[Flightgear-devel] Bank angle problem?
Hi guys, I'm running the stable plib build of FlightGear 0.9.10 on Win32 and I've got trouble with my flight controls. On normal hands-off flight, my aircraft seems to consequently bank to the left. I've already double-checked my control calibrations and these are all dead center, the flight control indicators on the HUD give center as well. So far I've noticed this problem with both YASim (1900D) and JSBSim (C172) aircraft, which makes me believe there's something else wrong. Also I noticed that FlightGear only recognizes two controllers out of the three connected. And yes, I've checked that the autopilot was disengaged ;-) Here are the controls I have: CH Flight Sim Yoke USB Saitek X52 (USB) Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals (USB) - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Bank angle problem?
Have you checked if your props are spinning? They can generate some significant asymmetric effects when they are moving (both in terms of torque and in terms of a spiralling prop wash.)Also, our c172 is trimmed to fly pretty straight in level cruise, but that means it won't fly exactly straight in any other regime.

On the B1900D the props are counter-rotating IIRC so the torques from both engines should cancel out. I also have problems with the C172 in level cruise, and the problem persists when flying a jet too. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Berndt, Jon S schreef: See the bottom question, here: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ Jon It was the prop torque issue after all. Pretty weird it also occurs on the 1900D, since those two props are supposed to cancel each other out. Since I currently don't have the luxury of my rudder pedals in FlightGear (I'll try if I can add them manually in Joysticks.xml) I have to maintain right pressure on the yoke at all times when flying props, which can be pretty annoying. The CIISP flies without any problems. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Are you absolutely sure that those props are not rotating in the same sense? *Absolutely* sure? Jon - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
