I am having the same issue. Renders the aircraft un-useable.

Same problem, nose wheel animates but has no effect on direction…

Looks like it’s having a very small effect but is mostly skidding. Would suggest a problem with the physics.

I was only throttling up the right engine, that’s probably why there was some turning.

Same issue. Only rudder steering works.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, but it is not limited to just the A330 and it’s not limited to just starting from cold and dark, it will happen if loading the aircraft in the ready to go state as well.

• The same behavior occurs for iniBuilds A321 and A320neo in MSFS 2024

Same issue in the A321. Can see the nose wheel rotating but it does not steer the plane.

I had this issue on the A320neo v2 as well. I went into the EFB of the plane, not the game, so the one on the side of the pilot/copilot. Went to settings and reversed the rudder. Then the plane turned like a sports car!! lol.

I haven’t been able to fly any of the small planes though. Unable to turn during taxi.

I have the same issue. My nose wheels barely turn at all but the aircraft will not turn overall.

12

I had the same issue on the A330 and A321. One thing I noticed on the A321 in the EFB settings there was an option that says “Rudder controls tiller,” that was set to “No” for me, once I set it to “Yes” it worked great, I haven’t checked yet to see if the same option is there for the A330 as well.

EDIT: Option is also on the A330 and works the same.

Same issue.
If I use my tiller, the aircraft does not turn. nosewheel is turned, bit the plane rolls straight. Only using the rudder can turn the plane as expected…

14

Neither the tiller nor rudder worked for me. I tried both setting them to different axes (as normal), and then tried the same axis (abnormal, but wanted to test it).

The rudder works aerodynamically, but does not turn the nosewheel steering. I also tried the disconnect button on the tiller to no effect.

15

Have any one ever noticed that during takeoff, as the aircraft speeds up, it tends to veer to the right, even though the thrust from both engines is the same，i dont konw if its a bug or due to my setting

Same issue here in the A321. Rudder steering control does very little, nose wheel steering seems to have no input.

Thank you, this did it for me!

Edit: and 20 seconds later I got a CTD. But that’s a whole different story.

Yes, thank you. It’s a setting in the iniBuilds EFB (Rudder Controls Tiller). Even though I could see the nose wheel turning, with this set to No, the aircraft will continue in a straight line. Not sure why this was defaulted to No.
