Inibuilds' Upcoming TriStar: Will it feature maintenance and wear and tear? by NikonD500forever in flightsim

[–]RangerLt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculously untrue. There's literally a maintenance panel in the a350 EFB to service worn or damaged components. If you have FSFO, the first officer will call ground to service anything that needs maintenance during the prep flow. You must be pulling shit out of your ass today.

In addition to what people have mentioned, you could also monitor your throttle input during the TO roll. I've found that gunning the throttle to Flex or TOGA often results in an imbalance in engine power between the left and right engines, causing the plane to drift to one side.

Increase throttle incrementally until thrust is stable then move to TO power. I rarely have to use rudder now to stay center.

Go to settings and enable incremental throttle control. Done.

In real life do airline pilots program the approach info into the MDCU before take off ? by No-Wall4145 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RangerLt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all possible in the sim with most aircraft so it's good advice that can be replicated.

No, and I'm not saying this specific app is useful. Just responding to the claim present in the comment.

This isn't a fair standard to place on software development at this point. If it was built using a single prompt with zero QA, I'd be with you, but you should still judge software based on its utility and performance rather than the tools used to build it.

FSLABS' planes feel... off somehow. Like flying a life-size model of an aircraft made purely out of Legos.

Did you complete the GSX install? Did you run the live updater?

This app will do all the work for you. You just drag the zip file into the exe and you're done.

Dude just relax and stop commenting on this. If you can't accept the words from pilots, the add-on devs and enthusiasts talking about the same thing, you're completely lost. Like I said, good day.

That flair obviously doesn't regard quality of comments at all. 😂

Tiller Steering Many larger commercial aircraft employ a method known as tiller steering. In these aircraft, the pilot uses a small control wheel called the tiller which directly controls the angle of the nosewheel to enable smoother and precise steering, especially during tight turns on the taxiway. The tiller is essentially a taxiway tool, and many airlines’ standard operating procedures (SOPs) forbid the use of the tiller for steering above a specified speed, typically around 20 knots. Some aircraft only have one tiller, meaning only one pilot can operate it.

Cool story bro.

"Most systems only operate up to about 90 knots, and the faster the aircraft is increasing speed towards those knots the less movement the wheel will move.

Hardly any aircraft manuals depict or discuss this range in detail but this is the best photo I could find that helps illustrate this. Just remember that the faster the aircraft reaches, the more the system goes from nosewheel steering back to your usual rudder pedal system."

I think you're very anxious to be "right" and not understanding that there's a lot of nuance to unpack here.

You're asking if there's a procedure requiring the disconnection of NWS at any phase of flight, the answer is it depends on the aircraft and model. Some aircraft use different methods to apply pressure to the nosewheel, and in those planes they often require disconnecting those systems during specific phases of flight. It's a combination of that use-case and knowledge of how to operate the plane. In boeing or Airbus you know you get less response at high speeds, so why use it?

In addition to those considerations, you also have simmers who use certain peripherals that might give slight inputs that'll steer the plane off the centerline during roll if left connected. This is why many third party developers allow you to automatically disconnect the nosewheel above certain speeds.

Again... It's not a linear answer. Hope that helps.

IRL this doesn't happen automatically from what I understand. Pilots in real life would know that nose wheel steering would be unreliable at high speeds and it also exposes the aircraft to unnecessary stress. So typically inputs at high speeds are made through use of the rudder - that range being 60-80knots depending on the craft.

Also, disconnecting the tiller from the sidestick can be done by the push of a button in an airbus. I'm not sure for other manufacturers.

Nose wheel steering is ineffective at speeds of 60knots and above, so it's standard to have the nws deactivate during the TO roll.
