FlyByWire Simulations | A32NX | Nose wheel steering

[Watsi 2,574]

Hi there,

Current limitations in MSFS prevents us from properly implementing realistic nose wheel steering. However, our stubborn developers have decided to do it anyways!

Nose wheel steering will soon be integrated in the hydraulic system of the development version, and realistic tiller handle + rudder steering will require some taxi practice!

While some inevitable bugs will remain until a fix, we hope you’ll enjoy this new addition! (Coming Soon).

Check out our preview video:

 

(PS: I feel the need to apologize for the music.)

Thanks for this video. Just a quick question. How can this feature be implemented on a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas, that only has one "handle" for rudder? In the video it is said that the tiller works independently of the rudder, so I take it, that for my joystick this feature won't work. Or can it and if so, how to accomplish this? 

Thanks again for all the brilliant work that has been and is done on the FBW A320.

P.S.: Yes, that music is awful 🙂

If I'm up to date: there is a tiller axis in MSFS, but it doesn't work (bug). So we put the tiller steering on the 'engine 4 mixture' axis until this is fixed. You can bind that to your controller. If you don't have a controller to bind it to, you still can use the 'old version' of steering (EFB setting).

Thanks a lot. I'll stick to the "old version" then 🙂

This is really cool and might push me to buy a plug and play tiller device.  Has anyone found a good one?

Will this have an effect on the braking action while turning? When I perform a turn while taxiing speed decreases, so I need around 50% thrust to to recover. Is that normal Airbus behaviour?

Perfect .. Ive got Thrustmaster Pedals for the rudder and it appears from your explanation i can use the twist function of my T1600 joystick for the tiller and map it to that engine 4 mixture (hopefully that doesn't Bork anything important) Will be nice to do the changeover from rudder to tiller after landing.

awesome what you guys put into this plane. thank you so much !

May i ask a offtopic question ? With the dev version of the plane i don't see the MCP floodlight anymore. All other lights and the main flood from the overhead are working so i wonder if there is an issue on my side ?

Tested only the dev version..

Thanks for any help, Carsten

Could you show a screenshot, so we talk about the same?

Super awesome. Great effort and determination.  Can't understand why MSFS keeps ignoring this necessary function to be properly implemented for airliners.

So everytime you fly the DC6B you have to redo the contols?

do you see it ? the Flood light from the MCP is missing.compared to the 2nd picture

 

 

so müsste es doch aussehen :

Aren't there different profiles you can make and swap between? Haven't played in months so I might be wrong.

And you tried the correct knob to turn it on? (center pedestal)

2. Question: do you have any additional (cockpit/texture/livery) mod installed? Try without.
