Nealius Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 What's the deal with the NWS steering range? With no curves set, the NWS is so sensitive that my heartbeat is enough to cause twitching during taxiing. I set a 10 curve, which is still overly sensitive, but at the same time the aircraft can't turn worth a damn on the ground. For a 90-degree turn with max rudder deflection I have to lead the turn by a good 50 feet, which often puts me very close to cutting across the corner and going into the grass...

bbrz Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Don't understand. A curve shouldn't have any impact on max deflection, regardless if it's 0 or 100. My F-15 taxiing ok. A 180° turn requires approx 3/4 of a runway with. No need to lead anything. I'm using no curve for the rudder, but I didn't notice any difference in the turning radius when using a 100% curve. No twitchiness at all with 0% here. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) @Nealius: Yes, it's sensitive. Using throttle paddles I set 50-60 curve and still have to be gentle. As for tight turns you have to be slow and hold the NWS key - turns on a dime :) Edited June 30, 2019 by draconus Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrz Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 That's strange. Without pushing the steering button, I've got a relative wide turn radius and when I push the NWS button, the F-15 locks the nosewheel at the present position and I can't turn at all. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tricky names there...

DeltaMike Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yep. The rudder pedals are very sensitive yet there's a risk of running off the road depending on the airfield. Don't underestimate it. The F15 isn't actually all that easy to fly, not particularly easy to fly well either. In the short run, mess around with nws-hi which helps. Lots of curve helps but leave X and Y axis alone. Long run, practice. Or just embrace it. Land on the taxiway and drift into your spot. "Like a glove!" Nobody is watching. Usually.

Thanx :) Since I've sold my pedals I'm back to the twist-rudder control and there's the rudder/nws way less sensitive/twitchy of course.

Nealius Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Ah, so that's what the maneuvering range command is for. Without it my turns when parking have been awful. To turn 60 degrees I end up taking an entire F-15's length of space, usually making me run off into the grass when trying to park on the already narrow ramp.
