resolved F18 suddendly starts rolling to the LEFT

Thank you for the answer.

this si my setting on that axe:

It seems strange to me that i sjust about the trimming, sometimes also on the ground in the taxi the airplane turns slightly on the left. And in the air even if rarely the plane starts spinning on itself like crazy.

about the calibration I am not sure that the saiteck x52 pro has a software that does it. I can find any calibration on mine.

If anyone knows if it is possible to calibrate it let me know.

Thank you

 

Well, this scraps my theory then. Seems perfectly calibrated.

About the ground behavior, it can be the rudder.

But remember, as in real life, aircraft don't usually go straight. If you have wind, even slight wind, it will yaw the aircraft with aero pressure on the fins and fuselage.

For now, I'm out of ideas.

I noticed, on your taxi in the Nevada mission, that you were making 45+ knots while taxing. Be careful about the speeds on taxing. Is from a human jogging to 20-25 ish knots.

Might check your rudder pedals too just in case they're sending a little rudder by accident. IIRC the FCS should manage rudder coordination, but it won't trim out constant "human" input ofc. I'll go try and replicate something like that with just rudder, the a/c might just yaw & not roll, I don't remember.

I don't have any pedals, I use the X52 pro for the rudder.

Well that can drift too... but I spent a while messing around & rudder drift probably isn't going to provoke these levels of roll.

Do you have a deadzone on your rudder?  If you're using a twist axis on your stick that might easily get turned slightly when you're holding it in flight

I see that the value on In is -1. Is it correct?

Nothing , at the end I tried to clear the rudder setup taking off the axis of the joystick from the control menu  and the problem still there so I think it isn't the rudder the problem

[Skip365]

I notice that the roll axis values dance in a strange way.

Could be it the problem?

it looks like your pot maybe having issues or possible lose connection? 

 

[rob10]

Yikes.  If you're not touching anything when that's happening there is definitely some sort hardware issue as BigNewy said.

-1 on the rudder could be due to mis-calibration, but that's a small enough number that the deadzone should be overcoming it

No I am not touching anything when that happens. About the pot connection how do I see if there is a problem? Shouldn't I get an error? Master caution or something?

Sorry But being new I find strange that things like this happen also in the training. The training should be a section for learning, I hope there is not random problem to the plane there,  even because if there is I always get one every mission.

[rob10]

BigNewy is referring to the physical pots in your joystick.  It's not a software issue with your game, it's a physical hardware issue with your joystick.  You should not be getting that kind of movement when you're not touching the stick.  Your stick appears to be sending inputs on its own causing the issue.

I checked out the track and mission. There is an AN/ASQ-T50 pod on one wing tip and a Captive AIM-9M on the other, there is a slight difference in the weight and I am seeing a very VERY slight roll towards the AIM-9M, this is very easily countered with a touch of trim. To show this clearer you can load up a F/A-18C with a captive AIM-9M on both wings and you will see no roll at all, or reverse the current load out and see the slight roll the other way. I hope this helps/makes sense.

I have changed the Controller (the saiteck x52 pro) with a new and different one and now everything works fine.

Thank you all.

great to hear it is solved, thank you for letting us know
