Shmegegge 1-1 Aero Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I was having trouble with the AFCS Toggle Switch in a mission, so I hopped in a free flight but it still came up. Whenever I try to turn on the AFCS after trimming the Harrier, the in-game stick starts to move forward, pointing the aircraft at the ground. The only other thing this could be is that my stick's sensor is very sensitive, and I am accidentally toggling the AFCS with a very small input on the flight stick. I have a t.16000m + twcs HOTAS. In the track file, my plane is pointing up and down. The pointing up part is me trying to trim the plane to the horizon. The smooth movement down is when I toggle the AFCS. In the end of the track file, I am sort of fiddling with the trim and the AFCS to see if I am doing something wrong.

Shmegegge 1-1 Aero Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Someone else on the discord seems to be having this issue. It is as though the AFCS switch is resetting trim. Please, I am still waiting for a response. If I am doing something wrong, please tell me. For the time being, I can't fly the Harrier because I am having a lot of trouble doing anything without autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=52d= Skip Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The AFC is borked for some time now (July`ish) but noone seems to bother, thus I have shelved the Harrier for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmegegge 1-1 Aero Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ok, I am glad I am not the only one having issues. I hope this is fixed in the Dec, 16th update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 do either of you have a dead-zone set on your sticks? The AFC compensates for external forces and attempts to keep the aircraft in the attitude and bank it was set. What may be occurring is that the stick is moving ever so slightly and the AFC is picking that up and attempting to compensate for it. If you could attempt to set your dead-zone at say 20 for the two axis and try that way. Make sure you save a .trk of that flight in case it does occur, if it doesn't then you can reduce the number by 5 and try again to find your ideal dead-zones. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.

Shmegegge 1-1 Aero Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Roger, I will try this when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmegegge 1-1 Aero Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 For the initial test, my deadzone was at 0. I set it to 20 and now it seems to be working fine. Thanks, that must have been the issue. Sorry for the false report, I never realized how sensitive my stick was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Rgr, shouldn't need to keep it at 0 so bring it down until the problem occurs, then revert back to the value before the value at which it starts causing issues. Marking as USER ERROR and moving to RESOLVED. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
