Jasta15 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Just downloaded and flew with around 15 others Schuckert III's in Single Mission mode. Has anyone else noticed that the AI aircraft climb steeply, stall turn and then dive to the ground and generally crash into the ground. 6-7 aircraft crashed before we made contact with the enemy planes?

+Baltika 84 Posted January 27, 2007 The Skunkworks FE planes are generally tuned for "normal" flight model. Have you got "Hard" setting enabled for flight model? I know most people usually do set everything to hard, but you may have to turn it down to "normal" for the ai to be able to handle the add-on planes. Just a thought.

Guest capun Posted January 27, 2007 Remember that our FM is tuned for Normal mode. I see the problem only if I set my plane is autopilot at low altitude. Until Charles comes back from the beach, change this in the data ini [Fuselage] ModelNodeName=Fuselage ShowFromCockpit=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=TRUE CLa=0.0259 CD0=0.0075 CDL=0.0001 Cm0=-0.0001 Cmq=-0.7366 Cmad=-0.2433 Cyb=-1.0278 ; try this value, it was -0.0278 before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Von Hammer 0 Posted January 27, 2007 I tested one thing with the Pfalz DIII, I changed the maxdeflection on the left and right elevator control surfaces from 25.0 to 30.0, I was then able to do loops if I had sufficient energy. I donno how the Siemens D3 is but you could try putting in 5 more in value on the max deflection on the control surfaces and see if a roll/loop is practiceable. Good luck!

I have found flying this plane you have to use the rudder correctly to get out of that inward spin problem. Is it true the AI don't use rudders and could that be some of what we are fighting?

+TexMurphy 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Firecage Very good find and I do assume that you are right as indeed the AI doesnt use rudder which is extreamly frustrating... Tex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasta15 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Has the AI now so called fixed the Schuck III crashing, I have downloaded again the updated version of the Schuck III and it still seems to do it? The problem is that in Normal mode the aircraft were still corkscrewing to the ground and crashing (Press F10 and watch when you are in autopilot). Some of the aircraft would then take off with part of the top wing missing or just spiral on its nose on the ground. The latest update did not seem to fix or I am doing something wrong?????

BattlerBritain 1 Posted February 2, 2007 Haven't seen the AI spiralling in but did notice that in S+Level flight at full power it couldn't do more than 80mph. It should be able to do around 110mph. Maybe up the power rating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
