How to add more inertia to the flight model?

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I'm trying to add a little more inertia to the TBM as she is very twitchy but had no success yet.

Editing the MOI settings in the flight model file seems to have no effect.

Am i missing something here?

 

Any help appreciated.

Tom

You have to be in "Legacy" mode for the cfg file to have any effect.

The HotStart TBM for X-Plane, which is highly regarded, is very twitchy as well. Maybe it's authentic...

Happy with MSFS 🙂

But is it bobbing around all the time giving the AP a hard time to keep attitudes?

Haha... no. That must be a special version that ASOBO has modeled then.

elevator_effectiveness = 1
elevator_maxangle_scalar = 0.5
aileron_effectiveness = 0.5
rudder_effectiveness = 1
rudder_maxangle_scalar = 0.5

Look for these in "flight_model.cfg", under the "[FLIGHT_TUNING]" section, and play around at least with the effectiveness values, lowering them in the channels you find more "brisk"...

The values above were taken from another aircraft model, so they aren't necessarily the same for the TBM.

Make sure you backup the original file !!!
