I have three questions that I cannot solve by browsing the forum.
I decided to take a Cessna Caravan and fly over the Alps, choosing low altitude airways. In the navlog I set the cruising altitude to 16,000 … but after taking off ATC asked me to increase it to FL260. When I asked to reduce it by 10,000 - to 6,000 (?) (Probably took it from my flight plan) I was refused. Why is the controler asking me to increase my altitude that high? How to solve the problem? The maximum altitude of that craft is 25.000…
The AP was having trouble reaching FL260 (obviously)… I turned it off to gain some speed (my mistake as I wasn’t looking at my speed). However, this led to a second problem …
It has happened to me twice (once after the above situation and once 2 days ago) … I am flying a Cessna Caravan and after turning off the AP … the aircraft starts rolling even when my joystick is idling … When I turn on the autopilot … (ie by turning on heading AP), it holds the course but the wings are skewed to the side to compensate for the roll. What’s happening? Is this a bug?
Is it normal to have a huge FPS drop when using a third party scenery pack? I installed one to improve my home city and the drop was from 45+ to 5-15. Its unflyable.
ATC does all kinds of stupid things. It’s known, and an upgrade to the ATC is in the works for a future update.
Don’t have an answer for that one.
Typically if it’s well optimized, that shouldn’t happen. At least not a huge drop in FPS. The worse culprits are freeware sceneries which are wholesale photogrammetry rips from Google Earth and packaged up as scenery packs. They’re huge, unoptimized, and can do exactly what you described. I tend to steer clear of any scenery that isn’t hand-crafted for that very reason.
@CrunchyBob1228@ImDrako2132 Thank you.
As for the scenery pack … I installed a free scenery pack where the texture source was Google Earth … so that was probably cousing the fps drop. Thank you.
For answer 1 I looked up the alps has heights between 6 and 8 thousand feet and think there is minimum altitude from terrain height varies in countries, may have meant it wouldn’t allow 6 thousand feet.
Your stick and/or rudders are either not centering properly, or are generating erroneous input spikes. As recommended above go to your sensitivity settings in game and adjust the deadzone and neutral points until the control dot stays in the flat areas of the graph.
I set the altitude before flying in the flight plan to 16,000 feet. Immediately after I took off, the controller asked me to reach and hold 16,000 feet. However, right after being transferred to the Milan Center, I was asked to go to FL260 (?). Then I thought … ok, I want to go back from 26,000 to 16,000 (my initial flight plan), so chose the option (from ATC) to decrease my altitude by 10,000. However, after I selected -10,000 from the menu, the voice asked to decrease it to 6,000 (which was not my initial intention). I was denied … probably because it was too low to fly over Alps (or for another reason). However, I don’t see an option to get my altitide back to my flight plan … and as I flew the Cessna I would eventually be drop from ILS … because I wasn’t able to reach that altitude … this seems broken.
As for the stick… I think it may by the cable port thing of my X52 Pro… The port is kind of loose (bad desing in my opinion) and it may lose the conection. The aircraft is banked to the side by like 30 degrees when AP is enebled to compansete for the side leaning… The only soltuion I found so far is restart the flight.
