I have not bought this yet, but one thing I have noticed on every single stream I have been watching is how twitchy the aircraft is when taxiing.  The left/right movements are immersion killers.  Why are people not dampening  the twitchy steering with control curves?

That’s one of the first things I did. I reduced rudder axis sensitivity to -60%.

Yeah it is ted sensitive with rudders and nose wheel steering, maybe bit too sensitive - There are a lot of reports regarding this on their discord channel and developers themselves have acknowledged this issue. From what I understand fix in the work along with fixes to other bits and bobs like odd throttle behaviour and VNAV improvements. I'm surprised that this was not picked up by streamers earlier - this is exact reason why I don't bother watching them, Some of them don't even know the basics stuff.

My MFG Crosswind V3 rudder pedals work perfectly with this plane without the need for any tweaks. No sensitivity issues on my end.

This is pretty fine working for me, the left/right movements are not very strong and are easy for me to keep.

I only thought it at the start because I noticed it positively. You don`t see everything well in front of a video because People could do not everything as expected..

Self doeing is the best, i would say !

cheers 😉

So it requires $350 rudder pedals for non-twitchy operation , hmmm....

I doubt it. I am sure there are ways to get other pedals to work correctly as well.

To the people who are having issues with rudder sensitivity - do you guys calibrate your pedals outside of the sim with software from the manufacturer?

No it dosen't, i do ti with a simple joystick and it works beautiful for me..

cheers 😉

It does feel an awful lot better if you enable the tiller option, but even if you don't, this is one aircraft where "twitchy" isn't the right word.  I agree that the pedals are too sensitive, but even then, the feel isn't twitchy, there's still inertia behind the yaw. The rudder is simply more powerful than it ought to be.  A bit of extremity dead zone, without the need to touch reactivity or anything else, would fix this in 5 seconds if it bothered you enough.

Put it this way: for comparison purposes, it handles and taxis much better than the PMDG NG.
