lax22 Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 Not sure if it's intended or not but I'm pretty sure it didn't happen before this patch: Whenever the AP is engaged and you are around Mach 0.9 - 1.1 the stabs are jittering around like crazy. Looks pretty strange... System: 7800X3D / Asus RTX 4090 OC / 64GB 3600mhz / Pimax Crystal / VKB GF3 Ultimate
Callsign JoNay Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 It's been a thing since before this patch. Looks very strange, agreed.
WelshZeCorgi Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Third. Fun to watch the plane jitter harder than a hummingbird overdosing on caffeine. Edited August 12, 2021 by WelshZeCorgi
Spurts Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 I recall being told never to use AP over .85M or something. could be related.
miromurin Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 So is this a bug? I noticed this happen mainly after dogfight.
IronMike Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Not a bug. If you use AP beyond 450kts this will happen, else not. The effect may be slightly exaggerated atm though, but it is very low on the list to check it with our SMEs, as they are still working through the FM/performance tweaks with us. It will remain to some (larger) extend either way though, as it gives you feedback that you have your AP engaged where you really should not have it.

Victory205 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 The NATOPS limit for autopilot engagement is 400KIAS/.9 Mach, whichever is lower. Hopefully, there aren’t any SME’s stupid enough to have engaged the autopilot at 450KIAS to see what might happen. 2 Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.

Is it black and white, where above 450 kts the stabs wobble, below 450 they don't? Simple as that? Or is it a situation where once you over speed the AP beyond 450 the stabs will trigger a damage flag and wobble at speeds even lower than 450? I ask because I have experienced the wobbling stabs at 350 kts / 800 ft when commencing from the stack to initial.

IIRC it increases gradually with speed, and at lower altitudes might have an onset at lower speeds, too. Something @fat creason can maybe shine more light upon.

Callsign JoNay Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 Interesting. I tried to reproduce it today, but I couldn't. I'm positive I've seen it at 350 kts though.

Stabs jittering at 350 kts with wings swept and in a bank. No jitter in level flight. And I'm getting all kinds of weird roll behavior opposite of where I deflect the stick. And sometimes the roll is accelerated for the amount of stick deflection. The opposite roll direction is the weirdest behavior though.
