johnnyb Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hello Everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I am in need of help for a problem I cannot duplicate on my system. An end user downloaded my Cessna 404 aircraft. When he loads the aircraft at any airport, the aircraft spins out of control immediately. Even when he loads an aircraft that stays on the runway in a stable condition and then loads my Cessna 404, the Cessna starts to spin out of control. He is running FSX, but I do not know what other addons he is running. I also have not recieved any notice of such action from anyone else. The file have been online for a few years so it's now a new file. Any ideas? Johnnyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try a search and giver 'er a go! 404fsxud.zip Found it, downloaded it and now will test it! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

mrzippy Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Test flight was just fine. It was steady as a rock before and after engine start, a tiny sluggish on the takeoff roll but climbed nicely after gear up and flaps up. Also a bit sluggish in the turns, not quite as crisp as the Baron 58. Thumbs up on the experience!;) Backwards tail number?? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

ScatterbrainKid Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 ..When he loads the aircraft at any airport, the aircraft spins out of control immediately.. Sounds fun, reminds me of my old history teacher who used to let his favourite pupils sit on his lap during lessons then writhe around under them like a mechanical bull, and they seemed to enjoy the ride. Re FSX, planes on the ground sometimes spin like crazy in Slew mode so tell your mate to hit the 'Y' key to exit Slew. Also tell him to waggle and twist his joystick and yoke controls a few times to see if it stops the spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evm Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This will happen too if you severly exceed the aircrafts maximum weight (and crash detection is disabled). Maybe the user altered the aircraft.cfg or is running some addon that automatically puts (too much) fuel or payload on the plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks to all. I think I now have a few ideas to forward to the end user to try. As to the backwards tail number, I didn't notice that until after release. Sorry 'bout that. I have given up aircraft design and concentrated on scenery design. Thanks again guys for your input.

CptCaveman Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Also dont forget about realism settings. Full settings will engage a high rate of engine torque and p-factor making some planes lurch sideways. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
