Tiller nose wheel A330 Familly broken

The tiller nose wheel button,

It’s broken even when you click on it; the plane keeps turning left or right when you only want to move the rudder for flight control.

Description of the issue:

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Spawn with any a330 family, start your taxi

  2. Start your flight control for the rudder but before click on the tiller in your left

  3. which must prevent the front wheel from turning in order to test flight control the rudder

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

I see a difference with the tiller off or on. If on, nevertheless front wheel is slightly turning, maybe it should not move at all ?. Is that the same issue you are seeing ?

Hi, yeah that’s it. Release your parking brake ,start taxi and did this manipulation. when you click on it, the front wheel should not move. So yes, as you said, that’s exactly the problem.

The nose wheel should move slightly with rudder controls tiller turned off as this is how the real aircraft works. Rudder controls tiller turned on is for the sim for those that don’t have a separate device to control nose wheel steering. As per the OP, in the real aircraft, you can press (hold?) the button in the middle of the tiller to allow you to push the rudder pedals without turning the nose wheel at all to test the control surfaces during taxi but this doesn’t work in the sim

So from what I understand and reading, even if the tiller is disconnected, when you move the rudder pedals, front wheel will move 6 degrees max right/left and that is what I am seeing into the sim. Does not seem to be a bug then or am i missing something ?

If you push the “pedal disco” button on the tiller and use the rudder pedals, there should be no movement of the front wheel at all. Regardless of whether you have active or not the “rudder control tiller” on the EFB.

A related problem is that friction in the simulator should be significantly increased to accurately simulate how the aircraft behaves in real-world taxi.

Friction and momentum are practically imperceptible, and minimal input from the tilter or rudder pedals makes the aircraft turn as if it weighed next to nothing.

Yes, but the bug here is that when you press on the pedal disc and use the rudder, the front wheel keeps moving, which it shouldn’t. If that can be fixed, that would be great.

Yes. With rudder controls tiller turned off, the nose wheel will move +/-6 degrees. The disconnect button in the middle on the tiller should prevent the nose wheel from moving at all but doesn’t

Out of curiosity I’ve also tested the others Inibuilds Airbus (A320/A321/A400) and it seems they suffer the same issue. For the A310 I did not find a tiller as on the others Airbus.

@ClammyMite02374 : if you could also test the others aircraft and in case they have the same issue maybe you could update title/description to include all of them.
I would think this is not a SU4 regression and issue also exists in the live version.

I have tested it on the A320v2 and confirm the issue.
