I've just posted this on alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim, before I checked
this group... I've had FS2004 in for a while, and like others I've been looking at the visual goodies and old aircraft etc (very nice too). But now the initial exploring is over, I have just done a bit of standard flying around the good old Meigs area (familiar from all previous versions) in the two Cessnas, mainly to look at frame-rates and fine-tune the visual settings. However, a bigger problem has jumped out and hit me... rudder control. The first thing I found was that the rudder in both aircraft is horrendously over-sensitive. So...straight to the Control Sensistivity adjustments - no good. Even at minimum sensitivity the rudder is awful. Taxying, or using rudder to hold straight on the runway with a light cross-wind component, both result in violent pedulum lateral swinging developing. Even when flying straight and level a rudder input has the same effect - lateral undamped swings with no basic aerodynamic stability. Balanced turns now seem almost impossible. I'm using a CH Pro Throttle, and have configured the mini joystick as the rudder input - not too realistic, I know - but with a little familiarity it has always worked OK with FS2002 and previous versions, as well as in IL2 FB (which has convincingly real flight model dynamics in this area). I've tried resetting the inputs in the stick software as well, but cannot get it working in a realistic manner. So am I alone here? It seems to me that the rudder input flight modelling in the default FS9 Cessnas (haven't gone further yet) has been buggered. Lateral stability has been destroyed. Is it me? Or what? Anyone else found the same? Graham "K" wrote in message ... anyone? This is annoying me in the extreme, despite having the sensitivity all the way down the slightest movement on the rudder almost spins you off the taxiway especially with the Cessnas. Trying to stick to the runway centreline is almost impossible with the slightest crosswind. FS2002, which i still have installed, is perfectly weighted. Anyone have a fix or is it solemthing that needs patching? K |

I agree -- it could possibly be the fault of the nosewheel modeling in the
software, and not that of the rudder... "Petar Lazarevski" wrote in message ... "Gman" wrote in message news:RRf%a.153096$YN5.100936@sccrnsc01...

I'm using the rudder on a cub and I can cut some mean donuts around the taxi
ways.... Petar Lazarevski wrote: "Gman" wrote in message news:RRf%a.153096$YN5.100936@sccrnsc01...
