I am unable to control steering on the take off roll trying different settings in yaw sensitivity and yaw augmentation.

Question

When using the Xplane C172, it is not controllable on the runway during the take off roll. I am using VKB rudder pedals which I have calibrated. I have tried various options in the yaw and yaw augmentation settings but cannot get realistic take off roll behaviour. This happens at all speeds.

Hi imurph,

I am not with Laminar Research; just a flight simmer.

When you purchased the pedals did you receive installation software?  If so, have you installed that software?  If so have you attempted to callibrate the pedals within X-plane as well? 

If you were using Logitec (ex Saitek) pedals my advice would be to "totally" delete the saitek software and reinstall and calibrate the pedals only through X-Plane.  This is the only way the saitek pedals will work in a satisfactory manner.

Try this same process with the pedals you have acquired.  It may work.

Good luck

Glenn
