This was brought up in a previous topic but the topic suddenly got sidetracked onto the A400 and closed. But it’s still an issue so I want to raise it

I have a great many hours in the A300 on the sim which the A330 was the replacement for. As such, it was meant to feel very similar. But the issue is that it doesn’t and to be specific, it is very hard to hold the centreline/localiser on final due to what feels like a dead zone in the roll axis control. I am using a Thrustmaster Hotas One and my friends who also flies the A300 and A330 on the sim uses the TCA Captains Pack

But we both agree that the aircraft has a dead zone making it go from nothing to a large response - small changes to the aircraft’s roll position are impossible to do, especially on final. I’m not sure what his sensitivity settings are but I fly completely linear with a small 3% dead zone to prevent unintentional inputs

Is this something that could be looked into?

Giving this a bump. The A20N has the same issue. Last week I flew an A320 in a full size training simulator and there is a quite a significant difference in the handling on the roll axis. Nice and smooth compared to the sim where small movements are difficult to make

I’m giving this another bump as I was just on the inibuilds discord and noticed a chat about how this same problem exists in the A350. I’m guessing that it’s an issue with the fly by wire coding in all inibuilds aircraft that really needs sorted
