How to get tailerons to function properly?

[Littlefireyone]

Hey guys, first off I absolutely love the strike fighters series and all the effort you lot have put into the community in terms of mods and support. I do have a question though that relates to an addon aircraft I downloaded recently. I tried searching for a fix but haven't had much luck unfortunately.

When you input pitch up the tailerons animate for pitch down and vice versa. I assume this is something rudimentary in the .ini file regarding the control surfaces? the Plane in question is this lovely JH-7A

A little quick fix (I guess there's no other way...)

 

In the JH-7A_DATA.INI file :

 

[LeftStabilizer]

SystemType=CONTROL_SURFACE

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

MovingSurface=TRUE

MaxDeflection=10.0

MinDeflection=-20.0

RotationAxis=Z-AXIS

ControlRate=1.0

ModelNodeName=LeftStab

ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE

 

[RightStabilizer]

SystemType=CONTROL_SURFACE

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

MovingSurface=TRUE

MaxDeflection=10.0

MinDeflection=-20.0

RotationAxis=Z-AXIS

ControlRate=1.0

ModelNodeName=RightStab

ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE

Thank you, this seems to have rectified the issue. Another question, does the game support rear stabilizers also being linked to roll control?

You're welcome

 

Yes, with install at patch 08 level.

I don't think it works with patch 06

 

Exemple with the MiG-25 :

 

[LeftStabilizer]

SystemType=CONTROL_SURFACE

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

MovingSurface=TRUE

MaxDeflection=12

MinDeflection=-15

ControlRate=1.0

...

SecondaryInputName=ROLL_CONTROL

SecondaryInputFactor=0.41

 

[RightStabilizer]

SystemType=CONTROL_SURFACE

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

MovingSurface=TRUE

MaxDeflection=12

MinDeflection=-15

ControlRate=1.0

...

SecondaryInputName=ROLL_CONTROL

SecondaryInputFactor=-0.41

Thanks for that, I'll get cracking updating my plane's .ini files
