ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description
While flying the RBAR aircraft (Edge 540 V2, V3), the slip/skid ball displayed on the ADI appears to behave incorrectly compared to real flight dynamics.

In real aircraft, applying rudder input causes the slip ball to move in the opposite direction of the rudder input due to lateral acceleration and yaw dynamics.

However, in the RBAR Edge 540 V2, V3 aircraft in MSFS, the slip ball moves in the same direction as the rudder input, which is opposite to how it should behave.

Expected behavior (real-world)
If the pilot applies left rudder, the slip ball should move to the right.
If the pilot applies right rudder, the slip ball should move to the left.

This is consistent with real aircraft behavior and standard flight training (“step on the ball”).

Observed behavior in MSFS Edge 540 V2, V3 RBAR aircraft
Applying rudder input causes the slip ball to move toward the same side as the rudder input, suggesting an inversion in the slip indicator logic.

Impact
While this does not prevent flying the aircraft, it creates incorrect feedback for coordination and yaw awareness, especially for pilots accustomed to real-world aerodynamics or other high-fidelity simulators.

  • Edge 540 V2
