Jateu Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hi All Please see attached pic explain problem. No matter what I do I have to input about 10% left rudder pedal to get the damn hog to run down the runway or fly straight. Just recently updated to new DCS World! I'm using saitek pro rudder pedals.'I have tried to trim rudder but makes no difference. Please can some else out there help as Im about to throw my whole project out the window!!!!
Jateu Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 At 10k feet. I have already considered that it's only happened since update? Any one else got the same problem. I have trimmed and trimmed and trimmed. I have got thousands invested but I am fed up with it all now. Can anyone please shed some light on this issue! Even when I'm taxing it's still happening. Is there anyway to calibrate rudder pedals?
Jateu Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 I have just checked axis viewer and everything is indicated as it should be so why all of a sudden is this happening!
Jateu Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Thank you Trev for your input. An I right in saying If I trim the rudder that should get rid of it. If so I have trimmed rudder still no change. And at take off I have exactly the same amount if deflection of the nose at 55 knots? I will try else where and see if it changes !

And at take off I have exactly the same amount if deflection of the nose at 55 knots? No, you shouldn't trim against this, as Trev pointed out already. This just indicates that your plane is being pushed to the side by a (strong) wind from the side (called "crosswind"). Try this: if you find yourself in such a situation, turn 180°. After you've reversed course, the ladder should be offset to the other side. If that's the case, everything works as intended. If the ladder is still offset to the same side on a reverse course, there seems to be something really wrong. In that case I'd try in this order: disable all mods (if any); repair DCS World; unplug all joysticks/controllers (including Xbox controllers and anything remotely alike!) and try with keyboard only; delete (or move away/rename) Saved Games\DCS World; uninstall and then reinstall DCS World. Let us know how it goes.
Blooze Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I only fly the A-10C so I am acutely aware of any changes that occur with this plane alone. I don't remember which update it was but about 2 or 3 updates ago my hog began pulling to the right regardless of circumstances or wind variations. I too not only have to compensate with steering down the runway but also have to trim to the left when in the air. Although it's not a big deal and easy to compensate for I remain convinced that this was a bug introduced by one of the updates. There were others that noticed this about 6 months ago but it never was discussed much in a short lived thread. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.:music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I don't suffer from this problem, but maybe a track could help nail it down.
Cool Breeze Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Does having the offset nose gear contribute to drift on taxi and takeoff? "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo Da Vinci "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." John F. Kennedy

Well, now I will have to eat my own words. I just flew a test mission with no wind or loadout and it flew straight as an arrow. I stand corrected. Maybe the update actually made the effects of wind and/or weapons more realistic. I learn something every day with this sim. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

EDIT: Sorry didn't see your other post.

PFunk1606688187 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Asymmetrical drag from stores can make for a very active rudder during takeoff. I don't think its new. Perhaps some are only flying with sharper asymmetries of drag than usual. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
wmiles Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I am new to the A 10c and I recently installed the sim with patches and I too have noticed a persistent and slight roll or turn to the right along with a slight dive. Admittedly I am so new to this simulator I really have no idea what is realistic and what would be considered a bug but I thought I would respond with what I noticed from an instant action flight.
PFunk1606688187 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Well tell me what the load out is by station# and I can tell you how asymmetrical the drag is. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
Jateu Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Wmiles I had the sane problem before. However it's not a problem the A-10C is very sensitive on trim. It's something have to constantly do. I have the hotas warthog and it makes a huge difference being able to constantly trim as you fly.
