Reply To: Profile configuration for GA aircraft – yoke physics

[mauricecohen]

Hello Diego,

Thank you for your response. Here are some comments after quoting you:

“Airspeed and Prop wash are calculated independent from each other. Also important to note is that the effects are not cumulative”
Knowing this, I now see why I had a bit of difficulty setting these and I will have to adjust them.

“I assume you did you make sure that aileron trim in X-Plane is set to zero.”
Yes, that is the first thing I thought of and made sure all trims were set to zero and verified that with data output.

“I have so far observed that behaviour with I think almost all standard planes in X-Plane 9 up to 11”
This surprises me; as I mention in my second post, I attribute this to prop/engine torque and it should not occur in twins with counter-rotating props or jets. I will test and report back. I will also try to reduce the effect in the C172 (using plane maker?) to match my muscle-memory of using just 2 fingers on the yoke to counteract the left roll.

“Can you make a screen shot of the profile manager when that occurs?” “Same as above, a screen shot will help me determine what could trigger this.”
I will use the weekend to do a lot of flying with my new yoke and take a screen-shot whenever a question occurs.

“Thanks for immediately uploading the profiles, that way I can test a lot better.”
I would welcome any suggestion you have about how to improve the profiles I have set.

Best regards,

Maurice
