Altitude hold


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

first of all I would say thank you to the team for a great airplane.

 

I have in my flights a problem to hold the altitude it decrease the verticalspeed when I have set a FL for example FL100. The it is changes between FL95 and FL109. This happens when I increase or decrease the speed an when i do turns. The variation is then up to 1000 feet per minute. May you can help me to solve the problem?

 

Best regards

When the aircraft does this pitch-up/pitch-down thing, it's most likely that it's overloaded or that the center of gravity is outside its limits. Try to change the payload to be distributed more evenly.

Of course it deviates a bit. Additional thrust turns into additional lift, turns cause a loss of lift. The change has to occur first before it can be corrected. And you see the result of that as an altitude deviation.

I just tried and got a deviation of less than 5 feet when I flew a turn with HDG HOLD at full bank angle at FL100. If it's 500 feet, then something else is wrong.

 

Can you save the flight where this happens to you and upload it here? (.fxml, .wx and .crj file please. To be found under <Documents>\Prepar3d v4 Files or similar if another sim).

hey guys,

 

I have done several flights with the CRJ.

The hold of the altitude is every flight heavy weight or light weight.

 

I have diffenrent times turbulent weather, but in my opinon this can not cause so much variation. It still the situation, that when a assigned Alitude the vertical speed increase the descend rate to -2000 ft/min.

What do i wrong????? :(

Yes, I did. But with that little weight, it's hardly a CoG issue. I'm going to discuss with this Alexander (flight dynamics). May be he has an idea.

 

But what shows this files I sent in this Topic? I do not understand, why this depends on the low weight. I can send you some Photos about the Situiation???

that would be great :)

Please also try version 1.0.1 which is available now. Alexander made some changes in the flight dynamics. May be it affects how the altitude hold works for you.

I have loaded the provided files and that puts me on ground in LSZH. So I took off from there and flew direction EDDM in FL100 which was straight through thunderstorms. 

I think you must use a weather program which may set turbulence by default too high, like AktiveSky does, to see such altitude variations you described.

Nothing I can do about this if that is the case.
