Steering Issues

[Kpdretired]

I Must be doing something wrong in my Axis setups, I havent been able to get the Viggen off the ground yet, I'm constantly oversteering, both Taxiing, and in my takeoff roll, no matter how small my rudder inputs are, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

one thing to check first is your axis bindings, when just default, they seem to do rudder as well as throttle, could just be that

What controller do you have?

I have noticed Viggen is very sensitive to controller resolution. If you're yaw axis has low resolution it will become hard to maneuver.

My main controller, PFT Lynx, work perfectly fine with my helicopters. But for Viggen it has too low resolution, especially pitch and roll axis. Very hard to fly with my Lynx. So I am forced to use my old Saitech Cyborg Evo with Viggen.

Pedals are Thrustmaster, I first went with the settings in Chuck's guide i juess ill just have to keep messing with them

FWIW, the only axis I have tweaked in the controller setup is the rudder which I have set to curvature 20. It takes rather large inputs to turn corners.

 

During the takeoff roll I´ve noticed that the plane does a small yawing motion that I initially tended to overcorrect with rudder, classic PIO. Mostly the plane doesn´t need my input at all, depending on winds of course.

 

When airspeed reaches +270 I pull back slightly on the stick, then keep it still and let the nose rise, as opposed to pull more and more which causes the nose to yank up too much.

 

Hope that helps a bit.

Use the left and right wheel brakes for fine adjustments

I eventually figured it out, had t put in a dead zone and curve to make the steering manageable, thanks for all the advice folks
