Seahawk autopilot stability

Recommended Posts

Hi,

The helicopter doesn't consistently follow the flight plan, sometimes it wonders away from the required heading and it's usually not possible to get back on track.

-realism settings are set per instructions (~70%)

-no control inputs made (expand null zone to prevent joystick noise)

Is there a restriction on altitude, winds, track distance, etc. that I need to be aware of?

Aside from this annoying tendency not to fly on course, the Seahawk is a nice aircraft to fly.

Thanks,

Pat

Shaun,

AP tracks the course better if the winds are turned off (I use ASv6), tracks well for the most part, except needed to once use the anti-torque pedals to repoint the nose in the right direction when it lost its way.

Another thing is that when the joysticks are turned off in FS9, the tracking gets much better. Is joystick noise filtered out while AP is running?

Also noticed that running at 2x/4x sim speed, the model yaws a lot.

Are there any plans to update the flight model?

Thanks,

Pat
