The C172 with Garmin 1000 and the DA 40 NG. Perhaps they don’t have a yaw damper, I am just trying to activate what is shown on the Garmin click fields. I will check on my PC msfs 2024 if the yaw damper activates and update here in a while. I never really flew the DA40. Will check later.
Edit - It might be hard for other users to replicate on PS5 as not many seem to be reporting here.
I think it is the FD (Flight Director) that activates automatically when activating the autopilot on the C172. The C208 as a Yaw Dumper but don’t think lighter aircraft have one.
So I am in my PC version now.
The C172 does not even have a yaw button !
Nonetheless, I could not get ALt to hold at a set altitude using FLC. It would just carry on climbing. If I activated the heading mode, it would bounce all over the flight path. It was actually more stable without any AP. Bearing in mind using a controller and mouse is difficult enough without this issue. There are simply no Hotas 4’s to be had. Sold out totally and I see a post on Facebook says they will only be back in stock in “Early 2026”!
So my sense is that this situation will end up putting some folk off playing this sim.
C172 in PC version, I don’t know how to do that because they are not on the same screen, nor is that screen connected to a PC. I will try with a phone and email but it wont be clear.
- no yaw damper but there is one in the DA40
