Anomalous Loss of Control!


Recommended Posts

Last night, I took off from Lydd (Dover), LYDD, in the DA40. Everything seemed totally normal. About 2 miles out, all of a sudden none of the controls worked. Plane continued in a slow turn to the right.

 

Restarted, tried again. Same thing.

 

Restarted, tried again. Changed to DA62. Same thing.

 

Went to bed.

 

This afternoon, with a fresh boot of the PC, tried again, in the Baron. Same thing!

 

Tried taking off from Exeter (EGTE), still in the Baron. Smooth sailing!

 

Go figure.

 

Anybody else had this? (Seems there's always something with this sim.)

I've just taken off from Lydd in the C172 G1000, now safely heading to Manston. I have the latest G1000 mod installed, I highly recommend it. It's a free download from Github: https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/g1000-v0.3.1

Tiger,

 

Thanks. But what does that have to do with the problem I described? Maybe I'm missing something. I didn't fly the C172 G1000 out of Lydd.

Hi Mac, I took off from Lydd to see if there was a problem at that location, but there wasn't, so it seems to be an Autopilot issue.

I use the working title G1000 mod, which includes the autopilot, hence my recommendation if you don't already use it.

However the problem could also be down to key bindings if you operate the autopilot by keyboard - try changing the default key commands for those that you use and see if it helps.

Yeah, but I never touched the autopilot.

In that case it can only be a controller conflict or calibration problem, what controller(s) are you using?
