June 24, 20214 yr Flying the Grand Caravan last night for the first time, it bounded around wildly, small movements did nothing then it’d roll or pitch dramatically. Would feel very sorry for any passengers that’s for sure. I’m used to the A320 which is smooth. Is this how it reacts in real life and or the sim or do I need to change something? thoughts?

Did you perhaps spend some time studying the Caravan in the cockpit and learning autopilot and GPS functions while on the ground? If so, boot up again and leave hands off the autopilot master switch until after takeoff and see if you get the results you expect.

June 24, 20214 yr 20 minutes ago, NZAA said: I’ve not touched the autopilot. Simple take off and VFR flight Understand. Try another flight. I reboot my system before each flight, whether FSX or MSFS. SOP for many many sim years. I flew the Caravan for about 12 hours last Fall with Saitek yoke and quadrants and did not experience the issue you describe. I transitioned to Honeycomb controls this year so have no recent relevant experience. Good luck to you. Hope you are able to overcome it. I had some lack of control issues with two other models when I spent time in the cockpits learning the systems and then taking off immediately after. Loss of control resulting in uncoverable spin. Rebooting and fresh start of MSFS without any screwing around in cockpit resulted in no new occurrences.

June 24, 20214 yr No expert but look into your sensitivity settings in simulator menu - I have a saitek yoke at the moment and had to play around with sensitivity settings not a perfect science so I can tell you exactly what to do Rich Sennett
