EpicWin 20 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello When i move joystick to the left it sometime took more than 1-2 seconds until aircraft actualy starts turning. With this delay its almost imposible to manual fly the airplane. I have everything set-up according to manual but there is still extreme delay. Recently i found that in FMGC is option where you can disable FBW, this actualy removes the delay but it only works on ground. In air, with this option on, airplane cannot be controled. 1.) Is there a way to make FBW off even in flight but with control surfaces working? 2,) If not, how to reduce this delay? Its really not flyable, atleast for me, airplane responses are too late Thanks!

Max Reverse 344 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That delay is not a normal behavier. The Bus has no delay between sidestick inputs and course changes. Did you calibrate your joystick exactly? Is there any slope set in FSUIPC? <br /> Its not the Airbus, its your device!<br /> <br /> <br /> Best regards/schöne Grüße<br /> Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicWin 20 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 i havent set-uped in FSUIPC anything. every other airplane works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 344 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 May be, but every other aircraft is not an Airbus with FBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicWin 20 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 isnt FBW there to even make the inputs more precise and reponsive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchball 5 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Could you take a video to show how slow the response really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can be faster and more precise then a old fashioned cable connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineLives 4 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I am not sure if you mean delay between stick input and anything happening at all or that the plane is simply moving quite slowly initially to inputs. Remember this is a large heavy plane with a lot of inertia. You are not going to be able to throw it around like a fighter. In manual flight I find the plane does respond quickly to stick inputs but naturally there are no snap movements and if I reverse an input the inertia means that there is a delay before it reacts which does make lining up with a runway tricky. But look at Youtube videos of an A coming in to land manually and the pilot is making a lot of stick inputs constantly to keep the a/c lined up. How well this is modelled it's not for me to say as a non-pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs The Dude 6537 Posted October 13, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 13, 2014 Most of the Youtube videos are perfect examples of how not to hand fly an Airbus. Lets say you do not have your hand on the stick and then you make an input. This initial input will take 0.3 sec for the computers the give a signal to the aileron or elevator. After that there is an around 0.13 sec delay between input and the time to computer commands a surface to move. Ofcourse now it takes again an 0.1 sec for the plane to react to the new control surface position. All the while the FBW computers are trying to cancel out any external input on the aircraft attitude like wind and turb. If the pilot also tries to correct for this you are quickly getting into the domain of overcontrolling and this is what you see many a times on youtube and for me in the RW. It is very difficult for a pilot to do less stick inputs because it is sort of in our DNA because other planes than the Airbus required us to fly like that. Long story short, less is mostly more when flying an Airbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 17, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted October 17, 2014 Okay that's not an issue then. I am not sure there actually IS an issue. Could it be you have no experience with FBW aircraft? And can you confirm the controls are setup as indicated in Vol 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
