So some are complaining to make it less realistic... jeez O, You couldn't make it up lol.

I think the main problem with Fenix is a more "realistic" simulation that more expensive hardware is required than just the  average normal user (like me) have to make it enjoyable, simply many will struggle even V1sim said it. They use 1000$+ controllers to tweak their FM, not good for the average user. Is it good or bad?

I have pedals which I use for the rudder and a twistable joystick which I use as the steering tiller. I don't think that's an unusual or extravagant setup 🙂

Personally have no problem using the Airbus TCA sidestick and Thrustmaster rudder pedals. I have a separate movement switch on the throttle to control the tiller which seems to be improved more on the PMDG since the last update.

Um negative is that is not a proper setup for a A320 but if if works for you that is happy to see. I have a similar setup to make it work also.👍

I think you missed my point people need to tweak their controllers (don't need expensive ones) to make it workable to a specific aircraft instead jumping in using default setting with problems than quick to jump on the forums to complain about it and quick to jump ship. Just take time to tweak the controllers to your satisfaction.

So far, I hate it. Been flying this aircraft for a couple of years, Now you can't even taxi it using the rudder only, if you want to make a turn. Back to the 737. 

Hmmm...why is that Bob? I mean, taxi is better IMO, really better. Only as described...SL have more energy or load more energy on landing and I think closing thrust between 30-20 should be ok....Other then that that's what I found as different.

Got you now. It really is that simple.

To me really "realistic"...(not sure why I write "realistic" since I have no clue what realistic means in real Airbus ops...LOL). But it feels "heavier" and more traction on taxi and take off... That's my "realistic" take if I am not mistaken.

And BTW....Only thing that I don't like and I found useful on previous VS is that there is no more Left and Right choice on my iPad EFB MCDU.... He mentioned that is "using lots of space..." not sure where and how...But I really liked that feature. Wonder if that could become an option in the future.....

Does anyone know how to log on their discord? It asks me to "claim" account? Or better yet if someone has an answer.....I have installed A321 2ACT and unable to load 51100 Lbs of fuel....Clearly, based on the profile he created, 2 ACT would take that much to make a long trip....So now I am bit confused...LOL

I guess you didn't  read the entire thread, where I posted that there had been a change in the ground steering in this latest update, compared to the way it has worked for the last couple of years. Soo the method I have used in all my other aircraft, suddenly didn't work anymore with the Fenix.

Sorry Bob I did...But that's ok...Sorry to bother...My comment was related to taxi and ground handling as well as changes that I noticed. But you didn't bother reading it.

 

Cheers

If you have a joystick that can twist, setting that as the tiller is probably the best option. I use that in all aircraft that have NWS and haven't looked back.

Some what related but not-related to the OPs issue, I find taxiing a lot better in this update.

I have both nose-wheel steering and rudder on the same old Cessna Trim Wheel and it works quite well with the sensitivity set up as it is.  I don't have much room under my desk to pedals so this is the best I can do right now and it works.
