Going into Upset Attitude on Approach

[McDANIEL_Douglas 0]

Hello all! 

In my last flights I am having some trouble because my plane goes into upset attitude near the ground on approach with autopilot on. Needless to say, I face the situation being icy, disconnecting all the automation (see Children of Magenta video) hand flying the beast when generally she is plummeting from the sky, stalled. It is easy to find myself pointing direct to the ground. These flights are flown on IVAO, after many hours connected, so I don't like the idea to see them being rejected due the possible crashing it can result. I tried to find some related case in this forum but I did not find. Does someone know what the cause is, please?

Thanks in advance!

Willing to bet that - since you were on IVAO - there was someone holding short, and you have a weather program that injects wake turbulence into the sim. For some reason, these simulations do not take airspeed into account, so it's generating a full-cruise wake sitting there by the runway. Turn it off. Done.

Thanks scandinavian13! I forgot to mention that I use Active Sky Next from many years and only in these last flights I am having the issue I have explained here. By the way, I finished my daily flight, from Abu Dhabi to Singapore, waiting for the challenge but it was a pleasant flight from gate to gate. And I don't remember having other traffics in front of me that could cause the upset attitudes. Only an A380 could turn me upside down! Lol. 😀

But that's ok, much appreciated your tip!

Kind regards!

Kyle,

FYI: I have experienced this in cruise on one flight only and put it down to my Flight Sim hardware settings, but I have not had a problem since installng the latest QOTSII update.
