This afternoon, I deleted the previous version (1.4.0) from Aeroplane Heaven Supermarine Spitfire Mk1 for MSFS 2020 on the PC and installed the new version 1.5.0 When to taxiing from the parking place to the runway, I noticed, that when I wanted to turn, the rudder almost centered. Also, the left wheelbrake lets the right wheel brake and vice versa.
I deleted rolling cache and restarted MSFS. then I activated anew the rolling cache. Then when I clicked on the Fly button, MSFS went CTD.
I deleted the plane, downloaded it totally anew and - alas - experienced above situation again.
Anyone same experience?
I have yet to try (waiting for the update on ORBX), but the modelling changed (you should check out the mega thread (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/released-aeroplane-heaven-spitfire-mk1/) for any discussions about it.
The Spitfire does not have brake pedals, it has rudder and a single brake, it has some form of differential braking, this is done by pulling the main brake and then deflecting how much pressure is applied by the rudder pedals.
Have you tried pulling the brake and then deflecting with the pedals? (this is how the real aircraft works) and I believe this is how its now modelled (until enough air is over the rudder to actually do anything useful).
I’m honestly not sure that the differential braking was ever implemented in the MSFS2020 Spit’s.
Certainly neither the FlyingIron MkIX or AH MkI model the hydraulic guage.
The DCS Spit does it. 1 brake (axis lever on joystick) + pedal left or right has a differential braking action that can be felt and that is reflected in the hydraulics pressure guage to the left on the dash.

Thats how it should work yes (lets be honest, DCS just is perfect).
Direct link to what developer said about the new system: [RELEASED] Aeroplane Heaven Spitfire Mk1 - #388 by FeasibleEight90 and also a few posts up on that.
Yes. I’m in love with the DCS warbirds
The AH Spitfire Mk1a has differential braking as described. If you check the pneumatic gauge you will see the needles rise at different rates depending on the direction applied by rudder. If you just don’t want differential braking and rather just steer by rudder, you can by clicking on the gauge glass of the pneumatic gauge.
Something has broken oiur code in SU6 so for now, if you have a CDT issue, load up the flight with a different aeroplane and then switch to the Spitfire. We will be issuing another update once we have figured out what is happening.
Thank you. Yes, so I understand now. Seems I used the wrong term. When I want to turn while taxiing, I turn the rudder. But now with v. 1.5.0 the rudder all by itself, snaps back to the center position. And the plane continue straight ahead.
But the biggest problem for me is that this plane now causes CTD.

Confirm CTD pressing fly button with V1.5 from simmarket
Aeroplane Heaven knows it and is looking to find a solution.
I have version 1.5.3 (from Orbx) and there also the rudder snaps back until the plane starts moving. Is there a solution?

Don’t use the rudder, but move the joystick to the left of right. You see the flaps moving and the plane turning. 
Using the joystick doesn’t work. With the stick I only move aileron and elevator. Today I received version 1.5.1 and this problem isn’t solved. I also checked for other rudder commands of my hardware, but all seems correct.
Get an answer from Aeroplane Heaven. You can click on the brakes gauge to activate/deactivate the differential braking.

problem from first version, just impossible to taxi by normal way, rudder go to center after use brakes or without, just some time, please do something with this, let disable everything moves if pilot don’t, no clicking switchers sound, no move rudder to center, if possible no move mixture when engine start, i don’t see flickering glass patch any more, but rudder problem on the ground and clicking something in the air… fix it please
p.s. and change please prop spin animation in p-51 and spitfire is ridiculous see this multiangle circle in 2022
Taxiing the early Spitfires.
There is a brake handle on the yoke.
You must bind a Quadrant axis to this, or a slider on your HOTAS Stick if you are lucky to have one.
You give the motor some revs to blow air by the tailplane while holding the brake handle full.
When you slowly release the, the taillane with some rudder will weathervane in the prop’s wind.
I have problems with the Aeroplane Heaven Spitfire’s rudder.
It works when the pedal is moving. When the pedal stops moving, the rudder centres.
The cure for this is to ‘Tread the pedals’. While accelerating to take off, and during landing, tread the pedas like you are on a bike pedaling fast.
It is the average of the movement where the nose points.
In a side wind, normal planes need this technique.
