IAS PROF and DECSCEND jumping two knots at a time instead of progessive airspeed changes.
-
Hey Nick,
First off, loving the plane. Just something relatively minor I noticed when using the Profile IAS climb and DECEND modes. It seems that airspeed on the indicator jumps two knots instead of 1 knot a time at certain points. I'm guessing because the climb/descent rate can't keep up with 1 knot intervals. I read in another post that you said you had to make the AP more aggressive due to Asobo's AP implementation combined with the canard wing. Just with the 2 knot jumps in airspeed change it makes it difficult maintain a constant rate of descent. When doing a slower climb or descent it the AP seems smooth as butter. Not sure if the airspeed jumps are just a thing we'll have to live with due to a MSFS limitation but I thought I'd mention it. Still loving every minute flying this thing! Currently recording a video if it helps. -
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! -
