Jay Oakley 1299775 Posted September 17, 2014 at 06:43 PM Posted September 17, 2014 at 06:43 PM I seem to have an issue with my flight controls problem, the issue is that the controls are some times really stiff meaning that it's hard for me to operate the aircraft efficiently during landing, and sometimes the controls are just great and normal. Any solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted September 17, 2014 at 08:15 PM Board of Governors Posted September 17, 2014 at 08:15 PM I really apologize for even suggesting this, and certainly mean no disrespect against your airmanship, but because I can't think of anything else at the moment -- AND BECAUSE (embarr[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ingly) I'VE DONE IT MYSELF! -- when you're experiencing undesired stiffness, verfiy you have disconnected your autopilot....

Jay Oakley 1299775 Posted September 18, 2014 at 03:48 PM Author Posted September 18, 2014 at 03:48 PM Yeah I've disconnected autopilot, do I need to disconnect the button below autopilot aswell? Plus it's not stiff, it's like kind of delayed, I steer down and it'll steer down really slowly and it won't past I'd say 5 degrees downwards nor upwards. Sure it couldn't be the autopilot but I'll try again today, I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Katz Posted September 18, 2014 at 06:15 PM Posted September 18, 2014 at 06:15 PM Are you referring specifically to elevator response and not aileron? (From your last post it sounds as if this might be the case.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Oakley 1299775 Posted September 18, 2014 at 07:02 PM Author Posted September 18, 2014 at 07:02 PM It's both, the response is a bit delayed or 'slow' on it. Lets say I pull the joystick all the way to the right, it'll take around 2 seconds for the yoke in game to follow that but then it won't bank all the way. Like I did a flight today and the controls were all fine, but then sometimes it isnt. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charan Kumar Posted September 23, 2014 at 04:35 AM Posted September 23, 2014 at 04:35 AM When I first started flying it, i didn't pay attention what the black and yellow knobs at the fwd pedestal area were, while adjusting wxr, i twisted them and ended up having an unbelievable flight, I barely managed to land the acft. They are autoflight controls, but twisting them didn't help with regular flying too. Any chance you did the same?
