November 29, 2025Nov 29 I've gone back to the A350 (inibuilds in MSFS2024) after parking it in the hangar for a while. The LNAV implementation is really bad. Here with a 25kt crosswind in cruise, the aircraft has to be left wing down (with left aileron AND spoiler) to maintain heading. See here https://ibb.co/6RmDjXqm It should just crab into the wind. It's been like this for half an hour now. Is this correct or should it be crabbing into the wind?

It's been like this for half an hour now. Is this correct or should it be crabbing into the wind? Can you check your flight controls page to see if the rudder is deflected to the right? Is your rudder trim centered? If the left wing is down but the aircraft isn't turning, there has to be either asymmetric thrust, asymmetric drag, or a rudder deflection to the right. Thrust looks to be symmetric, and asymmetric drag would require a relatively exotic failure, so my money would be on the rudder being deflected. (Note also that the "ball" isn't centered -- it's deflected to the left.) If that's the case, the question then would be _why_ the rudder is deflected. This could conceivably be some bug in the A350, but the first thing I'd check is whether you've inadvertently put in rudder trim. Another thing to check would be the calibration of your rudder axis -- maybe it's slightly off-center. Bottom line, though, I can't see how this is caused by the LNAV. If the only thing happening was LNAV commanding a left bank of about 5 degrees, you'd see the airplane turning -- and apparently, that's not the case. Edited November 29, 2025Nov 29 by martinboehme

It can be easy to do this by accident as I think that Q and E are by default bound to rudder left/right. 7800X3D - RTX 5080 - 64GB DDR5 - Dan C4-SFX
November 30, 2025Nov 30 I haven't been siiming for more than 3 weeks now, but last time I used the Ini 350, I surely cruised with crosswind components way over 50kt with no problem at all? Must be something with your control settings... or as other suggested, trim being added (probably rudder trim) through an assignement you're not aware of (?)

November 30, 2025Nov 30 By your slip indicator, looks like you are trimmed with the rudder to the right, hence the aircraft is compensating with left bank and basically flying in a sideslip.

By that you can see that many posters just read the initial post and maybe the first answer and then just write an answer without reading what others have posted further down.
November 30, 2025Nov 30 I frequently take 100+ knots of wind from the sides in Asia and mine works perfectly. In fact, it's probably the most reliable long hauler i have in my fleet along with the 340. Something fishy is going on in there.

So frustrating (to me at least) when someone just repeats what has already been said 7 times. It happens all the time that someone posts something and then 7 other people come and post the EXACT same thing. Is it really that hard to "read" the thread before posting? OK, Sunday morning rant over LOL Have a good day everyone. @BWBriscoe I think it may be rudder related 😉 Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk

I also think it is reasonable to expect this if the thread is not longer than two pages and something like 3 dozen posts. If it gets longer I think it can be excused if people do not read it all.
