please help! rudder problems

[tedberchtold]

i am using saitek x52's with fsx and for some reason my rudder barely works while in flight? its fine on the ground with normal rudder throw but as soon as im airborne i get maybe 10 to 15% throw?
all my settings have been checked both in game and with saitek console!! i have everything turned up with no null zones

Check the Realism Settings and ensure the automatic rudder is off. Unless this option is disabled, the joystick rudder control works poorly.

If the automatic rudder in the realism setup is not the culprit, then ensure the plane you're flying has not the yaw damper active. That too stops the rudder to be commanded by the joystick.
