13 hours ago13 hr Hello all! I have a quick question regarding the PEDAL DISC switch on the A430-300. I noticed when using the switch while the airplane is in motion to test the rudder, the airplane still momentarily jolts left and right with the rudder pedal movement, before seemingly remembering it has been disconnected and then stops moving. I am not sure if with the rudder pedal disconnect switch selected there is supposed to be a slight amount of nose yaw, or if the airplane should remain unmoved from its trajectory as the pedals are moved freely. Thank you all so much and any/ all thoughts and ideas are appreciated!
4 hours ago4 hr On the real A330/A340 it's a pushbutton on the tiller, and it only works while you hold it in. It takes nosewheel steering off the pedals and nothing else, so the rudder still deflects as you move them. At taxi speed a full rudder input shouldn't swing the nose much, so a short jolt before it settles sounds more like the sim's steering catching up than intended behaviour. Worth checking whether you're holding it in or just clicking it once.
1 hour ago1 hr I have noticed this behavior on the A380, A350 and A340. I am a Captain on the A320 in real life, and I can say this has been implemented perfectly in the Fenix A320, and I would have no reason to believe the other Airbuses would behave differently. Although the jolt is not exactly perfect at least it is small enough it doesn't really affect your taxi path much.
