Aircraft Banks uncontrollably on Approach

Featured Replies

I am having a serious problem. The aircraft banks just 50 ft above the runway and one time 1000 ft while it was on auto land. And another time just after take off. It happened with Wilco a320, LH maddog, and recently with Ifly 737. it doesn't always happen. But it is a pain to end my otherwise perfect flight.Has anyone experienced that or knows what might be the cause? thanks in advance.

Hi,What are you using for your weather program?

Ase evolutiAse evolution, but there was no sudden change of wind directionon
I have had this problem, calibrate your joystick, take off the num lock and press 5 a couple of times before you disconnect the a/p, worked for me, anyone else?

Hi,It could be wake turbulence or you have generated a thermal point in ASE. I would say it is the former. Turn off WT in ASE and then try.

I find this happens a lot, not necessarily in windy conditions, but quite often if I am landing at an airport close to the coast. In fact what you described happened to me last night at EGPH and there was a blustery 25 knt cross wind !! Check out Jim’s idea. When you come across this again, switch off any weather engine, make sure the weather conditions are calm and retry the approach. Just out of interest, what airport were you landing at and what was the weather conditions ? Tristan

In which tab I can find it?

It happened as I was landing at LMML, EIDW, KLAX, at LIRF after rotation all of them are coastal airports, except the last incident happened as I was landing at EDDT.Usually, it happens 50 ft above the runway and I crash so I can't just retry it unless I recreate the flight again.

Hi,On the Wind Options tab, the first slider is called Wake Turbulence Strength. 0% will generate no WT.

Had the same thing happen to me a lot when I was using both joystick and flight yoke. If you have this kind of setup too make sure only one of them is set for aileron and vertical stabilizer inputs.Matt

Guys, listen to what Jim said here about turning WAKE TURBULANCE off. I had EXACTLY the same instances when my plane sharply banked at different altitudes on final and I even crashed many times. I was so baffled at it that I tried to change many things from hardware to reinstall and fsuipc, but all in vain. I began thinking it was something with fs9 on the modern hardware. But then somebody told me to turn off WAKE TURBULANCE completely. Since then I have not experienced it even once. I don't know why to keep WT in ASE at all. It does not work realistically anyway and in most of the instances that I had there were no AI planes around.Cheers,Dirk.

The only thing I'll say is that WT in ASE is VERY realistic within the limits of FS. Yes, WT can still happen in the Real World with no planes in sight. Just research the plane crash a few winters ago just south of KDTW when WT casued a crash with not a single plane in sight, but 3-4 minutes past while landing at KDTW.

I was much more lucky in real world flying then. ASE-induced WT happened in about every 4th flight.Cheers,Dirk.

Jim, I have another problem and I wonder if you could help me. During cruise, the wind speed changes suddenly. It goes like from 48 kts to 30 kts and back and then to 0 kts. The thing is, it is OK before until I changed the cloud settings. I am udpated with the latest patch.Thanks in advance
