This update, I noticed the Pitch trim seems to wonder back and forth and the airplane gently pitches up and down while the trim attempts to catch up. Overall autopilot with pitch (including vs) seems too sluggish…the constant pitching up and down is annoying for sure…may want to look into this .

 

also, not sure why, but I was at 87k lbs of fuel (just under 50%) and empty pax/cargo…she feels very “draggy”…almost under powered. Airplane was cleaned up, no flaps, spoilers etc

Can confirm, the autopilot's action on the pitch trim is still too slow to properly hold speed constraints in the climb, among other things. With the recent update, I can also confirm it seems a bit underpowered at normal EPR for most of the climb, but then it feels like it might be able to climb too quickly when holding Mach above ~30k feet.

Do note I have no clue how the real L1011 would've handled, but compared to other sim airliners I've flown (MD-11 my beloved), it seems like there's definitely still some improvement yet to be had. The 1.0.1 update still fixed/improved a lot though. Just a bit of autopilot and flight model work yet to be done before I feel I can add it to my regular rotation.

One major suggestion for iniBuilds: if you haven't already, perhaps try bringing in some help from pilots who flew the real L1011-500 in terms of getting the flight dynamics right. I'm no developer, but I've seen from the results of other airliner projects that it helps a lot to have input from those who really know how the real thing flies.

Agreed…also one more note, holding track fix to fix, she is too slow as well..overshoots and turns back…tends to be VERY slow to react
