friggindead Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 So I've had the F-14 for awhile now and I thought I would get a little more serious with it and do a complete Jester-assisted start today. When it came time to engage the DLC, I didn't get the horizontal tail shift. What am I missing? I followed all the steps up to this point and everything is up and running, but still no clue as to what's up. Thanks for any assistance.
sLYFa Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Flaps are down? DLC is actually on (i.e. inboard spoilers deflected slightly upwards)?. The DLC induced tailshift is really small, just a few degrees. You have to look closely on the gauge. Edit: Upon further reading I found that the current behaviour is indeed incorrect. The stabs should deflect 2.75° TED from theri trimmed position once DLC is selected. With the thumbwheel fully aft, the stabs should return to their trimmed position, while thumbwheel fwd should not change stab trim. Right now, stabs won't move upon selection of DLC. Only pressing the thumbwheel fwd/aft will induce stab displacement. This is incorrect as the behaviour should be as described above for both DFCS and non-DFCS aircraft.

friggindead Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Yes, flaps are down and DLC is engaged. No horizontal tail movement even with thumbwheel actuation. I watched the Jabbers Jester-assisted startup video and it shows the stab movement with DLC activation.
sLYFa Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 No horizontal tail movement even with thumbwheel actuation Hmm strange, works on my side. And the spoilers do deflect up and down with thumbwheel fwd/aft? i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD

Bruce_D Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Are you guys using Open Beta or Release? There may be some differences. Open beta and having no problems with DLC
friggindead Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Open Beta and my step-by-step is Jester assisted startup - when I activate DLC, thumbwheel moves the spoilers as they should. But the gauge and exterior view show no horizontal stab movement. I'll hop on in a few n run through it again but Jester's getting ejected if he fails me again. Thanks guys
