I've been making adjustments to make the handling a bit more realistic for this L-188. Now it has a strange glitch. It's like the aircraft has epilepsy. When I load the aircraft to fly it jerks and shakes all over without me touching any controls.

Anyone got a clue what could be causing this? It'll even kick off some tire smoke once in a while. Embarrassed

It has to do with changing fuel in the game. If I don't mess with it, the aircraft is steady, if I change the fuel setting it gets all jittery. I can change it in the CFG file and do a clean load and it is fine, but when I change in the game, it goes nuts.

This tells me all, some how you must have inadvertantly adjusted some weight variables that are causeing this, and when your adjusting fuel the plane is doing what it does, now if it does this when you add more fuel that may also indicate more to the under lieing issue, but I actually had this happen with one plane i was working on awhile back and that was what my situation wound up being....perhaps this is what your experiencing?

Well, the lower I set the fuel the more it does it. If the tanks are full, it's rock steady. But if I have the mains full and the aux empty it does it. If there's at least 30% in all four tanks, it seems ok, but as I get below that it starts getting jittery. Once I hit 20% it's real bad and even if I keep one set full and the others at 20% or less, it's all jittery. Sad

***After going back over all my numbers and settings I discovered I screwed up the formula for the Yaw MOI. I now have everything correct and it's steady when I change fuel. Cheesy

Thanks for the help. Cool

see I had the feeling you messed up somethin inadvertantly even if it wasnt with fuel exactly, I also had the feeling it coulda been either pitch, yaw or roll that got messed up, glad you found the issue and got it resolved! Cheesy
