Erratic nose high trim

[Nightmare22]

I'm not 100% sure on the exact circumstances that bring about this situation about but does anyone else have any unexplained trimming issues in that after a series of (less than 4G) turning maneuvers the Harrier will inexplicably pitch nose high. This happens on a completely clean loadout and then involves frantically pitching the stick 80% forward to counteract the over-trim to either try get the autopilot on in which it re-trims itself or manically trim forward before involuntarily doing and "auto loop".

 

I've tried flaps in cruise in case there is an issue with auto flap maneuvers (despite no gauging movement) but still happens

I "think" it may have something to do with the AP/AFC being on at the start of the turns and the AFC not throwing itself off

(do i remember the AFC used to automatically throw itself off when the stick was moved like the ALT hold?) as I'm pretty sure it only happens when in autopilot not disabling it before the turn and I also "think" resetting the AFC does help it but this could be coincidence.

 

Anyone any similar experiences? I'm using a fairly new Warthog stick so no controller issues and doesn't happen on other A/C

Me too. When it becomes a crazy horse I have to put autopilot on and off. But it's very annoying.

It does the same thing to me. If my AFC is on the trim is all over the place. If I disable it I can fly pretty much fine. Which sucks because you kind of need that for your altitude hold autopilot... Makes using the TGP or the DMT and MAV camera a bit more challenging but not impossible.

The ACF will try to correct the stick movement up to a certain point until it disengages. However it will be stuck at the last correction position when it shuts off so if you plan on yanking and banking, make sure to disengage your AFC first before you do that. If you have a stick, I recommend binding the paddle switch.
