Excessive rudder sensitivity during takeoff and landing

Featured Replies

Hi,

I would like to report what seems to be excessive rudder sensitivity.

I'm using Thrustmaster rudder pedals with the default linear sensitivity settings in MSFS 2024. With the A220, even the smallest rudder input produces a very large yaw response. It feels like I barely have to apply any pressure to the pedals before the aircraft starts moving aggressively left or right.

During the takeoff roll, it is very difficult to keep the aircraft on the runway centerline because of this. What feels unusual is that the aircraft doesn't just yaw left or right – it also seems to roll excessively, almost as if it wants to tip over. In some cases, a very small rudder input causes one of the main landing gear wheels to nearly lift off the runway.

I don't experience this behavior with other airliners, such as the Fenix A320, using the exact same hardware and control settings.

Is this the intended and realistic behavior of the A220, or could the rudder response and ground handling be reviewed?

Thank you.

Hello, I had the same problem I used these settings and it works well this applies to other spreader bar as well.

Screenshot attached.

Happy flying

Thanks! I appreciate the suggestion.

However, I'm not really looking for a workaround by changing my control settings. My pedals work perfectly fine with other aircraft, including the Fenix A320, using the same linear sensitivity.

I'm mainly trying to find out whether this is the intended, realistic behavior of the A220, or if the rudder response and ground handling can be reviewed by the developers. I'd prefer to keep my controls at their default settings if that's how the real aircraft should be flown.

Hi,

I do not have this hardware so I wont be able to immediately confirm this however I will ask around. In the meantime I'd recommend also making a post on the Synaptic Discord Server to see if anyone else or developers have encountered this issue. Thank you
