@Avionic said in v/s mode overly aggressive??:
Another unfortunate effect of this aggressive control, is that descend mode becomes quite the "bumpy" experience.
Every time the speed bug moves up a few knots, the AP rapidly pitches down to match, increasing VS by something like 1000 FPM. Then of course it has to slow down the descend again to not blow past the speed and it goes back towards the original descend rate, until it takes the next "step" and the cycle starts over.
If I understand correctly, this is the authentic Starship experience.
@Black-Square said in IAS PROF and DECSCEND jumping two knots at a time instead of progessive airspeed changes.:
The target airspeed jumps by two knots in that mode, because that is how the real aircraft works I asked one of the owners while sitting in the cockpit about this, and he described it as a "staircase" with the airplane noticeably popping up and down at each speed change. For this reason, he prefers to use pitch mode for smoothness. I still prefer IASP in the simulator, since I can't feel the bumps, but that's your call!
