Rudder not working


Recommended Posts

All of a sudden i the rudder stopped working with FSUIPC  it shows up and works in the settings and calibration but not working in the plane? I turned on the contols in P3d and it worked then turned it back off and not working from fsuipc. 

Any Ideas ?? 

 

Thanks

Seems to be normal as rudders tend to work effectively as speed is increased. It is very hard to steer large aircrafts on the ground with rudders only, hence the use of front wheel tillers.

Try to increase the sensitivety in FSUIPC; I forgot the button name but it is there next to the set buttons for each control you calibrate and it allows you to change the response of the axis (control), which you can set to cause large initial response with smaller movements. This will help you get larger effects on the ground. I am not sure how accurate this is compared to the real aircraft responses, maybe a real pilot can add his comments to benefit us all. :-)

Hi,

 

your FSUIPC4.ini file shows you have the Tiller calibration active

SteeringTillerControl=0
MaxSteerSpeed=60
...
SteeringTiller=-16380,-512,512,16380

Even when

SteeringTillerControl=0

 

then 'a' tiller axis will be used to control the Rudder instead while the groundspeed increases towards 60kt (standard MaxSteerSpeed) and the Rudder axis is blending in again.

If you don't have a actual Tiller axis then go to Calibration tab -> page 9 and press the reset button for Tiller calibration, that will delete the entry in the INI file and deactivate the Tiller blending/ use.

Excuse my naive question; if I calibrate the tiller with FSUIPC, will the rudder responses be ineffective below 60knts? This is what I have as I do have a tiller.

If I remove tiller calibration and calibrate tiller in FSX will I have both rudder and tiller steering effective during taxi?

What is the correct setting? Should we be able to steer a 737 with rudders below 60?

Your choice. In FSX (but not before) the rudder and tiller are separate. FSUIPC's specific tiller control (assigned in the "direct FSUIPC" mode) is a control added by FSUIPC way back before FSX came out with an actual steering tiller control. You can use the FSX version if you wish, and you can assign it in FSUIPC's FS control lists. FSUIPC's one actually use the FS rudder control "under the hood"

The special arrangement in FSUIPC's, when both its tiller and the rudder are assigned and calibrated, is that the tiller has 100% control at 0 knots whilst the rudder has 100% at a set ground speed ("MaxSteerSpeed") which defaults to 60 knots. Between 0 and that speed one becomes gradually less effective and the other more effective.

The intention here is to simulate more closely the change in the real effectiveness of these two controls, where the pilot actually uses only tiller at slow ground speeds, but on the take-off roll gradually needs to be using rudder.

This is all documented in the FSUIPC User Guide, page 40 -- the boxed section.

To all who replied 

Thank you, i was messing around with the tiller access for the PMDG 777 and i did think that might have caused the problem but i did not know how to fix it. I was working like a mad man the past few weeks  and have not even turned on my rig to fix this. Pete i must say the more i learn about FSUIPC the more amazed i am about how complete and in depth you have gone with this software so once again thanks for the great work and the spot on support..
