GAS Ryan ST Released! (payware)

To Grayrider: If I understand your problem correctly, I don't think it's the contact points. On this particular plane, at least on my install, the autorudder doesn't work while the plane is on the ground or on the water. You can see this if you look at the rudder and/or water rudders while on ground or water, and just move the joystick alone; nothing happens even with autorudder on.

In order to get the rudder and water rudders to work, you need to use dedicated rudder controls, be it buttons on the keyboard, twistgrip on your joystick, proper rudder pedals, or like I use, one of the paddles on the game box controller I'm using in lieu of a joystick at the present time.

Hope that helps.

You are correct with the water rudders. I experimented with it yesterday and added the values to assign a turn radius to the contact points for the rudders (see below) in bold
[contact_points]
point.0=4.000, 5.55, -3.525, -5.80, 1068, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.25, 2.00, 0.70, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.0
point.1=4.000, 5.55, 3.525, -5.80, 1068, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.25, 2.00, 0.70, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000, 0.000, 0.0 //7.590, 3.525, -5.800
point.2=4.000, -8.400, -3.600, -3.90, 1068, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.25, 2.00, 0.70, 0.000, 0.000, 2.000, 0.000, 0.0 //aft lt
point.3=4.000, -8.400, 3.600, -3.90, 1068, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.25, 2.00, 0.70, 0.000, 0.000, 3.000, 0.000, 0.0 //aft rt
point.4=5.000, -8.650, -3.525, -3.461, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 180.00, 0.00, 0.00, 1.500, 1.500, 0 //left water rudder
point.5=5.000, -8.650, 3.525, -3.461, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 180.00, 0.00, 0.00, 1.500, 1.500, 0 //right water rudder

I activated auto rudder and there was no difference. Then I assigned a keyboard command to the rudder for right and left and it worked fine. My suggestion is use the keyboard for water taxi and you'll be all set.
