Flight Controls MD11/FS9

[Guest Maik941]

Hey folks, first of all thank you so much for this lovely MD11! Great job. But I have got an issue with the flight controls, they do not operate as smooth as other flight controls, e.g. 744 PMDG. Since it is very difficult to describe this problem, I made a video so you can take a closer look. You

Too bad nobody knows an answer, PMDG guys? Anybody?

i searched the forum to find a solution but nobody knows the answer... realy frustrating to have an autopilot who can not control the elevators or ailerons smoothly ...I have the same problem by the way :-)Please pmdg... find the bug ! thanks Kevin R.

Is the problem only FS9 animation or is there a flight control problem with the way it flies?I don't know if this is the reason, but this is a FSX simulation that was modified to work in the much less visually powerful FS9. I believe the 737/747 were FS9 simulations updated for FSX.To be honest, I didn't see a problem in your movie clip but I am sure you are looking at it a lot closer than I am.

He's talking about the "flutter", mainly noticed in the elevator. I've never looked for it myself, but since it was ported to FS9 from FSX, then I'd assume that is why it does that. I really don't see it being a big deal since you aren't gonna see it during normal flight, even in spot view since the amount of travel is small.

Seems like an easy animation to smooth out... but who knows.
