I’m very new to the new flight sim myself, but I have been reading some over the last week.
I have read at a couple of places in the forum and elsewhere that if something is binded to more than one controller (hardware) then there is definitely trouble using that control.
If I’m wrong or mistaken, please do let me know and I will delete this, my apologies.
This is what I saw on your screenshot.
This is already used somewhere else, Do you want to bind it anyway? Could it be that a multiple bind might be the issue?
The hardware on this button has been binded to another button on hardware XYZ (and named the ghardware)
Or/and
This binding exists through another button which is XYZ for the same control, then it would make more sense, and also make it easier to check the or any other binding issue.
Clear communication would help new sim users like myself and the human who started this thread.
For a sim that can fly, and render such beauty, simpler communication when an error is presents itself, would then not intimidate new simmers ease in.
Evening Humblesprout mate sorry just in from work mate I am logged in to MSFS now. and yes you saying the Airbus thats great because thats the one I want to fly anyway but have had issues with it steering and tiller etc a month ago everything was great with the FBW but for some reason its all gone wrong. so yes would be great if you could help with that for me and I do appreciate all your time mate.
The thing is worsergiraffe its all new to lots and some get very confused with what bindings and settings go where and Im one of them I have been very lost with it. I have had MSFS2020 from day one released and have to say its the best yet you cant fault it at all but it is very stressful when things go wrong mate.
Just again tried to take off with the FBW A320 and this is what im getting its not staying on centre line and I cant steer it back onto centre line and its taking off to short of the runway as you can see.
Ground steering is horrible, whether you use the tiller or rudders (for yaw).
It feels like we are trying to navigate on an ice taxiway. The aircraft just slides instead of turning.
I have no numbers in Trim left or right Humblesprout. what do I need to put in? And is that correct what I have in rudder Axis because if not let me know. as cant see in yours no rudder axis.
There is also one more interesting note of interest I have come across. The hardware being used may be too high on sensitivity settings, or more commonly, the hardware may have “degraded” due to various factors, and might have a default tendency to sway to one side, which would require you to create a dead zone to compensate. Going to the settings and checking that, and if necessary, reducing the sensitivity, or creating a dead zone (if hardware is degraded) might be worth checking out. Your setup seems good, and thus your having this issue could also probably be due to some hardware issue. At the risk of causing you more harassment (provided the sensitivity or dead zone does not work), If you disconnected all your hardware and then checked them one by one, you may find the culprit.
I solved this after many weeks of reading and unsuccessfully changing settings. I have the stable FBW version. I use alpha and bravo honeycomb. I don’t have pedals. Previously I had no rudder axis setting and used auto rudder in pilot assistance. The bottom line is that you now need to create a binding for the rudder axis (and disable the assistance as advised by FBW). The only way to steer above 20-25 knots is with the rudder - especially on take off and landing. The tiller works well under those speeds and allows very tight turns so long as you practice as advised in the FBW documentation.
So……set the new nose wheel setting and the ailerons to the alpha yoke, set the rudder axis to one of your unused bravo throttles (and use that to steer when you land and takeoff) then separate the tiller and the rudder in the fly pad realism setting. This solved it for me!
hi metmd all sounds hard to do to me Lol. but i know these things need doing its just I get confused with how to do the bindings and settings. Im not a silly guy Im quite intelligent but since MSFS thats gone out the window a bit. but I am trying for sure. I know you guys cant do everything I fully understand your all doing a great job helping people like me out. I fully appreciate it.
It should be higher in this instance, so a small move of the controls, or to control minor hardware issues with automatic moves being detected, as in your situation. One thing I am sure of, somehow the hardware is causing this issue, else many others would have faced it.
I would start by checking bindings. Check.
Then checking dead zones and increasing them, if required. Check.
If none oft the above, then disconnect and re connect each hardware one by one.
I read something wonderful somewhere on the forum, with regards to Tiller and Rudder. Easiest method to remember this… and know what control is to be used where, cannot remember who wrote it, else would have given credit.
