new patch -- Lotsa torque to R on takeoff
« on: September 10, 2005, 07:32:52 PM »
In some planes -- notably the tiffy, the lanc,  and the c205 -- I'm experiencing uncontrollable R handed torque on takeoff. The autopilot cant adjust, and the tiffy/205/lanc slices off the runway and into any available hangarside. When taking off manually, the same thing happens even with maxiaml rudder, maximal trim, and moderate L braking. I can stay on the runway with the lanc, but it takes so much brake that the buff cant take off. This happens online and offline, only since the last patch.

Once airborne (at the DA map 5K base - flew off the cliffside to R of base lol), the tiffy behaves normally, with gradual decrease in torque effect as airspeed builds.

Other planes -- P38 and B24, for example -- are Ok with manual take off, tho 38 requires R rudder (which it should not given conterrotation). In auto takeoff, both develope dramatic rudder oscillations with wide swings of the control column visible -- also gradualy decreasing with airspeed.

Some planes are unaffected (like 109G10 and spit family).

I uninstalled the program, removed the directory, and reinstalled -- but no improvement at all. I've recalibrated severaltimes, but have troubel thinking ots an input problem since its identical with auto takeoff (when rudder inputs are frozen out). IN any case, I've checked controllers/joystick/settings and found the inputs lines are in appropriate places.


Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I fly mostly the C205 and have not experienced this. No problems both in manual and auto-takeoff.

Perhaps see if it happens offline too.  Take the external view while plane is doing auto-take off and see how the rudder, ailerons, etc. are behaving.  Don't know what that would prove but it might be interesting.

I flew the Tiffie a few times yesterday and didn't notice a problem.

If your joystick has a trim wheel check to see that it is centered. I have experienced something simular to what you are and I found that I had accidently bumped the rudder trim all the way over to one side.

Sent films to HTC, will see what they see....I realized no one else seemed to be having this probelm when CH 200 didnt have the explosive whining a generalized bug like this would bring out.

When ran into this, was occurring both offline and online. Seemed much worse on NE runway, but wind settings were off.

Last PM managed to take off from W runway in tiffy with no problem.  

I suppose this could have been symptom of that generalized psychosis my doc's been talking about...:lol

Seems resolved with 2.051 -- now no problems on or offline


(well, none with the taking off thing anyway....)
