TPOD offbalancing plane on station 4-6

[Kuna]

Hello,

 

Whenever I got TPOD on stations 4 or 6 [the plane is stable with no input on stick (f.e. trimmed correctly or with no trim needed)] and when I'm using pitch up or down - plane moves left or right depending on type of pitch (it seems more like a yaw movement with slight or none roll).

 

Using latest OB, T16000 with TWCS.

 

No wind.

 

I set big deadzones on rudder control's axis (using TWCS for this) and grip twist (using for wheel brakes).

 

As standard I'm doing cold start with autostart procedure.

 

Problem is for me whenever I try f.e. to pitch down for bombing or even more for landing (especially on carrier - it constantly shakes plane left/right in low alt/speed).

 

When I take off TPOD and try once again the mission the difference (f.e. on carrier landing) in stability is HUGE.

 

I assume this could be logical and normal due to the weight of TPOD and offbalance it causes but can you please give some ideas or tricks what to do to minimize the flight stability issues.

I don't think there's an easy answer that you seem to be looking for.

 

The answer is just 'use the stick to fly the plane', if it's rolling right, then push the stick left.

TPOD on or not, what i personaly do, when i launch, i do the usual offset from BRC, fly below 500 ft up to 7 nm then i head for my course, on that 7 nm leg i usualy take the time to trim my bird, same when delivery ordonance, once it drops your bird gets off balanced, so i retrim, i do the same when going back to the carrier or before the break and overhead pass the carrier. Dnno how the real pilots does in RL, i might do it all wrong, but i do it this way on my side. Remember, having a TPOD on on side, is almost like having a GBU-12 (seems to almost weight the same in DCS) on one side only, i'm pretty sure the aircraft would bank the side of the GBU.
