the ground you need to use differential braking.

My stick's twist grip used to turn the aircraft quute sharply on the ground but rudder was very sensitive.  Turning the rudder sensitivity down obviously affected nose wheel sensitivity.

On a taildragger there is no nosewheel steering so you you have to use differential brakes (although you use rudder steeeing if you are going fast enough)
