blanrv8 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 So i've noticed that I have a significant amount of yaw/slipping when i'm slow/coming in for a landing when i'm around 140kts. I have the logitec 3D pro stick, with the twist for rudder. I've set a deadzone for the rudder on the yoke but doesn't seem to do the trick. Any ideas? I could use trim but that shouldn't be the issue. I just got the module and still getting familiar with it. I'm assuming the two rudders curling inwards is normal?

If you're landing straight into the wind, (or if there's zero wind) there should be no yaw at all. What mission is it?

Flamin_Squirrel Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 You have to be on the ground for the wind to make you yaw, so that's not it.
PoorOldSpike Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Yeah just to clarify, yaw is when the planes nose swings left or right (usually when we waggle the rudder), but drift is when the whole plane slides left or right with the wind even if all controls are central.

If the aircraft is in a sideslip with no control input, it is not properly trimmed.
AndyJWest Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Note that the velocity vector on the HUD doesn't give a direct indication of yaw. It will be offset in a crosswind, even if you have no sideslip, and the effect becomes greater as wind increases and/or your TAS decreases: the velocity vector tells you which direction you are moving relative to a stationary GPS/inertia derived fixed 'ground', rather than the air (or the carrier for that matter).
