Cessna 172 steering on ground impossible

Yeah, and of course the steam gauge version was what I used to test it out. I’ll need to try again with the G1000. Thanks again for the confirmation. Back to the point for the person to which I was responding, I wouldn’t write this off just yet - there have been important developments that you may have not yet touched upon.

Thanks. I will return to MSFS to see if it gets fixed. I am not holding my breath though. Been doing so for years. The latest update has my plane doing the roll and nose dive to the right when activating AP… which happened years ago and got fixed. They fix one thing and another breaks. SMH. lol

Always remember the steam gauge Cessna 172 is in the Deluxe and Premium packs, it’s not one of the stock sim planes.

So it never gets the early new flight model setting tests. :slight_smile:

Which considering the two 172 should only have differences on the dashboard is just odd.

Latest SU 15 May31. PC. I don’t see any effect of crosswind today, on the 172. Steering no problems at all. In fact I expect and want this since I set up to 24kts crosswind!

@SeaCelery810439 Thanks for checking it out on your end. But, I have to ask… Under settings Assistance Options>Piloting>Auto Rudder… I bet that’s turned on. I got excited thinking maybe they fixed it, so I just tried both 172 variants. Without auto rudder (I don’t use this because I am training and trying to get used to using pedals), It still shoots into the 10kt quartering wind.

Oh OK yes I use autorudder this month because I am away from home and only have one joystick, no mouse and of course no pedals. I will set up some keys for manual rudder and see what happens.

At home a while back, SU14, I noticed the DC3 could not taxi if I used real world weather and it was less than 10 knots at the time.

Store version, SU15 on PC. I set up manual rudder control on keyboard and turned off autorudder, then set crosswind of 13kt on the beam, flying C172 out of KPAO which is a fairly narrow runway. Yes I see the Xwind effect, it guess it is about right and I was able to give enough rudder to counteract it and with practice keep on runway during take-off. Landing was much more difficult (ya think?) but after 5 tries a made it with only a small excursion off the tarmac and back on. Used lots of counter-rudder and my bank angle on approach was probably about 10 to 15 degrees to keep on line with runway.

That was using keys to increment rudder angle. Pretty sure it will be a lot more fun once I get home and can assign my second joystick X-axis to the rudder.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes.

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

No ground steering for the 172 or any other a/c in sim, default or add-on. I have followed all recommended MSFS steps to return sim to vanilla/as-built state, steering response does not return.
