Comrade Vodka Posted June 6, 2021 Share 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?

Balion Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 When i had this problem, it was because of joystick miscalibration (lateral axis not centered). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Vodka Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fri13 Posted June 6, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
