Douglas R4D wont fly

Featured Replies

Help!!!Today I received the CD for the MAAM Douglas R4D. It has installed fine and looks great. Shame that it will not fly.The problem appears to be control input. All control surfaces are fluttering wildly. If I then change aircraft the problem persists. Closing FS9 and restarting solves the problem until the Douglas R4D is selected. My PC spec is as follows:AMD Athlon 3200+1ghz DDR RAMATI Radeon 9800 ProSaitek X45 Joystick, (I have tried changing drivers)ThanksStuart Maxwell

Hi StuartThe fluttering control surfaces tell me that perhaps the Sperry autopilot is engaged. Make sure it is off. Are you starting from one of the included start-up flights?Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif

Many thanks.Its obvious now but strange that the autopilot is on each time I load the plane.Superb aircraft and superb support. Thank you again.Stuart

Hi Stuart,Thanks for saying so.The AP being on is most likely a remnant of whatever start-up flight you use. Try using one of the start-up flights that came with the plane. You'll find them under the category MAAM-SIM R4D DC-3 in the menu. All of those are cold cockpit and should have the AP off to begin with.Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif
