Rudder recentering while applying full rudder

Same with me after the last update to 1.12.13.0. Rudder works initially, but when holding in a certain position it automatically goes back after a second or so. Weird!!!
Auto-Rudder and all other “Assistance options”/“Piloting” options are turned OFF!!

Worked like a charm until this mandatory update came along!

Same problem here. Since update rudder centres itself when I stop moving the pedals and hold them in position. No assists are on and I can see from the control options pane that the pedal is working correctly. Made my Spitfire unlandable - I mean, I found it difficult before the update but is impossible since update. Getting really sick of constant problems and reseting of options every update! Not happy :frowning:

Hi,

I managed to solve this issue by myself by accident.

I just switched in control option my keyboard assignment between ‘Keyboard profile’ and ‘Default’ and ‘Apply and save’. For some reason my rudder controls came back to normal.

Actually both keyboard assignments work, despite ‘Default’ of keyboard assignment has also rudder assignment.

Hope this will help also somebody else.

Happy flying :slight_smile:


Does anyone know the solution for this? The rudder keeps coming into center position.
I have flown from SU5 and this have never been a problem until now after GOTY update.
*I have Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo controllers and as rudder controller I have Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals. *
I am running simulator on PC.
I have:
- rejoined the controller
- made sure that no other controller has rudder assignments
- took auto rudder off from assistance functions
- tried several planes
- emptied community folder as part of updating GOTY

Please, help!

So… that’s like the mouse too where you can’t move the world map using any profile except the default. I wonder what they broke that caused these problems?

To make it a bit more weird: Finally, I managed to solve the problem for me, even completely without touching my keyboard or joystick assignments. The solution was to repeatedly (!) reset the settings in “Assistance options”/“Piloting”, ignore the warning message, apply, then choose the ‘no assistance’ profile again, and apply again. Did that at least two times in the row, then out of a sudden it worked. Maybe this helps others, too.

ADDENDUM: Today my assistance settings “resetted” themselves, without any intervention from my side. I just saw all the annoying notifications and “navigation aids” again after starting a flight. Now it’s there again :frowning: And this time, my work around didn’t work…

Seems like the “Assistance Options” are quite invasive now… :frowning:

Hi all, I had this problem and did the same checks regarding assignments etc without any luck.
Anyway, I cleared all assignments to the rudder and disconnect all flight controls and turned off computer.
Now, I connected the rudder peddles only and fired up the computer and reassigned the rudder axis and it’s worked fine.
I believe my problem was due to MSFS not picking up the rudder peddles properly.
I had no problem with rudder since.
Hope this helps someone?

This worked for me. Place the Cessna 172 on a runway for takeoff. Go to outside view and check rudder.
If it self centers (on PC) press ESC key select Assistance option. Easy setting is causing the problem. Change to True to life and save. Select go back then resume. check rudder again. It should stay where you want it. If so select Esc button then Assistance option and change to Middle ground settings. Try different settings and save the go back and check rudder and repeat. I don’t want o list all my setting but failure damage is set to easy, Piloting Auto rudder on, checklist on AI radio and stall on. and on and on.

I have tried everything - I can get a temporary fix by unplugging my rudder pedals or joystick and then forcing the defauklt settings - but this fix only lasts one flight. Why is there no word from Microsoft - Asbo here?

This nonsense started after the last update. Rudder has a life of its own takes over plane control on the ground. Can’t deactivate it on the options. Thought was due to VR motion controllers and uninstalled everything to no avail. This update ruined our experience.

Have you checked and make sure there’s only one rudder binding across “all” of your connected hardware? Meaning, you shouldn’t have duplicate rudder controls coming from different hardware. Resetting all your custom profile to bring it back to the default, and modify that default profile instead could help you as well.

Also, have you checked to make sure your assist settings are all Hard/True to Life?

Has Asbo checked that its updates do not inconvenience users?

I have this issue as well.

In the control options menu the rudder axis works correctly, but on the actual aircraft the rudder slides back to center and/or glitches around.

The sim is unuseable in this state because it is impossible to control the aircraft properly.

Win 10 Steam Version
Controller: XBox Pad. (No other controls are mapped to the rudder axis, no other peripherals are connected)
Assistance Options: True to life.

Edit: For some reason the problem went away by itsself and the rudder is now working correctly again. I’m not entirely sure what exactly helped. A restart of the machine (a day later) was definitely involved and I also had switched the assistance options from true to life to a different setting and back before that, but I can’t pinpoint exactly whether those actions actually helped in solving the issue. But atm everything is working normally again.

Have this problem too. Changing the plane is the only temporary solution.

FS2020 is not fit for purpose, having gone from PC based to X Box all was good for a month then it begins…ATC problems one day and now rudder control problems resulting in an unplayable system. Just like the PC version you end up spending more time trying to fix issues, without success, than actually flying. Thankfully Microsoft don’t provide the software for Boeing or Airbus, if they ever did I would never board an aircraft again!

You have two rudder bindings set somewhere and they are fighting each other. I had the same last night with my TPR rudder pedals fighting the rudder axis in my joystick twist grip. Clear the one you don’t want and it should be good.

Kev

Cheers Kev, I have already removed the rudder bindings on the keyboard and X Box controller leaving just my HOTAS 1 with rudder input commands (stick twist) but the problem persists.
Should have stuck to X-Plane!

Even the rudder input commands need to be reviewed. Do you see the white bar when you bind it? and when you twist the stick, does the white bar move directly as well? meaning no centering as well?

If you don’t see the white bar, you might have bound it incorrectly.

Axis Z, with Axis Z+ are different types of bindings.

And definitely make sure your assists are Hard/True to Life on everything.

I just had the same issue. Autorudder is deactivated, but it still seemed to be activated after landing. When I reached a taxiway, the aircraft tried to turn into the taxiway and I could only keep it on the runway using differential breaking. This leads me to believe, that it is not an input binding issue, but the autorudder system.

Having the same issue with the logitech rudder pedals.

I’ve checked the bindings and the rudder Z axis is only bound to the pedals.
I’ve also checked the assistance, its all turned off.

I even recalibrated using the Windows tool and checked the rudder pedals on Xplane and they work fine.

Not sure what else could be wrong here?

Same issue here with Logitech pedals, nothing else binded to anything rudder related. It’s definitely some bug in the sim. It has happened to me now 2 days in a row. Land on the runway, things go haywire. Very annoying. Outside view shows rudder bouncing around uncommanded with ANY rudder input. Full input returns rudder to neutral for some reason. Partial input causes it to flutter about. Impossible to land, taxi, or takeoff. All sensitivity set to defaults, behavior/tests as it should. It’s the sim, not the hardware.

A work around I found that worked at least once for me: cycling the batt/gen off/on made the rudder behave normally again for a time. So I guess now I have to add to my approach checklist to cycle all electrical on the airplane at minimums. Sounds safe enough! :slight_smile:
