Stevepariser Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It seems very difficult to hold the final approach with the joy stick upon landing. The aircraft seems to drift from side to side and difficult to control. All other aspects of the flight seem fine. The landings with the autopilot ILS engage seem to work. However manual control with the joystick even with minor corrections do not seem to stop the drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Are you also using any kind of rudder control along with the joystick? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Use the keyboard to fly like I do, no joystick adjustments to worry about. :cool: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However manual control with the joystick even with minor corrections do not seem to stop the drifting. The first thing I would do is try landings with all weather settings off. The circumstances you describe sound to me like ILS landings with a strong crosswind, it is normal to be blown off course as soon as the ILS is disengaged. Then you need to master control of the aircraft and how much input you use on the joystick. Remember that the larger the aircraft, the longer it will take to respond to your actions, so if you turn it will take a while to actually do so and when you straighten again it will take a while to do that too. So you might feel more comfortable starting with a smaller aircraft. John http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

nadlzfw Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My guess is that either the rudder is not centered or is trimmed wrong. Recalibrate the rudder control and verify that the trim is zero. Nadlzfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornetAircraft Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 if you are using a joystick with a 3 axis control... up, down, left, right, and rudder, then that might be your problem. try getting a set of rudder pedals. that is all i can think of. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
