Flight Dynamics problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, 
Just purchased the Tornado and installed it into P3D V2 and I've noticed that when flying straight with plenty of speed that the aircraft looses altitude. This issue happens even if the aircraft is trimmed correctly and the wing position has no effect on the issue. 

Many thanks.

Conner

	When you say "flying straight and level with plenty of speed", are you using the HUD to give you reference for this? In FSX (I don't have P3D to test with), I don't have any descending when the aircraft is straight and level - see folowing screenshots, taken at 230, 400 and 800+ kts, all with correct sweep angles for speed: If it is the HUD which you are using to determine straight and level, this is a known problem and is being worked on.

	It is the HUD that I was referring to. Thank you very much for your reply and answer :)

	No problem, glad to be of help - just wanted to make sure there wasn't a flight dynamics problem! The HUD has been discussed, once the initial performance issues are sorted it is on the 'to do' list.
