October 27, 20178 yr My problem doesn't seem to be corrected. When flying the default C-172 using the GPS, the aircraft flies off in random directions - dragging the red line with it. Anyone else seeing this? John John Wingold
October 27, 20178 yr I can confirm when trying to fly AP HDG mode it doesn't hold heading and it seemed to not hold VS, but I didn't spend too much time with the VS since big mama walked in and busted me....ahemmmmm...she was vacuuming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz - 5.2GHz|CyberPowerPC MasterLiquid CPU Cooler|MSI PRO B850-VC WiFi Mobo|GeForce RTX 5070 12GB|DDR5-6000MHz 32GB|950 PRO M.2 2TB|850 EVO 500GB|2TB Seagate FireCuda SSHD|CyberPower ATX|850 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold PS|Win11 64bit Home|MSFS2024 Std Ed I love the smell of Jet-A in the morning!

October 27, 20178 yr Hadn't tried the heading mode, but when flying NAV mode, it will try to fly off at about a 90 degree angle and drag the line with it. C-170 only. The B-58 and, for that matter, all the other aircraft I have tried, fly as programmed. Yes, I submitted a bug report. John John Wingold

October 27, 20178 yr Author The one that accounts for aircraft rapidly sinking into terrain when near flare height, instead of entering the expected ground effect. Or the fact that under ground effect, and due to the reduction of induced drag ( as it's main factor ) they should be able to move faster for a constant power setting... I believe it is related to the new downwash calculations, and since they're mentioned in the update list, I thought that might have been solved ?

October 27, 20178 yr Jcomm, we have worked with austin on this, documented and reviewed the whole ground effect on all aspects. Pitching moments, lift and drag should all be well inside the ballpark now. This is extremely complicated stuff and affects different types of aircraft differently depending on geometry, configuration etc. So what you experience will vary as in real. Morten Melhuus

That is really Great News ! Thx for the info Morten.

October 28, 20178 yr Update on the GPS tracking problem! After reading in a post that Ben's statement about saving aircraft in "Plane Maker" was the way to go in 11.10b5 and beyond, I tried it and it works. My C-172 now follows the line in both the default and the REP version. I am happy. John John Wingold
October 28, 20178 yr Author Regarding the rolling moment, at mid-high power settings, I just tested with the G-1000 C172. Nilled all compensations in Plane Maker ( trim tabs for aileron and rudder set to 0.000, engine lateral cant set to 0.000 degrees, incidence of the vertical stabilizer set to null ) and experimented with a version having the usual CW rotating prop, and then with a fictional CCW C172. When I set the prop to CCW, the rolling moment reverses - starts rolling left at mid / high power settings... So it must really be something with the new propwash model.
