The MCP advanced Goflight works like a charme with it, it was nothing linked with the DC8 autopilot . It was just a current profile which was not compatible, that's all.

Played around for while with some different flights and the aircraft will drop like a bag of washing machines on a turn while the auto pilot is engaged and is completely unreliable in terms of altitude as well. Of course this is just my experience and may not be typical for others. But I will be surprised frankly, if this auto pilot is the norm how something so evident wasn't picked up during testing.

The control effectiveness and autopilot parameters in the aircraft.cfg file are poorly balanced.
If you know how, or want to try modifying these, save a copy of the original aircraft.cfg, then find each of these parameters and make these changes (the "//" entries at the end of a line are not executed, and save as a comment as to what I had before I made the latest change to a line): [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar=1.05 pitch_stability=0.75//1.0 roll_stability=1.0 yaw_stability=2.0 parasite_drag_scalar=1.0 induced_drag_scalar=1.0 elevator_effectiveness=1.1 aileron_effectiveness=1.0 rudder_effectiveness=1.25//0.75 elevator_trim_effectiveness=2.5//1.5 aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.0 rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.0 [Autopilot] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx max_bank=25.0 max_bank_acceleration=2.0//3.0 max_bank_velocity=3.5//5.00 max_throttle_rate=0.10 nav_proportional_control= 20.0 nav_integrator_control= 0.45 nav_derivative_control= 0.00 nav_integrator_boundary= 0.50 nav_derivative_boundary= 0.00 gs_proportional_control= 14.0 gs_integrator_control= 0.65 gs_derivative_control= 0.00 gs_integrator_boundary= 0.70 gs_derivative_boundary= 0.00 yaw_damper_gain = 1.0 They work for me ,and the plane hand flies better as well. |
