Sorry for digging up a post this old, but I've been away from simming for a while. Your last reply did in fact fix my problem. Thanks very much for your help, and thanks for FSUIPC! -Mark

Ok, I'm back at home and retesting this. I've enabled logging, renamed my old FSUIPC4.ini, and restarted Prepar3d. Controls were turned off in Prepar3d, and nothing assigned by FSUIPC yet. I assigned axes for aileron, elevator, rudder, left and right brakes, and throttles 1 and 2. I then calibrated them all. This was done using the default flight, and the default F22. All controls moved and logged as you said they should. I then switched into the Maule. I assigned the tiller axis with the profile specific box checked, and named the profile "maule". I calibrated the tiller axis, and all functions worked and logged as you described that they should. I switched back to the F22. The tiller had no effect on the controls, and did not log rudder movement. The rudder itself, however, didn't either with 0 speed. I sped up, and the rudder slowly regained effectiveness (and logged that way accordingly) as it would if the tiller were assigned to it's profile. I should note here that the F22 has not been assigned a profile (perhaps this is where I run into trouble?) I then reset the axis for the tiller so that it was no longer calibrated by FSUIPC. The F22 then began to behave correctly (meaning the rudders move and log at 0 speed with the rudder pedals). This of course broke the functioning of the tiller for the Maule after switching back to it. Here is a paste of my INI file after recalibrating the tiller axis (which made the F22 behave incorrectly again). Thanks for your time.

I've been using the tiller for quite some time, and never noticed that it prevented the rudder surface from moving at 0 kts. Learn something new every day. I'm still having the problem though, that ALL aircraft in ALL profiles follow the 0 rudder effectiveness at low speeds regardless of the presence of steering tiller in their profile. I removed all tiller and steering entries from the FSUIPC4.ini, and restarted prepar3d. Rudder functions as prepar3d originally meant. I then loaded an airliner, and assigned the tiller to that profile. After this all the profiles behaved as described above. Is this the way it is intended to work? Should I only use the FSX steering tiller axis on those aircraft that I want the tiller for? BTW, I agree that the way you've made the rudder work is "well appreciated". :)

I am running Prepar3d 2.5 on windows 10 with FSUIPC 4.942 For all aircraft, the rudder (and rudder pedals) will not move until the aircraft is moving. The faster I go, the farther the rudder will deflect. I removed FSUIPC and tried with just the prepar3d controllers turned on, and the rudder functions normally. This is preventing me from being able to steer on the ground with the rudder pedals. As a side note, aircraft with a steering tiller function normally on the ground. All other control surfaces behave normally regardless of speed. Thanks, Mark Hager
