Pitch up jerk after takeoff + roll axis on final

[solodrakban]

Using the most recent A350 build on MSFS 2024, whole fs is stock with A350 being the single addon I get this problem where after selecting gear up and pitching to follow SRS the pitch tends to "jump" rapidly from about +15 to +18 degrees in less than second just a few moments after the gear comes up (sound of gear retracting complete). I have been able to reproduce this on all five flights ive done over the past week. Any ideas? Seems like the a/c goes into some other flight mode when the gear state is "UP".  Another thing which might not be a bug is that the aircraft seems to be behaving strange in the roll axis on approach causing me to overcorrect and fightning the aircraft all the way down to the ground in a very unsatisfying manner, never had this issue in any other sim or ac (fsx, msfs, msfs 24, xp10/11/12) using a single joystick as a controller.

Hi Solod,

Any chance you can provide a video of this behavior? Doing some testing at the moment to see if I can re-create but in the meantime it's always helpful to have a reference of exactly what is happening 🙂

I’m experiencing the same issue.
If the autopilot (AP) isn’t engaged early, the aircraft suddenly pitches up.
And if the AP is engaged under this condition, when disengaging it during landing, the pitch also suddenly increases—it’s really scary…

Yes, I think this is just an issue in general with ini aircraft, it just will immediately do a pitch up jerk immediately after takeoff and it's really annoying. It genuinely makes me question if this flight model stuff is really verified comprehensively by pilots, it would be great if you guys could source data like fenix has done for their flaring model (with the digital flight data recorder if it's possible to do that if you see it viable, please consider it as I would really like ini to be a really good contender since you guys are really good at modelling but lack in other areas)

Another thing I would like to add is how the aircraft floats which seems to be a massive problem for me even with heavier weights, I don't know if it's the meh physics of msfs 24 or it's an ini flight model problem but I hope further advancements are made in this area as well in system fidelity in future aircraft.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to record my next flight, the issue is that you would need to see my joystick input as well (otherwise it just looks like im pulling hard aft on the stick at that point in time) so I'll see what I can do. What is happening is that I'm keeping a constant back pressure on my physical joystick to pitch up towards the flight director and it suddenly pitches up on its own more than I command just for a split second which is about right after the gear has retracted and the aircraft is at about 15 degrees of nose up pitch. All of this is happening with the AP OFF while pitching up slowly to follow FD for NAV and SRS, I realise that I also always set the accel to 3000ft instead of the default 1000ft the recent flights, so the aircraft is in NAV SRS with manual flex (AT on) when this happens, hope you can manage to reproduce this!

 

EDIT: I purchased the A340 today (amazing addon!) and it is also showing the same nose up behavior on takeoff
