2 different rolling radius statements in landing gear?

differing shock stork values???

when model halves were mirrored, the meshes werent' aligned?

 

I don't have aircraft, so I'm just guess, but these are good places to start. Can you copy/paste and post the landing gear statements from the data ini here?

I've never seen this plane, where can I find it? is it on CA site?

didn't work.

 

I just now noticed when I fly with the gear down it now wants to lean to the right and leans left when it's up

just by chance, in the download, was there an odd little file with the extension of .OUT???

 

that'll help run it down.

 

also, wasn't this thing very much a beta release??

Nope, no OUT file.

 

I don't know, I got it through EricJ's post attachment

Yes, the double gear entry is an anomaly but I doubt it's the case here.

 

Is that happening only in movement when using rudders ?

 

They are asymmetrical, the Right one has a control rate of 1.0 and the Left one of 1.5, that may explain part of it.

Also, both engines have the same centerline thrust point, which should not be the case and may increase the asymmetry (the wider apart they would be, the less influence it would have).

 

The rest seems correct but my code for main aerodynamic surfaces is a mess right now, so, short of a visual inspection I can't guarantee it's valid.

Yep, definite FM trouble...

 

On level flight there's a strong tendency to roll left (can't recognize my left from my right this morning, brilliant...) on flaps down and gently left with flaps retracted, in certain conditions it seems to revert to right, haven't figured out the altitude, speed and pitch combination for that one; on pitch up there's a roll right tendency, whether it's gear/flaps up or down, and with the gear double entry and rudders asymmetry corrected.

This thing sounds like crap in terms of the data.ini. The data.ini FM needs to be completely symmetrical first, then the troubleshooting can be more reliable.

 

And I suspect what the problem is...if so, the only way it will be fixed is to either fly the aircraft in normal mode...or the MAX file needs fixing.

Tried it and no problems in flight etc...for me it flies level when left hand off

did find this however.

in out file

Right_Main and in data.ini its got it as RightMain.

corrected entry below

I altered the nose wheel size as it sunk in runway a bit,and reduced main tyres as they didnt quite sit on tarmac

Russo, the problem is only on Hard with the one they use (the early version) not the one published here and pulled quickly afterwards, which flies well, even in Hard.

 

Just in case, here's the most recent occurrence of the file I have in store, I'm not sure it's much better from a realism point of view, but it certainly works better than the old one.
