Saturday at 12:53 PM1 day I don't know how this passed testing, but on the current patch, the L1011 wildly changes the EPR on TM/VNAV climb and the aircraft will literally go into a 1000ft or greater descent during VNAV climb to catch the speed it's trying to climb at. Not only that, once the aircraft is level in cruise, it descends AND climbs anywhere from 500 to 1000 feet as it tries to maintain speed (I guess??). It literally cannot maintain level flight. Guys, this is bad. The TM mode is completely unusable.
4 hours ago4 hr Author I decided to take another crack at it and see if I had messed something up, or if my moza AB9 was causing issues, but no it's not. Here's a screenshot of a 2000ft descent during the climb phase... My Moza software has all FFB trimming and autopilot following off, so it's not adding input to the aircraft while it's in autopilot.
3 hours ago3 hr To my eye, this actually appears to showcase two problems with the aircraft systems that I've previously noticed.(1) Either the stabilizer trim is too slow to respond to necessary inputs commanded by the autopilot, the autopilot simply commands these inputs too gradually, or the autopilot starts commanding these inputs too late; it might be a combination of all three. This also results in, for example, the aircraft overshooting the 250-knots-below-10,000-ft limit by 10 knots or more in the acceleration phase of climbout, just after takeoff.(2) When using the GPS for navigation, the GPS commands turns too late, and the autopilot usually doesn't seem to command enough bank angle at speeds of more than ~200 knots to make said turns. These issues combined result in the aircraft overshooting the turns, as seen in your screenshot above (note the right bank the aircraft is making in an attempt to get back on the GPS track). The sharper the turn and the higher the speed, the worse this problem appears to be.The descent here is not something I've seen before, but it could be due to problems with the flight model, which I seem to recall the iniBuilds team is in the process of adjusting based on previous feedback from other forum users. Figuring out how to change the flight model in ways that make it realistic in all phases of flight is quite difficult though; I've previously made a flight model mod for another aircraft, so I know how tedious and time-consuming it can be to figure out what to change and by how much. In my case, it involved a lot of trial and error. So I hope iniBuilds will have those changes made and released soon, but I'm not counting on it. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by zbrainlezz
1 hour ago1 hr Exactly the same here. I'm just going to make sure I don't have any conflicting control bindings, but I'm about to uninstall.
