Taxi control

Postby ivormills » Mon Aug 06, 2007 2:09 am

I normally fly 737/A320, when I taxi I use the keyboard (ins/enter). I find annoying that even the shortest tap on the keys creates too large a change in direction, it is not slight or progressive. I have one plane that does not have this problem, an Idf 320, but my Idf 319 does.
I assume because of this that the keyboard responce can be adjusted. I have checked both configs and air files but cannot seem to find an entry that affects this.
Any help would be appreciated.

You might take a look at the [keyboard_response] section in the aircraft config. Both the default 737 and A320 have that section in them.

Thanks for your reply Jon

Yes I found a line in the 320 config that refered to keyboard response. This was not in the 319 config so I pasted it in, still the same problem :-[

Hmmm, I am not sure what else to tell you. Maybe someone else might have a better answer.

Good luck,

You could the alter air file "343 Rudder" Center section "X = 0" lessen the "Y" either side of this to reduce the rudder effect just +/- of Center

Make a Backup

I guess this is linked to the Nose / Tail Wheels

It could be that max deflection for the nose gear is a greater angle in one than the other.

Check contact point.0 or the "center gear" angle of deflection.  Keeping it less than 45 degrees will help.
