Loss of nosewheel steering on landing
-
The Blacksquare Caravan is an amazing addition to the hangar, but something I've noticed is the loss of nosewheel steering upon landing. I've checked the rudder axis and nosewheel steering axis. On start up and departure nosewheel steering is fine but upon landing the nose wheel steering is gone and differential braking seems to not help at all, no assists are turned on. Any help would be appriciated because I love flying the Caravan and when this happens it makes it very frustrating. Kind regards.

The only thing that could affect nose wheel steering is the integrated rudder lock. One would think it difficult to activate in flight (given that it's controlled by a small lever on the exterior of the tail), but have you checked the tablet to see if it's activated? It should deactivate anytime the control column is pulled up towards the aft, just as in the real aircraft. Let me know if this seems to be the problem from the tablet.

Just a personal observation on this.
When i bought the baron and bonanza packages and did my first flights. The same happened to me.What i noticed was that on my yoke profile in controll settings, i had "set nosewheel limit" mapped for the piaggio 180 on a button.
Maby i pressed that in flight.After i removed it on a new profile i never had this issue ever again. I only had the locked steering issue on day 1 of owning these planes and it has never happened again since.
This is on msfs 2020.Maby it helps.
