SWS Pilatus PC-12 Aileron, Rudder bound together

Has anyone found a way to unbind these axis. There is not another Pilatus that I have that has this feature in either 20 or 24. And I would like to be able to control this plane in the sensitivity section myself. At the moment this plane is useless.
Please help

You’re trying to control this thing down the runway…and it’s trying to flip over at the same time. This is a serious problem. Who thought of this?..lol.

I found this fix for people that bought this PC12 outside marketplace and have it in their community folder. But I can’t seem to locate if this is accessible from a marketplace purchase of the same plane.

  1. Make sure that MSFS is not running
  2. Find this file
    \Community\sws-aircraft-pc12\SimObjects\Airplanes\SWS_Pilatus_PC12_4B\model.ext_4b\SWS_PC12_exterior.xml
  3. Open it in Notepad++ and go to line 206:
    <AILERON_RUDDER_INTERCONNECT>True</AILERON_RUDDER_INTERCONNECT>
  4. Change “True” to “False”
    <AILERON_RUDDER_INTERCONNECT>False</AILERON_RUDDER_INTERCONNECT>
  5. Save.

From now on, Aileron and Rudder can be controlled separately with the default AXIS_AILERONS_SET and AXIS_RUDDER_SET events.

hmmm…I didn’t get that bug

I believe that the ailerons and rudder being coupled is a feature of the Pilatus PC-12, not a bug. It is designed to help with turn coordination and to mitigate adverse yaw.

I get they are going for a realistic flight model, but I hope it’s something they can adjust as the transition from ground to air mode and back again is making takeoffs and landings a bit difficult imho, and they haven’t fixed it yet.

I’d rather the plane didn’t try and flip me upside down going down the runway…lol

The latest update has done away with the issue of takeoffs and landing issues.

Thanks for the update for 2020! Appreciate the info.
I’ve actually trashed MSFS 2024 and got my refund, and sidelined 2020 for now for other interests, haven’t played for a while. Very disappointed in Microsoft and Asobo for their newest creation which was beta at best when released. This is not how you treat loyal customers.
Thanks, I’ll try the PC 12 again when I return.

I just use the default trim settings on the SWS PC12, rotate at around 60 knots,climbout at around 105 knots. Takeoff and landing roll are right on centerline every time. I approach with 40 degrees of flaps around 95 knots and touch down with power off at runway threshold at around 60 knots, and use reverse pitch to slow to 40 knots and then apply both brakes at the same time. Piece of cake.

So in case someone still has problems with ground control when landing the solution is to switch the YD off. This is actually mentioned in the manual (yes I was that desperate!).

For a smooth landing I follow A330 Drivers suggestion to setup the plane for landing, gear down, flaps down, and keep the AP on until final approach speed and then turn AP and YD off, the plane is now trimmed perfectly and all you have to do is the land. With the YD off the plane does not try to tip you over..
