GBJim Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Is there any way that I can reduce rudder response on a particular plane ? I recently installed an Avro Lancaster bomber, and it is far too sensitive on rudder. I don't want to go to FSX Settings just to suit one particular plane, and would just like to tune down the yaw response for this Lancaster.

lnuss Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If you have the paid version of FSUIPC you can make adjustments there, or you can go into the aircraft.cfg and change the rudder effectiveness from its default value.

GBJim Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I could not find a way to open planes cfg file to make changes. I'm using FSX on Windows 7. Any ideas ? ? ? Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennC Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Jim, The file you need is aircraft.cfg in the aircraft folder for the airplane. It is a plain text file, Notepad will be perfect for the job. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 In the cfg's 'Flight Tuning' section he did this: ''rudder_effectiveness= 4.50''. Change it to '=1.000'. That should do it. If it's STILL too sensitive than you have to look in air file's 'Flight Dynamics' section (1101) and change the 'yaw_stability1=xxx' and 'yaw_stability2=xxx' values. Try '1=300' and '2=32536'. If I knew the zip file name I could work on it. Like you said: am not going to change FSX just for 1 airplane. Makes sense.

GBJim Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 OK ! I got it done ! I used Notepad and got the cfg file open , reduced the rudder effectiveness values, and now she's flyin good. Thanks to you all for making me aware of what the config file does, it has opened up a whole new world for me.
