Nosewheel Steering - Sensitivity slider special options?

Recommended Posts

If you're tipping over you're indeed taxiing too fast. I use 30 curvature on my TPR and that's perfectly fine for sensitivity.

Not sure what the problem is, but landing the Viper appears to have the same problem as the P-51D had when it was first released. Takeoffs were, as with reality, difficult because of the Merlin's huge amount of torque. But landing should have been much easier. In the first few weeks, the poor P-51 would do its best to kill you if it ever touched planet earth after flying. Later, it got fixed and landing is now much more realistic.

 

I am ASSUMING.... ahem.... that the same goes for the Viper. Yes, you CAN land without incident, but just one little thing that just ain't quite right and the Viper commits suicide, taking you with it. :joystick:

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Honestly on the ground the viper seems to have like no friction at all. It glides around at idle with no effort.

 

Just like a real thing, while literally all the other DCS modules are held back by some magick sticky thing that you need to overcome with too much of thrust. The Harrier is said to start rolling by just releasing the wheel brakes at 29% idle RPM - as opposed in DCS since the last change you need over 60% RPM to get going. But that's just the extreme example.

A clean viper should be able to taxi at idle. That’s realistic.

Never botched a single landing in the 16 and I've been flying her daily since early access release day. She's really easy on the pilot.

 

What exactly are you referring to that goes wrong when you're landing her?

As Wags mentions in his vid, landing the F-16 is really different from the F-18. I struggled a couple of times with AOA and proper flare for a two wheel touchdown. Didn’t crash, but it wasn’t pretty. Getting the hang of it now. Mainly practice and getting to know the plane (again for me).

Make all NWS (sharp) turns 10 knots or 5 knots heavily-loaded. It's a sports car in the air but a wheelbarrow on the ground. Gear is stiff and narrow. Be slow and patient.

 

The real rudder pedals are force-sensing just like the stick and pressure for full input is quite high. It's expected that the light spring forces on consumer hardware may result in over control.

 

There's not much a simulator can do because rudder input to steering output is fixed relative to rudder output. It's not possible to change the relative wheel vs. rudder response for a given pedal input and still be an F-16 simulator.

Oh that’s interesting! So they don’t move just like the stick? I notice the rudder pedals in the cockpit look rather odd when they move.

Sorry, but pedals are not force sensing.

 

-Edit- least i cant find any info about force sensing, only force to required to move em.

AFAIK they only 'move' 1/2 inch. Breakout force is 15lbs and max is 100lbs.

Then they have funny modeling as they turn in cockpit like 30cm either direction when you use pedals.

 

Difference is that the pedals do not have a twisting so they would stay parallel to each others but it's like one bar that you turn. So when you push pedal forward by 30 degree, then the braking pedal is as well 30 degree to your feet.

 

It is like designed as bicycle control bar with brake handles.

 

But it is way too sensitive. It acts like a F-18 steering at high, for carrier deck turns.

 

My problem is that in landings I can only control aircraft yawn with rudder, until touch down when the authority of rudder lowers quickly by speed. Then comes critical time when I do not have rudder authority almost at all, and braking with left or right pedal does nothing really, but braking with both does start to slow down.

 

Only way to steer F-16 is to use NWS all after flaring and letting nose wheel touch down at 95-100 knots (IIRC) and it is extremely sensitive all the time. Wouldn't use it for anything else than parking if wheel brakes would be effective to make turns even when taxiing.

 

Only way really to taxii, control landing and take-off is to use NWS, until the rudder gets enough air speed.

That's the correct way :)

 

Btw, 100kts for NWS is way too fast IMO.

 

I've already reported the wrong rudder pedal animation in the bug section.

They move a small amount but the sensor that reports pilot input is a force transducer like the stick. There is no cable or other mechanical linkage.

I had to laugh at that one, I too felt, wow this is really easy to land, I must be getting pretty good, - then I realized there was no damage model!
