Rudder not working - Help !

Post by Gabe777 »

Calibrated with FSUIPC as per normal. All other a/c work fine.

No failures, no damage.... switched off. Rudder trim works fine as do all other axis.

WT heck ?

Sorry to ask this as you say all other planes work fine. However, it sounds like Auto Rudder is turned on :?:

Good Luck

Yes of course auto rudder is on..... I have it on for all my GAs as I don't have rudder pedals.

This shouldn't make any difference at all.

All my other addons, including A2A, still afford plenty of deflection in rudder using my twist stick.

There is zero movement in the rudder. But rudder trim works fine...... go figure.

Mind you, I used my other A2A GAs in FSX. I guess it is possible things are different in P3D..... but I doubt it, as many people use auto rudder. How do steer the thing on the ground without rudder ? I hardly think A2A would make it compulsory to disable auto rudder in order to use their addons.

Found a similar post elsewhere, and it may be a FSUIPC issue.

Will take a look tomorrow, thnx.

I infer that you are using P3D. If you are using P3D v4.2 then you need to apply the latest A2A Accusim update.

Yes, just bought the Comanche a few days ago.

P3D, yes.... it is in my sig.

As I say, it looks like FSUIPC is the culprit .... to do with "Per aircraft" configurations.... as per here:

Did you download and apply the latest update? It doesn't matter when you purchased the Comanche, the download is always v1.0

Your sig does not say if you are running P3Dv4.2. The update has a fix for steering for P3Dv4.2
