[ Closed ] ver 2.4 beta 4 WIN/MAC 64 bit (Page 3 of 8)

JAR: Maybe a stupid question, excuse my lack of knowledge on how to make virtual aircrafts:

My gut feelin tells me the A330s FBW is better and less "noddy" than this A320, althought I cant say this for sure (yet), I am doing more investigations on this. BUT, is there a different FBW system for the A330 as opposed to this A320(beta)? Or are they the same and the differenes I get are only due to heavier weight and different/bigger airframe and air dynamics? Maybe less impact of wind...

Good day,
Could this little nod you are talking about  be when the aircraft is at FL10 and needs to pick-up speed for the accent to the prescribed FL set by the UFMC so, the nose nods down to pick up airspeed and then once the airspeed is achieved the aircraft then goes back to resuming the climb to altitude. I have only seen this behavior in the aircraft and hope this explains the issue you are having.
Nevertheless, this also, happens at the FL 5,000 or the transition flight level, and this is the only time I have seen the nod even with a wind or cross-wind of 30 -45 kt. which is an exaggerated wind speed.

Good day,
Just took a look at your video and yes there is an issue and I do see what the issue is you are flying manually I do not fly manually   unless there is a reason to this like, at take-off.

Nevertheless, aircraft is meant to be flown using the AP until you are what about to land I would have to read again the manual but I usually do not take it out of AP until I have reverse thrust the engines on the ground and applied the breaks then the AP automatically disengages and then you go on about your way.

Since, in the video I see the AP is not in gauged then yes you will get the wind, and other abnormal behaviors because you are not flying, FBW you have all the forces working against you.

I have had worse trouble when trying to manually fly the 777 and even just try to take-off you would get a wild bank-angle that you cannot recover from so, in fact you are doing good for what you are trying to achieve since this happens with the larger aircraft.

Look closely at the W/V display on the ND, the wind speed is constant but the direction is shearing about all over the place. Try the approach again but just turn down the wind shearing and see if the aircraft handles better. :-)

X-Plane has had problems with weather ever since X-Plane 10 came out. Were you using XP "real Wx"?, another plugin or did you set the Wx?
Also IMHO, as you were fighting against the XP's unrealistic rate of change in wind shear direction and that caused you  to have ended up over controlling the aircraft. (rolling left then right, over and over then pitching up and down and finally diving into the runway).
So it looks like a combination of things caused the problem,  IMHO that is. ;-)

"Brakes hot" Warning does not appear after RTO, despite brakes are over 600°C.

Good day,
one last thing I would like you to try re-start the computer, restart XP but then disconnect your internet connection leaving it off during the whole flight, before you do anything else and then start your usual process of Flight Planning ... and flight set-up and let's see what happens...

I will try restarting the machine, disconnecting WiFi, and do a full flight. Tomorrow Thanks for all the suggestions!! I will report back.

I can't activate 2.4b4 on X-Plane 10.40b2. Activation window does not show up.

Good day,
some info on your computer system could help but when you don't give any info one can't help you but i would ask you to see if your up-dates are done like service -packs and your VB-C++ ...

hope this stars you off in the right direction...

New flight A320, serious nodding again... This time, connected to the internet and IVAO, although I dont see the connection. New video (quick) showing violent sideways nodding on departure.

Video here. (ready 15:50z according to Vimeo)

Wind direction change like crazy at this video!

You are right, JAR. Could this have something to do with the IVAO connection maybe...? Or some bogus winds..
