ISSUE DESCRIPTION
In all phases of flight the RHI Twist function controls yaw/heading except in the Hover Phase.
The Manual Page 17 Table and Page 18 first paragraph descriptions disagree with each other.
Page 17 Control Response Table Hover Phase
- RHI : Left/Right : Bank/Side-Slip Control
- RHI : Twist : Heading Control
(These would be the intuitive control responses)
Page 18 First paragraph
RHI (Right Hand Inceptor); Last sentence:
Deflecting left or right changes the aircraft’s heading.
(Confusing control logic and no mention of the RHI Twist Function)
The flight model unfortunately doesn’t obey the control logic in the table on page 17. The twist function causes the a/c to translate left and right whereas left/right on the stick causes the a/c to yaw.
This certainly isn’t the expected behaviour and I very much doubt any certification agency would accept this confusing control logic when in all other phases of flight the controls behave as expected.
RECOMMENDATION
- Correct Manual Page 18 first paragraph to agree with the table on page 17
- Add a description of the Twist function to the same paragraph
- Correct the aircraft behaviour in Hover so that twist/rudder controls yaw/heading and stick left/right controls Bank/Side-slip
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: Archer Midnight
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
1.Hover the aircraft and observe the response to twist/rudder pedals. Expected behaviour would be to yaw but instead the aircraft will translate sideways in the direction of control deflection.
5.Conversely move the stick left or right and the aircraft will yaw in that direction.
6.Compare the table on page 17 with the first paragraph on page 18
