Rudder turns while taxing

[Bluebird]

Hi all

just a question why does the rudder turn when you use the tiller?? just about all the payware planes do it.. it don't happen in real life so why on here flightsim ??

Thanks

The rudder is tied to teh steering in FSX so thats the way it is. Just dont look at it.

And almost all light aircraft the steering is done by the rudder pedals, so the rudder does move when turning. Not so for the heavies though.

I never noticed but it seems strange that the game would tie in the rudder to other control surfaces when they are not that way IRL.

I would suggest having a look in your settings to see if you have autorudder turned on, I think it is under Settings>Realism and somewhere on the page. I would be curious to know if it was set and if it was, when turned off does the rudder still move?

It is a FS9/FSX thing with rudder tied in with nose wheel steering , many simply don't even have rudder pedals and can only use the auto feature for ground turning and they don't notice it , another example of this - a couple design groups even animate turrets on WWII bombers to give it the that someone is on board and in position operating it .
