This keeps happening to me as well! Thinking i’m going crazy
After hours of troubleshooting, I’ve been able to deduce its weather related I think? When I turn live weather off, or use the “Clear Skies preset” aircraft respond to normal rudder input, and don’t require continued input to keep aircraft centered straight.
When using Aircraft like FBW A20N there is no hope. Aerosoft CRJ and Asobo A20N can be corrected with Auto Rudder.
-I have tried using 3 different controllers. Problem remains the same each time.
-Tried to adjust sensitivity and neutral bar.
-No other key bindings are assigned to rudder input (using shared Axis rudder twist for control)
-Have tried mapping button for “nose wheel turning” and separating rudder twist from tiller in FBW A20N, still no luck.
I understand its normal to have some swing, especially with weather. but were talking winds 120@03 Kts, and aircraft needing full rudder input by VR to stay aligned. Almost if I correct drift using right rudder, it then drifts left twice as much.
When the Auto-Rudder setting is On, the effect of crosswinds disappears.
By rewriting Flight_model.cfg, you can remove the effect of crosswinds (on ground) when Auto-Rudder is Off.
Depending on the vertical tail and other settings in the aircraft data, some aircraft data will be strongly affected by crosswinds, while others will not be affected at all.
Open Flight_model.cfg,
[FLIGHT_TUNING]
ground_crosswind_effect_max_speed = 400
ground_crosswind_effect_zero_speed = 300
300 and 400 = The unit is ft/s. Multiply by 0.592 to get the knots.
With the above value, the influence of the wind will disappear up to 177kt.
If set to 150/400, crosswind effects start to appear at 88kts.
This setting is only available on the ground and will be affected by crosswinds after takeoff.
Thank you TaruTaru113! This fixed and kept the aircraft straight while taking off/taxing. However as soon as I rotate the aircraft just violently thrust to one side. I just wish I knew why it was so exaggerated. Attached a video clip. Winds are a bit stronger in this video. but I still feel its exaggerated.
(might need to switch quality to HD, video not doing it automatically)
The above parameters are valid only on the ground, so as soon as you rotate, you will be swept away by the crosswind.
The impact seems to vary depending on the Flight model of each aircraft data.
Some aircraft cannot take off properly even with 1 knot of wind from the side.
Crab landing will not be possible without the influence of crosswinds.
If you enable Auto-Rudder assist, there will be no crosswind effect.
hi! sorry for two years long reply. I got it to work. i configured the yoke. i encountered same problem when using my Logitech g923 pedal but fixed the problem by re programming the pedal in the settigns.
