hi there,

even though I haven't been able to get the F 86 Tac Pac aircraft flying as of now, I still think it is a great looking piece of work!

My problem is that I can not fly the plane because the rudder doesn't move. The other control surfaces like: aileron, elevator and flaps work fine. It's just the rudder which is stuck.

what could be the problem?

thanx!

Have you tried calibrating your controller?

the odd thing is that on all the other aircraft the rudder works fine. It's only on the f 86 Tac Pac. At first I thought it had to do with Tac Pac, but after I deinstalled it from my computer the problem still exists. I've also deinstalled the F 86 and reinstalled it but no luck.

Rather odd because nothing specific gets done with the rudder. Are you using P3D v3.2 or v2.5 or FSX?

Similar problem here. There's a wee bit of left rudder which causes the plane to roll to the right. I cannot trim ailerons in the aircraft. For the rudder issues, I have to use the left dash panel and click the rudder trim to the right. Even then, she wants to roll to the right then. Very difficult to get trimmed, if at all.

I find it odd that you need to trim the rudder at all unless you are carrying an asymmetric load. That said, the rudder is purely default simulation. No bypassing of the flight control system unlike the ailerons and the elevators. So if you can get the rudder to work for default aircraft it should work in the F-86.
