AS 2012 + NGX = rocking back and forth

Featured Replies

Anyone had this problem with AS 2012? I fly at FL370 with a 50 kt tailwind and every 10 or so seconds the plane pitches up and down a few degrees over and over again until it subsides....

Then again and again. It happens also every time i maximize the fsx window after minimizing it.

I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.

Search functions do wonders.

 

However, in the spirit of helping you out, this is a well known issue.

Make sure you're using DWC mode, or similar. It also helps if you use FSUIPC and enable wind smoothing.

I searched. Only one post with my problem. No one helped him out.

 

I have fsuicp (latest and registered), I always use DWC wtih wind smoothing.

Well, in Whoville they say - that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day.

I'd be willing to say there are in excess of 50 threads addressing this issue, all solved by a little working with the two programs.

 

In any case, it also sounds like you're messing with other programs while running the NGX. Remember that the sim is a massive memory hog, and needs all the memory it can get for all of the computations to work correctly. When resources are taken away from it, those computations take longer and you can see how that affects your sim. In a similar manner, the aircraft is less precise when running in time compression. Again, it's trying to be precise but has less time/resources do run them precisely.

Haha - it might be worth pointing out that my roommates also call me the Grinch.
