maxTRX Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 After the latest update (2.5.4.28841) I noticed a slight nose up attitude maintained after runway touch down without any stick input. Before this update (if I remember correctly:smilewink:) the nose wheel would touch the runway fairly quickly after the mains even with a slight pull on the stick... which I thought was a correct behavior. What hasn't changed is the PA landing AOA maintained after lift off when doing touch and go's or bolters. That's where my question pops in: Shouldn't landing AOA transition to smooth 12 AOA capture initially and stable pitch up afterwards. Throttles shouldn't be slammed back with simultaneous extreme stick forward to climb and level out at 600 feet for instance. I made a short clip of T&G without any longitudinal stick input until 60 deg nose up after lift off. https://youtu.be/VjbrlEXECdY
aaron886 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Jet is trimmed for 8.1 (or whatever you trimmed for.) As you accelerate, it pitches up. If you stopped accelerating at about 140, you would probably have settled at 1g.
maxTRX Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 ...If you stopped accelerating at about 140, you would probably have settled at 1g. This requires pulling throttles back at a "slightly" low altitude right after bolter while pushing the stick almost all the way forward... I do it all the time in the sim `cause I have to. Hornet's FCS logic is not that simple (from what I gather). I remember reading or hearing somewhere that as soon as any 2 wheels hit the deck the PA approach AOA trim resets to launch stab trim (to capture initial 12 AOA hands off then tapers off) without having to hit T/O trim button and raising the flaps to half. It would be nice to hear from someone who knows how FCS works in C/D Hornets. My resources are currently unreachable:smilewink:
