How to adjust rotten FS ground steering?

Okay, try here then (I just verified that it is working). Look down to the fourth entry:http://simviation.com/1/browse-Utilities-65-5While there, you might have a look at the first entry for FS_All and CFS Aircraft Airfile Manager V2.2 as well. I've heard it works well, but I haven't used it myself.

hi dear people,can anyone give me a hint about which part of the .cfg file of an aircraft i have to change in terms to affect the way rudder pedals (ground steering) act?as a default, FS has a very unrealistic ground steering dynamics: you press slightly the pedal and the plain responds very late and heavily as if the wires/levers are being made out of rubber. I practically find it impossible to take off without making some strange kinds of zig-zags on the runway. i even start to develope a "skill" for this kind of steering--anticipating and pressing in advance, etc.it is not issue of sensetivity--i've seen some guys design cars for FS where this issue is completely absent: you press the pedal and the response is immediate and light. so it's a configuring problem. i can't understand why FS makers never addressed this issue.thank you for your attention!***

The cloud of dust that blew out of the back of my computer when I clicked on this was pretty impressive! :lol:The contact points are indeed the issue, but I can also attest to the fact that the "lag" behavior can exist in reality. On a taildragger that has springs in the linkage that is exactly how they behave.
