ILS26L Posted Tuesday at 04:40 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:40 PM (edited) I know the real life aircraft is sensitive to the deflection of the control surface in both pitch and roll, and the plane feels great in that regard in calm conditions. But is it supposed to be this sensitive to weather? Any time there is any sort of wind (even when it is below 10 knots) the plane will start to randomly yaw left/right even when the direction of the wind remains constant. It's a very strange feeling that i've not experienced in any other aircraft, and I find it difficult to believe an aircraft this heavy would be this sensitive to <10 knot wind. I am using the WinWing Ursa Minor Airbus joystick and the sensitivity settings are all at default. The Z-axis (rudder) on the joystick is locked and I did not even bind it in the sim as I have rudder pedals. This is in MSFS 2024. Edited Tuesday at 04:56 PM by ILS26L
CptPaul Posted Tuesday at 07:09 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:09 PM Have you tried to add a dead zone to either your joystick or rudder pedals at all? Just to alleviate any coincidence that it could be hardware related?

Only happens in live weather (in the clear sky preset, this doesn't happen at all.) It looks like this is the intended behavior of the aircraft in the sim, but I find it hard to believe that this is the way the actual A350 behaves.
ILS26L Posted Wednesday at 04:11 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 04:11 AM It feels like the yaw damper isn't working as intended and the plane is experiencing a "Dutch roll." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll
