Servus,

 

I have installed REX Essentials, flew from EDDS (Germany) to BIKF (Iceland) and then something strange happens to me over Belgium - I flew with autopilot, LNAV and VNAV engaged. The airplane rolls slowly to the left (Left wing down, right wing up) and the autopilot wasn't able to correct that movement. I disconnected the autopilot and flew by hand - and I needed much power to hold the plane horizontaly. I think I moved the stick to about 10 or 15 on the scale to just hold the bank angle. If I removed my hands from the stick the plane begins to roll until it was nearly 80 degrees bank angle - then I take control again. No failures, no yaw movement noticable and indicated, yaw damper active... I don't know why this happens? It starts to be better after I descend to land in Belgium. I was fully loaded with about 97% (PMDG House Livery) and flew at FL360 with 260KIAS - the maximum I was able to, because overspeed was 265KIAS and Stall Speed was 250KIAS. (I don't know why, but the last flight to Iceland I could climb to FL380 with about 280KIAS - but this could have been in a B737)

 

Was it the weather? Or was this caused by flying to high/slow/fast? I could fly the entire way to Iceland manually, but 3 hours moving the control stick is something I don't really want. What can cause this behaviour and what does real pilots do in such a case?

 

best regards

I had the same thing, if you go into your REX settings have a look at what you have the "maximum wind turbulence" slider set to, for some reason i can only get rid of this problem if i set it to 1. Mine was originally at 4 or 5. Since changing this has not happened again.

Thanks! I will try it
