1.04

Brief description of the issue:

When applying either left or right rudder, the “ball” moves in the same direction as the rudder input.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Level flight


Full left rudder applied

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

From level flight, apply either full left or full right rudder. You should see the turn slip indicator move in the same direction, instead of the opposite.

One possible explanation is this instrument doesn’t work like others, and works in the reverse of how it works in any other plane I have flown in MSFS, which may or may not be IRL behaviour!

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

N/A

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I noted similar confusing behavior.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

That is the turn rate indicator. The slip-skid ball is the tiny little thing on the bezel just below. The rate indicator is behaving properly AFAIK.

I am filing a separate ticket about the ball because it’s too small to read properly and colored the same as the background.

Thanks, I need to have a look again in that case.

You mean this?

If so, that makes sense as its all the way to the right. And, yes, that is difficult to see clearly. I hadn’t even spotted it was moving. Colouring that ball green, or yellow would greatly help its visibility. That and making it bigger since there is so much space under it.

It looks much clearer on a black background, as this image shows.
