resolved Rudder Issue

[Tanarg]

Interesting issue just occurred, any help in identifying the cause most appreciated. Out of the blue the F-18 rudders on both Open and Beta versions of DCS on the same machine have gone mad.  At centre, both rudders are angled inward. Moving the rudder to the right impacts the right rudder and moving it left impacts the left rudder, but not in the way you would expect, and not in sync.  All other aircraft having two rudders are behaving normally.

I did a repair on the Beta version, which had no impact, and then deleted the associated Beta Saved Games folder, and on restart only set up the rudder profile, deleting everything else. It made no difference to the problem.

The Thrustmaster TPR pedals show as behaving as I would expect in Windows and when setting the profile in DCS.  I don't understand why this problem is only impacting F-18 and not F-14, A-10 etc, any ideas?

Until today this was operating normally. The only thing that I know has changed is that I updated my SimAppPro to the latest version.  To rule this out I uninstalled the application completely before repairing/deleting the Beta Saved Games folder; it made no difference.

With Flaps half or full the rudders are automatically pointing inwards. With flaps up they will return to the neutral position.

If you think this is not what you are seeing, attach a short track showing the issue.

Please check for double inputs on your rudder axis in the DCS controls settings.

Resolved, thanks.  A switch in the cockpit had meant that the flaps were set at half when I had not realised it.  I had not realised that the flap settings had a impact on the rudders, and having just moved to flying the F-18 recently this had escaped me.  I still don't understand why this is the case, but it is clearly expected behaviour.
