Nosewheel Steering - Thrustmaster Airbus TA320 Copilot Edition
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2024 3:22 pm
Hello Ricardo,
I need some help in regard to the nosewheel steering on this beast. Is there a certain sensitivity setting recommendation? I am really having a struggle with navigation at major airports. In the meantime, I am heavily using my brakes and my Left and Right throttle to increase the turning ratio just to follow the taxi lines. I can understand high speeds will not help so I am maintaining a 12-15 knot speed on the taxiways.
I disengaged a lot of features on my Thrustmaster since I was worried about conflicts for perhaps a possible cause. I just have the basic axis settings assigned since my other Hardware devices control the throttles, rudder, brakes etc.. For Throttles I use TCS ENG 1&2 also by Thrustmaster. For Brakes and Rudder, I use Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals.
I wanted to take off this morning from a lovely sunrise at KLAX to journey to PHNL.
My gate was A159 and per ATC I was instructed to depart runway 6L. I stated to turn on C10 to C then turned to K. It was there my turn was very wide and I collided with a structure that reset the flight.
(My flight plan - KLAX/06L N0482F360 TRTON2 FICKY R578 FIZEL/N0487F380 R578 FITES DCT LNY SHLAE1 PHNL/08L)
I wanted to share this with you since I am not a fan of using my throttles to turn. I typically only wish to do so when an engine outage.
Is this being looked into? Has anyone else experienced what I have been experiencing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and development to enhance my sim experience.
Blue Skies,
Todd
