Comrade Vodka Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) A/c not holding straight & level flight when AFC engaged within all parameters. It wanders off to starboard (right) a few seconds after being engaged. ...any ideas how to resolve this? Edited June 6, 2021 by Comrade Vodka starboard (right) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] :pilotfly:
Balion Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 When i had this problem, it was because of joystick miscalibration (lateral axis not centered). 1
Comrade Vodka Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 Thank you for reply. I have now resolved this by having a value of 10 in the control stick 'Deadzone' on both axis [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] :pilotfly:
Fri13 Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 IMHO these autopilot systems should be with virtual deadzone. So all possible joystick jittery etc is countered with 20% deadzone and slight moves. As joystick is not same thing as physical stick in cockpit. 1 i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

I don't want to have a large deadzone for hand flying, but during AP operation, all the small center movements of the normal desktop joysticks should not interfere. Don't have the problem in F-18, F-16 or Mirage (I know, these are FBW) using the same small deadzone of 4.
