Reply To: Profile configuration for GA aircraft – yoke physics

[mauricecohen]

Diego,

I have tested extensively in the default X-Plane 11 C172 and B58 the third (roll left tendency) and final (hard move left of the yoke after slowing down upon landing) issues that I raised my first post. I have determined that the roll left tendency is the result of X-Plane modelling of the prop/engine torque and not any setting in the CLS2Sim. I also have not been able to replicate the final issue after adjusting the min and max values for the elevator being affected by speed and engine thrust (prop wash).

I have had a lot of difficulty with the trim and autopilot settings, however. I found that the instructions in the section “Adjusting an X-Plane plane for realistic trim using PlaneMaker and choosing the right CLS2Sim settings” are just bad advice. Following the instructions makes the VSI inaccurate and the autopilot non-functional for both the C172 and the B58. What seems to works in the end is to NOT change the values in Plane Maker (Trim and Speed) AND also set the “Don’t set pos in AP mode (Roll)” TICKED.

I will next test the default King Air C90B and let you know what I find.

All the best,

Maurice
