[REPORTED] A-10C Roll Induced Side Slip


EasyEB

Recommended Posts

Since update 1.5.6.3690 the A-10C has become sluggish and more unstable when turning or making sharp maneuvers.

 

The plane acts as if the center of gravity has been pushed back and the plane sways back and forth when making sharp maneuvers.

 

This is related to the altitude hold issue reported here, as both were introduced at the same time and is possibly related to each other: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=185536

 

But even though the autopilot altitude hold issue was resolved, the introduced swaying remains.

Ok, here are tracks from version 1.5.6.1938.247 where the swaying is not present, and version 1.5.6.4546.280 where the swaying is present.

 

I also shot video of the two version where I try to execute the same maneuver so the swaying is comparable.

 

In the videos, note the swaying of the aircraft when banking in to a turn, and when straightening out of a turn. Also note how long it takes for the gun cross to stabilize after rolling in on the X on the ground.

 

DCS version 1.5.6.1938.247 - before the swaying was introduced

 

 

DCS version 1.5.6.4546.280 - after the swaying was introduced

 

 

See tracks from the two versions in the attached files.

 

No mods used.

No input is made other than the stick.

The same patch that broke the ATT Hold also did this, IIRC. They fixed the ATT Hold, but I think this oscillation is caused by the yaw SAS channel being disabled even though you have the switched turned on. Seems like they still haven't fixed that yet.

Try seeing if there's any difference with the SAS switches on or off.

 

It sounds like a yaw SAS problem but your comment about the apparent CG shift makes me think there's an issue with the pitch SAS as well.

DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule.

 

In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

Keyboard can Easily cause stalling, the up/down keys act as trim IIRC so the elevators will not reset to neutral on release.

 

Will give A-10C a Rough Flight and Record tracks and report if needed.
