Nose Wheel Steering
-
I had a similar sort of problem tonight. Ramp start, all good. Get ready to move out. Turn NWS on… yes, green light goes on. Remove chalks, we roll forward, I gently turn my stick to the left and…nothing.
The damn thing won’t steer despite NWS being ON? I’m sure I must have screwed up something during ramp start but any idea what I could have missed? I didn’t have this problem yesterday?
I managed to get to the runway using rudder input and once airborne, the stick functioned just fine so it wasn’t like it wasn’t registering the stick input?
(That was an interesting moment when I took my heavily loaded jet onto the runway, went into the AB and thinking to myself… if my stick just isn’t working, I’m soooooooooooo screwed! )Wait. I am confused, as far as I know NWS is done by rudder input not stick input?

Yes rudder input, not stick

Not with roll-linked nws enabled [emoji6]
From the manual:
Enable Roll-linked NWS
This option helps you to steer your aircraft on the ground even if you don’t have rudder pedals as an
input device. The roll axis controls the steering of the aircraft on the groundVerstuurd vanaf mijn F5121 met Tapatalk

Yes I remember that now. Which is true to IRL though?

No, in IRL, it’s not possible to control the NWS with the stick. Only the rudder pedals can be used for the NWS.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. I must have had roll link enabled first… and then disabled later. Which is why it confused the hell out of me.

I’d love to but that’s after the Cougar and Warthog I can’t afford either so…… not likely any time soon.
May whoever at Microsoft decided to ditch gameport support by damned in hell.

In an F-16 do sim pilots use the rudder for anything else than steering on the ground? I thought the FLCS took care of co-ordinated turns and hence have not bothered. (I understand that if you are flying other aeroplanes a rudder may be useful).
