That is just guessing, but nevermind, the issue/Bug is that the plane steering resets when reaching 100%, lets not go off-topic.
Even at 5kts the plane will suffer this issue.
Agreed, that’s probably a bug
What I meant is, slowing down to under 5 Kts on for almost every turn, increases the taxi duration considerably.
Having to slow down under 5 Kts for turns even when moderately loaded isn’t accurate.
According both the Boeing 737 and 747 FCTM (don’t have the Boeing 787 FCTM):
- For turn angles greater than those typically required for high speed runway turn-offs (which is usually around 45 degrees to my knowledge): 10 kts or lower.
- Then for maximum radius turning techniques it shows this (5 to 10 kts):
Depending on what turning angles we are talking about, slowing down to 5 to 10 kts is not unrealistic.
To me it seems speed is not related to the issue with the 787, only too much rudder will cause it regardless of speed.
If you push the rudder too far it will stop, but if you do it carefully you can take corners even at high speed.
Hopefully Asobo will fix this.
Exactly, even if you go super slot, eg5kts, the plane won’t turn at 100% rudder and will turn very slightly at smaller rates.
There is definitely an issue. If I remember correctly the issue was “solved” in patch 2, but it came back in patch 3 or so to stay.
IRL the rudder pedals turn the nose wheel 7 degrees either side of centre. The tiller turns the wheel darn closee to 90 but no quite.
Asobo have tried to deal with this by making it so when going fast it behaves like rudder pedals but when going slow it behaves like a tiller. Their threshold is far too slow IMHO.
Also when you turn the wheel full deflection the sircraft will slow to a stop without power. this is also the case IRL.
Do you possibly have a null zone set at the extrema of your rudder axis? Maybe even in windows or any external calibration tool? In consequence it could mean that the sim doesn’t recognize any axis deflection anymore and turn the wheel straight.
The 787 is a default plane from Asobo - where do you see it was made from a questionable 3rd party?
This has been documented and ticketed a few times. As we said, this issue has been there since day 1. Anyone who flies the 787 regularly in MSFS knows this.
It’s been brought up almost every dev q&a and they just ignore it. Also when asked why they won’t allow a competent 3rd party to improve upon the 787, they just ignore that question too.
No. The nosewheel is fully deflected when the 787 stops turning.
okay.. then it seems to be a cfg (contact points) problem that is probably encrypted
There are a lot of problems. If you are taxiing with the CG close to the aft limit, the 787 doesn’t turn at all, at no speed, regardless of the steering angle.
No, the 787 is the only plane with this problem. If it was some joystick calibration issue it would happen in every plane.
If i open a thread in Bugs and Issues forum to vote this, will the moderators close it being the 787 third party?
You’ll have to taxi slower as you turn especially sharp turns
I can’t offer any reasons as to why it does it or why it’s not fixed, but I find using about 20% thrust and persistent braking (like tapping it off and on) while turning works pretty well enough.
Okay so.. little real world experience here but I have worked on F18’s and the like which have an extreme turning radius due to us doing ship board operations.
I have a feeling I know why it’s the way it is and the fact of the matter is you never want to go FULL deflection with an aircraft with nose wheel steering because if you do the nose wheel will go full 90 degrees and it will stop as it’s pushing forward against the treads of the wheels. This is why what you want to do is use differential braking and around 75 percent to 85 percent turning deflection coupled with lower speeds.
You never go full deflection ESPECIALLY with a aircraft of this size and length. First off your Greece monkeys are going to want to murder you for destroying some perfectly good tires and basically bald spotting them.
So as said before the best way to handle it is slow speed , differential braking, you can also utilize the engines to help advancing the #1 slightly and leaving #2 idle for right hand turns or vice versa for left hand turns. However I’d try to focus on differential braking and 80-90 rudder Input around 5 - 10 knot turns
I’m thinking what you say has lots of sense. What i don’t get is why the 787 would be the ONLY plane of the whole pack that presents this behaviour when going full deflection. All the rest turns without issues with 100% rudder.
