The CJ4 by Working Title is the best Bizjet yet made for either FSX, P3D or FS2020 flight sims, I have been waiting a loong time for someone to bring out a bizjet with the avionics working as good as they have managed...  I haven't stopped flying it since I installed it.

 

The only gripe I have got though is the  'Rudder Authority',  It has almost none.

Sure,  it yaws immediately when you put in full rudder but if you hold in Full Rudder and keep the wings level then it flies on almost the same track with very little rotational moment.

It seems to me that MSFS2020 is not giving the true effect of rudder input as a whole...  with some aircraft a bit better than others of course with differing (size, weight, surface areas etc etc) but the WT CJ4 is terrible in this respect.

If I have to make large directional changes as I'm about land (result of gusts etc) to slide over to the centreline of the runway and I can't bank the wings as I'm close to the ground then the rudder should be able to help...  it doesn't.

 

Anyone else have a view experience of this ?

Also, is there a database of real aircrafts - turning moment - at full rudder deflection (wings level)...  for instance DEG /SEC or MIN or something , in order for that aspect to be modelled more accurately ?

thanks

Have you tried to turn Rudder Assistance ON in the Assistance Menu?. It surely helps in several ways.

Hi Ed,  do you mean the auto-rudder option ?  ....

I had this a while ago, too, Aero, and I have pretty much the same settings as you. I sat behind the aircraft and watched the rudder action as I depressed and held each one, and I remember the rudder centering itself - even though the pedal was still fully depressed. I (think) I fixed it by using theses sensitivity settings - which had been changed by an update.

Yes. I have set mine to ON for two reasons:

(1) Better rudder control (sometimes some aircraft drift too much from the centerline during take-off, example: the Kodiak 100).

(2) To save life for my T.16000M which is well-known for having a flaw mechanical design for the rudder axis (the "twist").
