May not be a bug,but it is BUGGING me..

For some reason when I get into a typhoon,the ailerons configure in such a way that the plane wants to spin to the right.

 This is the only plane I seem to have this problem with..Is this normal?or is something going on with my control of which I am unaware?

 It seems I did not used to have this problem until about the last few months..

     I have calibrated numerous times and yet it still wants to do right spins..

                                                  thanks,
                                                        Kevin

Engine turns backwards.

The engine may be turning backwards,but the prop is turning the right way.

I've been flying a few Typh missions lately and find that with rudder trimmed all the way to the left (with my J key) after taking off it will fly stright, not turn left until it hits a certain point (alt/speed... not sure), then it works normally.

I think it has something to do with the engine turning the opposite direction from normal, torque, or airflow over the tail/rudder surfaces but not sure which if any of these is causing it.

Regardless, it sounds similar you what you're experiencing so it must be inherant to the Typh.

Not sure how accurate the modeling is for the Tiffiy and the Tempest but I beleive the right turning after takeoff is due to the torque of the propeller.

The engine / prop combination on these two airplanes must have produced so much torque during takeoff that even full opposite aileron and rudder couldn't completely overcome it.  Once you get up to speed however this goes away.

Yes, manual trim or combat trim helps.  The difficulty that I have is flying on autopilot or autoclimb.  The plane continues to pull around in what would eventually be a large circle.


Anyone else experience that?

Yes, but basically only when using autoclimb after autotakeoff.
If I disengage autopilot after takeoff, wait to get to proper speed and reengage autoclimb, my temp won`t to that circle anymore and is heading straight to target area.

It was noted by someone (I believe HTC) when the new combat trim setting tables came out that the Typhoon doesn't correctly trim on its own. It's simply an error in the Typhoon's auto trim tables, but they haven't fixed it. By manually trimming just a little, you can get an OK result.

At 25k a 109g-14 won't autoclimb on a steady course. Aileron trim is fully deflected and you tend to drift into the torque. It requires constant course adjustments.

Same for typh on auto climb -- by the way this has always been this way, since AH1 -- and a couple of other high-torque aircraft.

When it does this, just note the default auto-climb speed, and set it to 10 or 20mph more with the ".speed xxx" command. In typh, if it's default at 175, type ".speed 190", level out til you hit 190 then engage auto climb again. It only happens because you're slowing down past the point where airflow keeps the plane on course.

Something like that.
