In this screenshot, my plane is flying straight. It’s not turning right, it’s flying straight ahead, as if it was horizontal despite the fact it’s almost 20° tilted to the right. And no, there is no wind.
The AP is activated in NAV mode, and the plane, instead of joining the path, is flying away from it.
This happens right after today’s update. Just for the record, my community folder is empty.
I’m done.
edit: the solution to the problem is in one of my posts below. The issue was that Asobo changed the rudder controls (without saying it in the release notes…) and now by default they don’t recenter automatically. So it’s not a bug it’s a feature !
Looks like a lot of left rudder input is being put in. I’d check control bindings and calibration for rudder axis and rudder trim. Also confirm the flight model didn’t get changed from modern to legacy.
Just tested, from a Co-ordinated state with neutral trim you can up to about 40% rudder input before the AP disconnects. That only seems to take it you about 7 degrees of bank to balance out though, interestingly if you hold the input long enough, when you go to neutral controls the “ball” doesn’t centre. At this point you can go full opposite rudder without disconnecting the AP and stabilize at up to 30 degrees of bank.
During all this the rudder trim indicator in the MFD doesn’t budge, so while definitely something else weird going on behind the scenes here, it all starts with manual rudder inputs.
You can tell it’s engaged because of the skid / slip indicator (the white triangle and bar at the top of the attitude indicator are misaligned). There is probably a keyboard shortcut that caused it to stick.
I think you are using the new (without telling you they changed it) rudder controls.
The new controls don’t re-center the rudder after you touch it. Follow this and let me know if it fixes it.
Search for rudder by name under the gamepad.
See rudder left (yaw left) and rudder right (yaw right)?
Click on each one and clear current input and validate.
Click on rudder axis left or right and make the input left trigger for left and then right trigger for right and validate after each one.
Asobo needs to add it to the release notes and the Q&A in the stickied post above.
