Ground Rudder Travel

[Mijitman]

I've looked through the other topics and no seems to have raised this so maybe it's only me.

When taxiing around on the ground, I have found that the nose wheel steering is very limited. Autorudder is off, I am not working with physical pedals. In the real Cessna without using toe brakes you can turn quite effectively at low speed, but in this sim I'm getting incredibly large turning radiuses, even at low speeds. Is this more a factor of it being a 172R? I have never flown that type so I don't know.

Thank you!

You are not alone

I am sure they are busy reproducing errors trying to come up with answers for all.

I can't make the turn from taxiway to align on the runway without using the brakes. The Cessna rudder pedals doesn't have a direct connection to the Nose gear, there's a spring system, so it's not as effective as a direct conection, but it's also nowhere this hard to make a simple 90 degrees turn. A2A should take a look into that I think too.

Hi,

got the same issue here as well.
Cannot make any turn without using the toe brakes.

I use the saitek cessna rudder pedals configured by FSUIPC.

Thanks for help

I have trouble taxing as well. There is definitely something wrong. 172 is not hard aircraft to taxi, just need to tap the brakes few times.

It seems to be behaving accurately to me.

A few suggestions:
Before moving the pedals let the plane roll forward a few inches.
Once rolling give light taps on the brake on the side you are turning into to tighten the turn.
give a little up elevator to lighten the load on the nosewheel.

Generally, I find that making a 90 degree turn with the nosewheel tracing a circle with a radius smaller than 20 feet is going to require gentle taps on the brakes.

The default 172 had way way way too effective steering.
