Significant yawing after landing 787 after 1.33.7.0 update

Excellent news! Hopefully it can be released soon! Thanks WT team!

Good news! I too noticed the plane almost taking off again after a smooth touchdown.

Actually had the plane bucking like a bull tonight. This was prior to landing though, whilst in the arrival pattern.

It was quite a sad sight. :frowning:

Interesting. For me, it’s actually both landing and takeoff with a crosswind. If you put the synoptics page to FCT. (Flight Control), you’ll see major rudder deflection upon touchdown, as well as right after takeoff. Guessing it’s the Fly-By-Wire code, which adds an additional layer of complexity to the developers.

The rudder is super sensitive after landing and it requires a lot of elevator input to flare the aircraft which resulted in a hard landing because i didn’t want to overcompensate. Also having issues with TOD not showing and grossweights keep disappearing. Clicking the LSK brings up the correct value but can’t be re-entered. I had to read the grossweight from the display and enter it manually for approach speeds, i had to do that repeatedly to check whether Vapp has become lower upon final approach.

same here today! after landing yaws . hope they are working on hot fix guys!
Thanks

Cant even use the rudder on the 787 now. Any other aircraft no problems but the 787 doesnt move. I use spad.next for rudder control on all my aircraft. Disaapointing as cant even use the 787 at all, wont steer.
Even re-loaded the heavy divsion version in there so with same control bindings etc - rudder works with HD 787 but not with Asobo 787. I give up sometimes. With all the hooha same old stories.

Spad.next is very customizable, but sometimes a bit more complicated than just mapping through the standard FS2020 Controls page. I use both, but my main Flight Controls are still through the Sim.
That said, I’ve never had rudder issues as you observe in the 787…just the additional yaw beyond my rudder pedals as described in the bug report.

I used to have everything incl rudder controls through the sim but now all rudder is through spad.next, for some reason some time ago I could not get the sim to properly calibrate my thrustamaster pedals but re-assigning all rudder to spad.next works so much better except now for the default 787. Every other plane works fine - PMDG 737s, FBW a320, ATR, HD78X, Salty 747 and all other default planes. Anyway, just when I thought would be good to try the 787 again with the new avionics something else goes wrong.

What is your spad.next setup for the rudder? What simvars or key events is it sending?

Its just an axis change event - go to T-rudder (thats my thrustmaster rudder pedals) slect axis then click axis configuration and calibrate axis for the pedals. I then have a controller setup on msfs called spad.next for the rudders which is blank and then it uses the spad.next rudders, works so much better for me now. I the use this same event for any plane profile I have in spad.next.

Some further info. The 787HD version rudders works fine and it is the same contoller settings. I just updated and loaded in the Kuro 787-8 which now uses the Asobo 787 settings and of course the rudder does not work because it is using the default. Anyone else with this issue?

Hello to all…
Had the same issue myself landing with the 787. Ran a few tests and discovered that the auto brake system is the issue. Did 3 landings with auto brake off… and no yaw issue or erratic behaviour after touchdown

Is it possible the auto brake is not applying equally to both sets of wheels?

Pretty sure that’s what’s happening

Its not the autobrakes just tested it…

I’m starting to think it might be some sort of differential braking issue, be it Autobrake or my two feet on the toe brakes (Logitech rudder pedals). Maybe the plane senses a differential, FBW applies opposite rudder, and puts it in some sort of race condition/feedback loop?

I tried one experiment where I mapped both toe brakes to both sides, essentially forcing equal braking for L/R , and the one landing I tried with the 787 seemed to be pretty stable. I only have one data point, but will be away from sim for a few days. I will test this out a bit more next week.

Nah mate i dont have any rudder pedals and still does it

Gotcha…sorta rules out my theory.

Oh well, someone above in this thread says WT has fixed this internally but it didn’t make the AAU2 release, so I’ll pause the 787 for a while.

There is a problem with the rudder going wrong on landing on a plane that is not a 787 but has stock fly-by-wire.
The stock fly-by-wire is supposed to turn off when below 50ft, but the rudder stays fly-by-wire.
If you look at the rudder movement from an external viewpoint from behind, the rudder moves to counteract the input in an attempt to maintain a straight line.
