AutoLevel in P-51D drops 30ft
« on: June 02, 2006, 01:16:21 PM »
Was flying in a mission last night in a fully loaded P-51D (2-1K eggs, 6 rocks, 100% fuel).

As the mission was NOE, I was close to the deck, so I was able to definetly notice a difference with the new patch with regards to setting AutoLevel.

When I would set it, the plane would drop about 30-35ft before levelling out.  

Is this intended?  Or a bug?  It is definetly different than the last version.

I have video of the whole flight if anyone needs it.

Thanks!

Was your speed fast enough to maintain level flight heavily loaded?

If not the plane will dip to increase speed to a certain minimum needed to maintain level flight.

yup..270+mph.

It never did this behavior in previous version.  Others on mission stated same drop in alt.  1 was unlucky enough to kill his prop on the agua with the drop.
