Carl100 0 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I am having a very hard time taxing in a straight line. Using CH yoke and peddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw 31 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 My first guess is calibration, or possibly "noisy" pots. I don't have any problems. Saitek X52 Pro, CH rudder pedals. Use the windows controller section to test the hardware to see if it's all stable, then re-calibrate if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 31, 2013 Aerosoft Share Posted July 31, 2013 I am having a very hard time taxing in a straight line. Using CH yoke and peddles. Could it be crosswind? The vertical tail plane is pretty large and the wheelbase (front to back) is not very long. This was done so the aircraft could maneuver in small spaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinotter_Pilot 13 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I also recommend to check the calibration - nevertheless some skill is needed with weather option as pointed out by Mathijs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadingEdge 4 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 This addon has excellent ground handling for me, it must just be a simple calibration correction. I had CH products and they constantly gave me issues as they got older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoz 7 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I am having the same problem, the Aerosoft_DHC6_300_TUNDRA is pulling to the right, both on the ground (taxiing and taking off) and in the air. It's making it very hard to control. I immediately assumed that my joystick, an MS Sidewinder FF2, needed calibrating! So I calibrated it, but it's still pulling to the right. Notice that there is a noticeable lean to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the fuel/load dialog in FSX and see if the CoG image shows the CoG to be on the center line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBird 12 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 ... And check if the thrust levers and prop levers are also syncron! Do you use two seperate thrust levers and prop levers (one for each engine/prop)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoz 7 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I found the problem! It's in the aircraft.cfg under the [weight_and_balance] section. This is what is in my Aerosoft_DHC6_300_TUNDRA aircraft.cfg: [weight_and_balance] empty_weight = 6850 // 6850 = Seats Installed, 6500 = Freight max_gross_weight = 12500 empty_weight_pitch_moi = 18782 empty_weight_roll_moi = 12419 empty_weight_yaw_moi = 31388 empty_weight_coupled_moi = 1600 reference_datum_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 empty_weight_cg_position = -0.730, 0.000, 0.000 max_number_of_stations = 12 station_load.0 = 170.0, 9.27, -1.40, -2.00, station_load.1 = 170.0, 9.27, 1.40, -2.00,station_load.2 = 0.0, 5.94, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.3 = 0.0, 3.44, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.4 = 0.0, 1.10, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.5 = 0.0, -1.56, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.6 = 0.0, -3.98, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.7 = 0.0, -6.23, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.8 = 0.0, -8.48, 1.40, -2.00, station_load.9 = 0.0, 15.10, 0.00, -3.00, station_load.10 = 0.0, -12.31, 0.00, -3.00, station_load.11 = 0.0, -15.40, 0.00, -3.00, station_name.0 = Pilot station_name.1 = Co-Pilot station_name.2 = Row 1 station_name.3 = Row 2 station_name.4 = Row 3 station_name.5 = Row 4 station_name.6 = Row 5 station_name.7 = Row 6 station_name.8 = Row 7 station_name.9 = Fwd (200lb) station_name.10 = Aft (500lb) station_name.11 = Aft Ext (150lb) Notice that all of the bold entries are placed at 1.40. Here it is what is in the Aerosoft_DHC6_300_WHEEL aircraft.cfg: [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] empty_weight = 6850 // 6850 = Seats Installed, 6500 = Freight max_gross_weight = 12500 empty_weight_pitch_moi = 18782 empty_weight_roll_moi = 12419 empty_weight_yaw_moi = 31388 empty_weight_coupled_moi = 1600 reference_datum_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 empty_weight_cg_position = -0.730, 0.000, 0.000 max_number_of_stations = 12 station_load.0 = 170.0, 9.27, -1.40, -2.00, station_load.1 = 170.0, 9.27, 1.40, -2.00,station_load.2 = 0.0, 5.94, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.3 = 0.0, 3.44, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.4 = 0.0, 1.10, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.5 = 0.0, -1.56, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.6 = 0.0, -3.98, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.7 = 0.0, -6.23, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.8 = 0.0, -8.48, 0.00, -2.00, station_load.9 = 0.0, 15.10, 0.00, -3.00, station_load.10 = 0.0, -12.31, 0.00, -3.00, station_load.11 = 0.0, -15.40, 0.00, -3.00, station_name.0 = Pilot station_name.1 = Co-Pilot station_name.2 = Row 1 station_name.3 = Row 2 station_name.4 = Row 3 station_name.5 = Row 4 station_name.6 = Row 5 station_name.7 = Row 6 station_name.8 = Row 7 station_name.9 = Fwd (200lb) station_name.10 = Aft (500lb) station_name.11 = Aft Ext (150lb) Notice that all the bold entries are 0.00, and not 1.40. So to fix it, I have just changed the aircraft,cfg for the Aerosoft_DHC6_300_TUNDRA to match the Aerosoft_DHC6_300_WHEEL. Hope this helps anyone else who might be having this problem.

Finn 873 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wow.. Good catch !!! Fixed for the next version (Tundra and Floats) Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliksimpie 14 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thank you very much markoz. This was driving me nuts, calibrating my controls and still had the issue. I thought that later that is just what a tundra maybe should taxi like with those big wheels. Finally I can taxi the tundra same as wheeled version.

Markoz 7 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 No worries guys, it was Mathijs who provided the clue here: Check the fuel/load dialog in FSX and see if the CoG image shows the CoG to be on the center line. When I first checked on the CoG, It was after I first loaded it into FSX, it didn't have any passengers or cargo, so I thought it was fine. But it was a different case once I used the AS TwinOtterX FuelPlanner to set it up for a flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
