I have a flight sim setup with separate controls for the rudder and nosewheel steering tiller, and in the L1011, I've noticed that the nosewheel steering turns much too far with rudder pedal input. If the L1011 is anything like other simulated airliners I've experienced, in setups like mine, rudder input should cause the nosewheel to turn a maximum of roughly 10 degrees in either direction, and the nosewheel steering sensitivity should dampen to zero (or nearly so) at higher speeds to make it easier to control during takeoff and landing. Instead, it turns through almost its full range of motion when the aircraft is moving at slow speeds, and doesn't sufficiently dampen when accelerating for takeoff or decelerating during landing, making it quite difficult to keep the aircraft on the centerline.
I'm not sure whether fixing this issue would require a change in the plane's code somewhere, or the addition of a "separate rudder from tiller" toggle in the PFB, or both, but it needs to be fixed before I fly the L1011 any more, as it makes it frustrating to control during takeoff and landing. Real shame, because I like it so far otherwise.
If this somehow turns out to be a setup issue or skill issue on my part, I do apologize, but I've all but ruled out that possibility because I have no such problems with any other airliner.
