Gate-5 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) When I engage or disengage stabilize mode the stick quickly jerks to the right and back before returning to the center position. Is this supped to be that way? Looks like a filter that has to settle first and I'm wondering how this system is done in the real thing. Edited October 10, 2014 by Gate-5
Ravellwolf Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I've noticed that too, although I've found that when flying straight and level, it's disengagement doesn't cause the brief jerk in the stick. My guess is that it's trying to settle the roll, yaw and pitch with a feedback loop that's too aggressive, at least initially.
JorgeIII Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Well before the patch this Sau mode worked as the Path autopilot mode in the A10c. Very usefull but I dont know if it was realistic. Now it only makes the mig bank right a few degrees and then pitch angel starts changing slowly, i cant find any use to it. AKA TANGO-117. DCS Modules: most of them, proficiency: only a few at a time. The most crucial aspect of a simulator is its realistic physics and precise aerodynamics, accurately reflecting all flight conditions.
Gate-5 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah, really seems like some strange initial values that cause it to overshoot. Now it only makes the mig bank right a few degrees and then pitch angel starts changing slowly, i cant find any use to it. It only dampens the pilots inputs, which is what it actually should do. There's an "attitude hold" control you can (only) activate when stabilize is on, which is probably doing what you're looking for.

xxJohnxx Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 stabilization should be the "attitude hold". no extra mode in real MiG Yes, it should probably be like a modern day stability augmentation system. You point the aircraft in some direction and when you let go of the stick the aircraft keeps maintaining pitch and roll. Such things are always a bit difficult to simulate though, because most people don't have Force Feedback sticks and therefore it gets a bit more difficult to implement properly. Similar to the Ka-50 trimmer / AP combination. It should be easy to use, but when you don't have a FF stick, it is a bit more demanding than it should be.

Gate-5 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for clarification, interesting read :thumbup:. I hope there will be some tweaking once the more important things have been addressed.

Eldur Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 stabilization should be the "attitude hold". no extra mode in real MiG Which it isn't at all. Still have to trim all day long while having SAU stabilizer on. At the moment it's just a dampener.
