Sensitive & delicate

Hi,

  happy to fly again the Tomcat in P3D v4. Unfortunately I found the very same issue of the former version. After lots of test flights, in the end on my pc (and on another simmer's one - friend of mine -, with a much powerful high-end machine) this aircraft is flyable and manageable only at the default "Fair weather" setting or less. If I only switch to "Cold fronts", the dances begin; not only, it goes for some moment out of control, making the landings a pain in the neck..

  Well, this is just a feedback, since I understand that if this issue has been dragged even in v3, I can't expect anything. Time ago I was been told that the culprit might have been a third party weather engine (in my case AS4); but now I'm flying using the static, default setting. it's a real pity; this software is beautifully made.

     Thanks for any answer & regards,

           Fulvio

If you disable turbulence effects this will stop occurring. As I understand it, this is more a limitation of flight modelling, such that in order to get an accurate flight model for fighters, they become oversensitive to turbulence. If you disable turbulence you should be ok.

It is indeed a very fine balance where we think correct flight models are more important than being able to handle weather. However, it seems to be extreme on your system because I can't share these experiences. Keep in mind that a high FPS is incredibly important when flying in turbulence. If the flightmodel falls behind things go very wrong.

Hi,

  thanks for your valuable and correct advice; actually, disabling the "turbolence" effect, no dancing in the air anymore.

  Just two more questions; is it possible to 1) operate the ladder by the usual Shift+2 command (if I'm not wrong, I didn't find anything on the manual) and 2) should it be possible, with the plane C&D at the parking, let the plane with the empty cockpit (pilots at the bar for a coffee...).

  Thanks again for any answer,

         Fulvio

If you search for the documentation, which should be in the simobjects folder within the 'myaddons' folder, if you go to Vol. 3 'Cockpit and Controls,' there is a breakdown of all the controls.

If I recall correctly, ladder is either floats extend, or retract.

 

2. I can't say I've seen this explicitly, but I imagine with the ladder down and parking brakes this should happen?

Hi, thanks for the advice. I've just tested: the controls are:" ctrl+W" (water rudder on/off) for the ladder. When the aircraft is ate rest, the pilots are at the bar for the coffee :lol:

Shift+W is the control for the launch bar.
