[ Closed ] JD320 Airliner ver 3.1r1,r2 WIN/MAC 64 bit (X-Plane 11) (Page 7 of 9)

I've no comparison to the A330, but for me, the shining and reflections look very realistic. So I wouldn't say that there should be more of them. I will check the reflections of the nav lights the next time I'm flying.

I totally agree, that it would be nice the see the pilots from the outside. In addition, a copilot would be nice as well.

Greetings all,
I think this is a case of good ole pilot induced oscillation. I believe it has to do with the aircraft being a tad too sensitive. I'm a real world pilot, but I don't fly airbuses. I look at this issue with pilot experience and aircraft knowledge. I've flown heavy, medium and light jets giving me a good feel of flight controls across the range. In general, jets have a heavy control feel for purpose. 3000 PSI available to flight control surfaces makes a serious recipe for disaster. To prevent over controlling or damaging aircraft, artificial feel systems, springs and cartridges were added in the flight controls to simulate air loads on the flight controls. Though aircraft are sensitive and responsive, the resistance from the feel systems make the yoke feel rigid and requires some force for inputs. Fly by wire introduces a different aspect, but the same is implemented through flight computers. For example, the C-17 in the USAF. Like most jets, slower speed regimes require more control input. At higher speeds, less control input is required due to the higher air loads. During slow flight, control authority was adequate. During air refueling, the control was too sensitive at air refueling speeds. I've watched a few C-17s take gas when I flew kC-10s. The aircraft would constantly oscillate in the pitch and roll axis. The flight controls and spoilers would constantly flutter as the receiver tried to manage the sensitivity while approaching and maintaining the contact position. A flight computer air refueling mode was added to reduce sensitivity during refueling. After the mode, refueling was significantly easier and it was noticeable from the rear end of the tanker.

Getting to the JAR airbus. The real airbus seems to have a less sensitive system in regard to JAR. This can be seen by watching the side stick in cockpit videos. In smooth air, you can see large inputs, but small response from the aircraft. During bumpy approaches, you will at times see full side stick input as the pilot works to keep a stable platform on approach. Even in the flare, you see a lot of aft position for a maneuver that only takes a couple of degrees. You will see that the real aircraft is a little sluggish, purposely so. Just imagine if an aircraft was this sensitive, would be very uncomfortable for passengers. Trust me, I know from years of teaching guys how to air refuel. New guys tend to PIO alot until they become comfortable.

In xplane 10, you could adjust the sensitivity, but you had to change it back when flying other aircraft. In xplane 11, adjustments don't seem to have an effect.

There is a lot going on in your log. One thing I saw is that you use Airport-Navigator. I have always had problems using this plugin together with X-Life so I never do. Also, SoundMaxx seems to have a problem. And there were at least a couple of incidents with downloading METARs. Maybe someone can figure out the issues by examining your OSX crash log.
For now, I would recommend removing Airport-Navigator and SoundMaxx. I use BSS sounds with the busses and it is brilliant.

Hello guys. Recently bought xp11 and as I have done in xp10 I modified the gear deflections of a320, so that they're a bit more compressed. However, I found that it crashed SASL after I edited the plane in planemaker. Is there anyone with similar problem after editing the plane in pm? Thanks

Oh... So from this can I assume that there is no way of changing anything in planemaker? That's a pity

I believe this has to do with copy protection. The aircraft is proprietary and thus is protected from unauthorized changes. If you want change it you need to convince JAR to do it.

And to make sure, I did contact Jar support on this, and have been explained by dron that they somehow can't achieve this. I just don't know why?

I thought you'd say that. I did try to load the plane fully and couldn't get close to it.

Excuse me? Do I not have the right to adress problems which I might notice through time? Come on, be mature for Christ sake...

Sure. Just the way dimkzr said that was a bit arrogant.

Comparing these 2 pictures, I don't see any differences

i have this version of a320.There is a problem with navigation. The aircraft does not faithfully follow the route from the flight plan.
