Having said all this - the correct procedure for a 45m runway reversal is to set the nosewheel fully around before you start moving, so Boeing obviously aren't that bothered..:-)

Wouldn't you hold the aircraft with your brake pedals before you start the turn? If so, when you release the brakes, the deflected nose wheel would be affected for just a fraction of a second, wouldn't it?

I think that's a different problem, Peter. What do you think about the increased inertia on the track axis during the flare in crosswind?

No! not another malfunction! Haha..

In general, sometimes you DO have to hold the nosewheel at an angle if you are holding short and the aircraft isn't on a fully straight path, otherwise you WILL graunch the tyre.

True numerous 25kt landings.
Rudder input required in flare seems ok, but I think that the tendency to weathercock into wind on the rollout is too severe.
Having landed the aircraft straight, on the qdm, with into-wind aileron etc it seems to want to dive off into wind after a second or two, requiring full opposite rudder sometimes to prevent runway excursion.
The autopilot seems to encounter the same issue.

You mean I could add a randomized hydraulic fluid leak?

Well, you've got pressurised systems holding it in place, and I'd be curious to know how they proceed forward without scuffing the nosewheel

Hi Jack,

at the moment I can't see any problems in my code that would suggest Qi38 ("StbyBaro") would be read-only for add-ons. It should be possible to inject data. Qi38 data is read and processed in every time frame at frame rate, no matter whether the data is injected or internally set. It is internally set when:

• When the virtual PNF sets the baro after the PF has set it on the PF's EFIS (2 second delay).
• When a real-weather situ is loaded (within 12 seconds of situ start).

But even if these features would overwrite your injection, they wouldn't do this instantly. I don't know what to say. Are you sure your system injects the data correctly?

Another possible solution: Do you use the original knob or an infinite rotary encoder? If you use an infinite rotary encoder, you could send rotary events to PSX with this one:

Qh136="TurnStbyBaro"; Mode=DELTA; Min=-16; Max=16;


Regards,

The braking effect may be modelled. I can't remember. I'll check.

In PSX this trick won't trigger any malfunctions anyway. What kind of damage could I add? The quote refers to Atlas Air. Atlas Air use PSX for pilot training; I don't know if this trick is a standard procedure there. It might be bizarre if PSX will now simulate nose wheel damage when this trick is being applied for a longer period of time :-)

Not a good idea. And you would have to hold the tiller all the time or it will re-centre. Puts strain on stuff, and you've only got one nosewheel!

That would possibly make sense - I'm on an M1
