ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Rudder suddenly applies right rudder during flight.,

Did you experience this issue before you joined the Beta?
no

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Flying autopilot on, rudder suddenly applies
2

Have you checked to see if there is any binding conflicts?

3

I’m not seeing any rudder spikes, with AP on or off.

@aceridgey Is this in any particular plane or any you have tested?

When you say the rudder suddenly applies, have you observed the rudder deflect, or maybe the rudder pedals, specifically? The reason I ask is there is sometimes a dramatic shift in weather, and this can cause the AP to compensate almost immediately, causing your view to shift around. You can cause this to happen on demand if you like by switching between live weather, and any of the presets. If the different is dramatic enough you will see the plane lurch around.

Just finished a 2.5 hours flight and did not encounter any rudder issues.
I would suspect an issue with your key bindings.

Edit: Anyway more info would be helpful, which aircraft, weather settings and if it happens on AP when flying straight or maybe after a steep turn. Sometimes AP can begin chasing/oscilating, if your overall configuration is not ideal.

From the sounds of things I don’t think it’s the result of an unexpected key bind. Like “I just flipped the switch for the landing lights, and I’m suddenly full right rudder!”.

If they are on AP, not touching the controls, then I’m guessing a sudden, dramatic shift in weather.

Thanks for the reply guys!

I will keep testing. So far it was the first flight after new update so I’ll keep testing.

That’s my guess too, but if the OP has jitter or a fault with their peripherals, that could also cause the rudder to suddenly apply full right.

@aceridgey What peripherals do you use and have you checked the rudder axis for faults?

Topic moved to User Support Hub > Hardware & Peripherals because the issue almost certainly does not pertain to the SU3 Beta.
