skypirate Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 El Hadji is right. I figured the way to use it is before you initiate the turn with ruder pedals neutral, press the switch and then turn. When back in straight line release the switch. Pressing/releasing the steering switch in anything other than neutral gets your plane in the flowers. And don't use this switch during your take off run :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Regards!
Kelevra9987 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I have no curves on my Rudder Axis and be just fine with it. Sure it's Sensitive but after a few laps around Kobuletti I'm fine with how she handles. I'm using the MFGs with Spring full tensioned.

flyingscotsman Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Nice to it was not just me parking in the grass etc, There's a few thing from the 60's we have to re-learn lol
cellinsky Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 How do you steer on the ground? Do you steer like first give it some rudder input and then press the button? I had some difficulties with it as well, but just in the beginning. Once I figured out that I may only touch the pedals as long as the button is pressed, everything is fine. If you have some rudder deflection and then press the button it's almost like it 'jumps' the nosewheel right into the position according to the rudder deflection - and, man the tiger can go crazy on the ground! :) Yes, the sensitivity is very very high, but imho reasonable given its very small turn radius on the ground. So, I suggest you try it like this: center your rudder press the NWS button and hold it steer with your rudder center your rudder release the NWS button If you ever find yourself releasing the NWS button while you are still not centered... good luck! :D Good to hear its just bad habit on my side...
Sarge55 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I just use a toggle switch to turn NWS on, taxi and steer using the rudders as normal. Once lined up, toggle off roll a couple of feet to ensure the nose wheel is straight. Good to go...

hellking Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Same problem here with Saitek rudder... Too sensitive. Even a tiny touch on NS makes a very hard turn. When you try to correct it you end up overcorrecting and enter an oscillation. There is no way this is how it works in reality. This was the only obvious bug that I discovered, otherwise excellent module!
IvanK Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Using a T16000M and even with the much reduced travel of the twist grip compared to pedals I don't have any oversensitivity problems and it looks realistic to me. As IRL most NWS systems are rather sensitive. Agree. I am using Crosswind pedals. For Rudder axis I use a Dead zone of 8 and a curve 30. NWS feels pretty right to me with what I recall IRL last century.
Foul Ole Ron Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 After spending more time with it and making sure rudder input is neutral before engaging NWS I don't have any sensitivity issues anymore. Seems to respond realistically. I guess the issue I had at first was using the rudder before NWS which causes some jerky moves and can lead to trouble.
Boomer_QLD Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Toggle switch for NWS I just use a toggle switch to turn NWS on, taxi and steer using the rudders as normal. Once lined up, toggle off roll a couple of feet to ensure the nose wheel is straight. Good to go... +1 I mapped it to a toggle switch on the Warthog Throttle. It now works perfectly. I also use this for the F86 and F'Cliffs Aircraft The F-5 easily taxi's around the airbase. Once lined up, I switch off the toggle, floor the throttles and head for the other end :-) I really don't want to hold a switch the whole time or over use one by pressing it every 5 seconds while taxiing. The jet is twitchy on landing, so I wait until the chute has really slowed it down, before application of both brakes simultaneously. I have MFG Crosswind V2 and have no curve, it just needs a light touch.
