Since the last update when I start from Cold & Dark the nose wheel does not turn right and left, only if I start in TAXI mode the pedals work and make it turn
make sure gust lock is off
IRL , gust lock doesn’t lock rudder …
GUST LOCK SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
• A gust lock system is provided to protect the roll and pitch controls on ground.
This system includes:
• an elevator mechanical locking device,
• and an aileron electro-mechanical locking device.
• To enable gust lock system engagement, the ailerons must be centered and the control
column positionned slightly forward.
• An hydraulic damper installed between the rudder and the vertical stabilizer protects
in the same way the rudder.
• When gust lock lever is set to ON position, the power levers travel is slightly
limited below FI (Flight Idle).
He unlocked the Gust lock at the front of the rod and did not free the wheel of the nose
I don’t really understand what you mean, but there is no relationship between NWS , rudder and gust lock.
I wonder if this is the same issue as several other bugs, eg ATR 42/72 No blue or green HYD systems or ACW 1 or 2, that since the update the NP% is too low to run the hydraulics when at idle, and the steering requires the hydraulics.
As i been following this i just tried a cold and dark start i have no hydraulic issues, no problems taxing and no warning on mfd
and yes Gust lock doesnt make a difference for rudder
dont know if this helps, i had this issue, turned off nose wheel steering. ta-dah! cheers, captc
I had the same problem. Turns out I was still in pushback mode. I thought I had disconnected but had not. Once I terminated push back, I could steer. User Error!!
Hi
I have the same issue. No nose wheel steering. Sometimes the NWS works for a couple of minutes then no more response… I tried from cold and dark state, nothing works at all. I tried with and without NWS axis assigned. Same issue. Just made a flight in MSFS 2024, and everything goes well. But in MSFS 2020 I had this issue every time.
I ask me if it could be related with an excessive taxiing speed? As some times I can steer it, but then, there is no more response from the nose wheels.
I finally managed to find why, I had some troubles. In fact, I had 2 bindings on the same buton on my joystick, and one is named ‘SET NOSE WHEEL STEERING TO LIMIT’, as soon as I pushed the trigger on the joystick, there was no more NWS… And it’s impossible to revert it. As soon as I unbinded this function, there was no more issue with the NWS. Ckech out if you have it binded to any button on your joystick or else, it could be that it come from it.
For example the Tornado from Indiafoxtecho uses this function. So be carefull on the keybinding as it could interfere with the ATR72/42
