Rudder and stabilator positions stuck on surface position indicator

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

Since v1.0.5 it seems that the rudder and stab positions have been stuck at L30/full down respectively and do not seem to be responding to control inputs; only the ailerons and spoilers' position indicators seem to be working at the moment. I don't believe this issue was present in v1.0.4. For reference, the screenshot attached was taken at cruise flight.

Just to add to this. I use the Auto FE and he sets the hydraulics. On the little caution panel a bunch of hydraulic related items flash up briefly. You will also notice the brake pressure bleed away to zero with each application of brakes. If you look at pressure in system A and D it often shows no pressure.

So the fun part happens on a long-ish taxi (happened yesterday). You line up, press go and press full send on your 226,000kg plane out of Melbourne for Tokyo. A few feet down the runway ALL hydraulic pressure leaves you, now with no working rudder/ailerons. You quickly turn to the FE panel and hit both PTU switches and hope you get some pressure back. Halfway across a grass field the pressure comes back with rudder and ailerons, rotate and airborne.

When the auto-FE sets hydraulics, don't believe him and check yourself. Make sure A, B, C and D all show pressure. Have now done an all clear of all caches (WASM etc) and doing another test flight, looks like all 4 systems got pressure this time. 1.0.5
