Ok good to know. Thanks.
Part of the problem is the T. Flight Hotas twist rudder setup. It is hard to get precision rudder because it is spring loaded.
Iām also using a twist grip joystick.
(Much better IMO than cheap sticky low res plastic rudder pedals)
If it wouldnāt be self centering, rudder (or any other flight control) control would be next to impossible.
To achieve the required precise control Iām using -33% sensitivity on the elevator, aileron & rudder axis.
Iāve seen the -33% with some others. Unfortunately on Xbox it will not currently save your sensitivity settings. When ever you turn the sim off it resets. But I will try that setting out. Thanks
Are you saving the sensitivity settings as a new profile?
Interesting. I use an old Sidewinder with a twist. Sensitivities at 0%. Like the linear. I can just pressure the stick for fine control. Each to their own. 
It would be next to impossible to fly e.g. the Extra with 0% with my Gladiator NXT or T16000M.
The old SW is 10 bit optical. I will be using it to parry the worms when the lid gets put on.

Yes, itās a known bug only affecting Xbox.

I should say, itās a Xbox and T Flight Hotas known issue. Not sure if itās affecting other models. And I hear you on the spring loading and youāre right, it wouldnāt work without it. The Hotas on twist rudder is a bit much though, it takes a good bit it of pressure and easing back on it is thought because it literally wants to spring back to home position with some authority.

On releasing the parking brake, the throttle goes fidgety from idle to full throttle and back, a couple times per second. If I try to maneuver down the taxiway, the rudder fidgets left and right at first, then steers me off into the trees, with my controls barely able to suggest anything otherwise. If I start out in the sky and go in for a landing, once I touch down, the throttle rips and without wanting to, I go flying again. If I land and cut the power, then trying to taxi, the rudder sends me off into the trees. this is not a simulator. It is a game to see if i can avoid the trees and not much else. Ive got a lot of money invested in my computer, several airplanes, and several sceneries in the hopes that one day i might have an enjoyable experience. But it looks like i might have to wait a couple more years to give them enough time to work out some of these bugs. I still get several ctds to boot.

Can you post screenshots of your bindings? Iād like to see what you have your throttle, and rudder bound to.
Your issue is due to ā ā ā ā ā ā tolerances of the hotas as well as possibly a bad (wobbly) potentiometer. Look it up on YouTube, itās fairly easy to fix if it keeps happening.
Looks useful. Iāll try it.
The Situation:
-
Goto Control Options>Flight Control Surfaces>Primary Control Surfaces>Rudder Axis
Turn the rudders on my HOTAS and watch the control bar response below
The response indicated by the bar graph is smooth and steady - no jittering or self-centering indicated. This indicates mechanically the outputs are smooth and steady. If the HOTAS was mechanically at fault the bar graph would show erratic behavior as does the rudder itself. -
During taxing (not when in the air) when turning rudder left or right the rudder responds but erratically and constantly tries to center itself. Even this behavior is erratic and not constant.
-
Finally I used SPADX to set the rudder control and get the same erratic behavior as when I have SPADX completely turned off.
-
The comments about air pushing my rudder do not make sense as no wind is going to be stronger than the speed of air while flying and yet my rudder controls are very smooth and consistent during flight.
Same thing for me except that I do have the erratic behavior in the control options (sensitivity) panel as well.
Update: I fixed the erratic behavior by opening the Hotas 1 joystick and moving the corresponding potentiometer (rudder axis) back and forth. This seems to clean the resistance layer of the potentiometer. There are a couple of youtube videos around describing the problem and how to open the Hotas 1 joystick grip.
And in The Air, It seems that Asobo tried to introduce a new random variable into the weather model, but seems it leaked into the flight model, but some of us, who are very sensitive engineers can realize this because the weather model is not perfect, itās much less perfect.
Solutions might be very easy, but take time.
The fix for me was to turn off assisted take off and landing. Never had it ever again
Where in setting do I go for that ?
Canāt believe this STILL hasnāt been fixed. Totally ruins the immersion for me. FS2004 and FSX/P3D have better flight dynamics compared to this āgameā.
They really should rename this Microsoft Earth Simulator. Great views - pity about the aircraft.
