This may be my inexperience but on the ground if I view the plane from behind and apply rudder, it is not proportional. It seems to apply and then bounce back. It seems to do it in a deliberate way. Is this some special kind of rudder action?

The Baron has a yaw damper. Look at the autopilot panel and set "YD" to off.
In flight the yaw damper helps to reduce the dutch roll, a swinging motion of the aircraft that is a little uncomfortable for passengers. On the ground the yaw damper can't dampen that because the rudder doesn't get enough airflow. For that reason the YD is usually set off prior to landing and only engaged in the air. -
They have made the mobile version rudder self cancelling since about the past two or three updates. God knows why. It might have been supposed to improve over sensitive nose wheel steering? I hadn't noticed it in PC.
Just posted after you Jan! Is that why the mobile Airbus 380 has apparent adverse yaw? If it banks it will not yaw into a turn for a few seconds.

The fly by wire currently does not really coordinate the turn. It maintains zero yaw rate which is bad for entering the turn.

Great thanks. I suspected it was deliberate.
