Wacky Posted March 1 Posted March 1 The map and aircraft load fine, however in the quickstart free flight mission some weird flight control behaviour occurs. It is as if it develops a life of its own: the trim setting seems to jump randomly, and sometimes the stick movement along the pitch or roll axis seems to initially go in the opposite direction or not respond properly. The issue also appears when the weather is set to clear sky and 0 wind. I've checked the joystick controls and calibration as well as the profile config for the aircraft, all of which are confirmed ok. NB. this issue only occurs with the F-16 in the quickstart free flight mission that comes with the map! Loading this mission into the mission editor and flying it with another aircraft does not exhibit this strange behaviour, so this does not seem to be related to atmospheric thermal conditions, either. Also, F-16 flight control works flawlessly in the other maps, as well as on the Afghanistan map when a new mission is created from scratch. Good luck in figuring that one out, and thank you for keeping up the great work on this wonderful terrain! 1

sjhorsley Posted May 15 Posted May 15 It may be that the auto pilot is on. Usually on the missions that came with the AFG map and the f-16 I have noticed the AP is on and set to steer-point navigation. When I make my own it does not.
