jscott008 Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hello, Having big problem with getting the SR22 Entegra series (ver 2.0.1) to steer properly. Castor wheel steering can be a challenge but the aircraft constantly turns to the left (even on calm days). This goes WAY beyond the expected torque induced tendency that requires me to exert full right rudder then brake to counteract the turn. Any suggestions? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Rudder pedals with X-Plane never give the same level of finesse as the real aircraft which can make it difficult, especially with free castoring. A small bit of toe braking can go a long ways to helping though with taxiing. Some rudder pedals are more sensitive than others, you can experiment with the calibration curve for your hardware in X-Plane settings to see if you can improve the feel for what hardware you are using.

jscott008 Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Thanks will try that. If that doesn't work out, is there a way to convert the free castoring to plain old nose wheel steering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Yes, but a bit complicated. You would need to open the ACF file in Plane Maker, then in Standard -> Landing Gear, uncheck the box for the nose gear that is currently checked next to "Castors", and on that same page, you would need to add nose gear turn degree values, fields highlighted here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
