I really like tornados, but I Just can’t justify flying the GR1, when Su 39 is far easier to use with way more ordnance. Or the ease of use of the harrier. Or the jaguar. Or even French aircraft.
Not to mention damping issues on the GR1 when fully laden.
I have been flying a lot more Buc recently. But the Gr1s are always fun to go Canyon racing in, in SB.
Yeah, i’ve noticed some issues with damping mode of late, but i’ve noticed it in a few aircraft, was contemplating a bug report at some point
Load the Gr1 full of ordnance, and try fly it with damping. It gets sent to space.
Yeah, it feels like it needs a few degrees of pitch trim. But there are others, I constantly feel like the Gripen C is trying to yaw slightly, its almost unnoticable, but if you switch damping off, it goes away
Even trimming the Gr1, not much success getting it to stop going up. Gripen for Sweden doesn’t seem to have that problem, or didn’t when I flew it.
Trim doesnt work whilst in Damping mode, but I might write up a bug report for the Tornado damping mode actually. that is very annoying when trying to maintain level flight at 50 ft. do wish you could just keep it flying in a straight line (especially with no TFR)
Strange, trimming was working for me on several other planes in damping. Who knows, maybe the tornado’s rubbish damping is holding together the damping of other aircraft.
Maybe, I’ve never noticed trim working for any aircraft whilst in damping mode though. I just assumed it disabled trim
Works for me on Su 39, off the top of my head. Know it did for a few others though, but tired. Su 39 has a similar issue but trim seems to resolve it.
Wierdly, I actually have the opposite problem. My nose wants to lawn dart without constant imputs whilst in damping mode actually.
That’s a bit odd. I checked my stuff whilst it was happening and didn’t have an errant input so it should be pretty similar?
In theory :D
Also would help if I linked the clip I recorded of it
Play games to get away from the software making me want to do my head in, then discover this. Fun.
Give me a second to test it. I can’t record atm but I’ll let you know the result
Yeah…
Yeah now it wants to hit the dirt apparently.
Based upon some quick tests, the airframes seem to nose down naturally with no imput. but a 2-3% elevator trim stops it. So both Damping and automatical leveling just need a slight 2-3% elevator trim increase
I’ll check that, give me a second.
On my end, pitching down even taking the trim up to 5%, until mach 1.05. Then 3% works, more or less.
Just checked the Phantom FGR2 and its rocked solid in a straight with and without damping mode on (at low speeds with damping on though it does tend to pull up a little)
was hoping to find a comparable aircraft, where Damping counters natural aircraft tendenancies. Bugger it, I will try and report, send it over to the almighty Gunjob and see what happens
Harrier. It is a bit funny flying without damping, but one of the best with it. At least on my end.
