miatamariner Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 My first foray into X-Plane and 12. I have the Saitek Yoke and throttle quadrant, but no rudder pedals. In FSX, there is an option in flight controls to activate automatic rudder control. I've searched the Settings menu and Flight Controls but can not find a setting to couple the rudder control to the Yoke, to keep the aircraft from moving left or right from the centerline, on takeoff. Is there a setting to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miatamariner Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 I can't believe that LR doesn't have the capability to simply provide an option to couple the rudder to either banking or roll modes to allow simple nose wheel steering.

flytv1 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi. You should try and get a set of rudder pedals, some used are available like the CH Propedalds USB for under $50.00. To use XPlane without a Rudder input assign None to the Rudder axis and you get some Autocoordination not very good but something you can try.

The_Flying_Potato Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) By default, I think you can press (num pad) keys 1 and 3 for left and right rudder. 5 centres everything. Using settings, keyboard, all, flight controls, basics, rudder (l/r/centre) you can assign keys. Obviously, you can also assign buttons on your yoke. Also, to address the second part of your post, I'm also reasonably certain that rudder control is automatic in flight if it's not assigned elsewhere or if no rudder pedals are attached. This is for X Plane 11. PS Rudder? What's one of those? :confused: Edited November 21, 2022 by The_Flying_Potato 'Cos X Plane11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
