webmaximusI was told by Zibo you guys have been in contact regarding this issue which is great! Looking forward to what will come out of it.
One more thing I would like to add while you’re looking into this is how the nose of the Zibo mod has a tendency to drop when you disconnect the AP on short final. I’m guessing it has to do with how the stab trim value doesn’t match perfectly between the CLS-E yoke and the virtual yoke in the Zibo mod.
You can also see during flight by opening up the flight control system display in the Zibo mod how the pitch axis never “settles” when the AP is engaged in the Zibo mod and you have the pitch axis enabled under Autopilot in the CLS2Sim software. You will see how the pitch very rapidly moves up and down in a rather erratic way. In my experience, this is the case both with the ‘Don’t move with the AP’ option in CLS2Sim checked/unchecked.
Only way I’ve found at this time to avoid both these issues is by simply disabling the pitch axis under Autopilot settings in CLS2Sim. Although it will fix these issues, I don’t see it as a solution since it defeats one of the main features of the Brunner yoke and one of the reasons I bought it in the first place…how it’s able to move with the AP just like in the real aircraft.
Looking forward to hear back from you.
