A-20G Bug

[Mak333]

There is a bug in the A-20G regarding its elevators.  It is not my joystick and this problem does not happen in any other plane that I have noticed.  When I pull up or down on the stick and trigger the elevators, the transition in elevation is rather rapid and jerky and not smooth like it should be in all other planes.  I was hoping this would be fixed maybe?

trigger the elevators?

Are you talking about the flaps maybe?

No, the elevators.  When you pull back on the stick or push forward, the elevators are very incremental and not smooth.  Its almost as if there is something wrong with the A-20G's controls - Like there is a gap in certain areas.  This makes the nose jump up and down and is not a smooth transition from small turning degrees to medium to large.

EDIT:  I took some short footage of it in the Main Arena.  Here is the file:  http://www.mediafire.com/?gpryz4y2lyb

        *Notice the jumpiness of the nose.  Notice that it is not the frame rate either.  I was not shaking the stick, just pulling down and up gently and smoothly.

yeah.. i get it too in a20... my stick is otherwise calibrated and very smooth in other planes..

IIRC, try a 45 degree bank, level turn at 200+ mph. it jitters.


its kinda like how the Ju87 vibrates for me rolling on the rwy in autotakeoff..

I'm glad you noticed this too.  I thought my controller was acting up.  I recalibrated it on the advanced settings, to watch the raw & damp sliders.  They moved very smoothly.  All the other air-craft seem to have smooth pitch.

I was just flying one of those offline this morning (before reading this post) and noticed that myself.  I wasn't so much aware of any 'gaps' in the movement as just that they were moving rather fast.  However, this may just be my old joystick acting up again.
