Uncontrollable on takeoff with Auto Tiller Disconnect enabled


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas One which uses the Z axis of the joystick to control the tiller (Rudder control tiller set to yes)

With Auto Tiller Disconnect enabled, when I start my takeoff roll and try to steer the airplane on the runway, the plane suddenly turns hard right. It keeps wanting to turn right, and I am unable to straighten the plane out any further. Turning off Auto Tiller Disconnect seems to keep the aircraft on the runway for me.

The manual says that Auto Tiller Disconnect is meant to disconnect the tiller input above 70% N1 for smoother control, so this behavior doesn't seem right, at least for me.

To follow up on this, with auto tiller disconnect DISABLED I tried to take off again. There was some drift on the runway as I got up to higher speed, but I was able to stabilize down the centerline and get into the air.

However, upon touchdown and rollout the plane immediately veered off to the right again and I could not straighten the plane out on the runway. An unfortunate ending to what was otherwise a nice flight.

I'll be following for any updates, but will be away from my PC for a few weeks.

Reporting the same issue on landing - when hitting reverse thrust and brakes above at least ~70kts-120kts (Ground Speed), the aircraft veers in the opposite direction that I'm pointing my input. When slowing down however below at least ~70kts, the aircraft starts pointing in the correct direction of my input. I was curious so I started doing test runs on a runway at least 30 times... I think the programming logic is set up to disconnect auto tiller or nose wheel steering  at a high ground speed b/c when I brake manually and reverse thrust, I noticed that my inputs have to go in the opposite direction like mentioned above until I hit a low enough speed where my inputs will go in the correct direction.

Dumb but valid question: do you have all assists disabled?

Omg, I'm dumb - you're right. I didn't realize I had Auto-Rudder on for some reason. I turned it off now and tested and the aircraft followed my inputs correctly. Giving you a huge air hug - thank you!!

Confirmed here before my away time starts, thanks DroneSim. I'm not sure how this got ticked for me (maybe because I'm still getting my feet wet in FS2024 compared to FS2020).

Inibuilds team, since I've heard nothing of this until now, and there's no mention about piloting assistance in the A350 manual from what I can see, could I please suggest you add this to your manual or FAQs in the future. Some may not realize this to be a standard operating procedure, as it is for other aircraft out there. Thank you for your consideration 🙂
