With the gust lock engaged, it should not be possible to move ailerons or elevators, controls seem to be locked when using a joystick, but not when using key bindings.
Always.
Engage gust lock, move controls using key bindings.
Not relevant.
…
Gust lock is working for me I think.
I can’t move the ailerons and elevators, but can still move the rudder.
There doesn’t seem to be any problem with the gust lock operation.
It is the same as Tuskin38 said.
I’ll try again, no idea why this thing is so intermittent. I was able to reproduce it twice yesterday. But I also had the aircraft spawn sometimes with the propellers in fine pitch instead of feathered, so maybe this was some weird glitch.
I can move the controls with gust lock ON. Using keyboard, not joystick and starting cold and dark not sure if that matters. The ATR gust lock system is mechanical so it shouldn’t matter whether power is applied or not.
Edit: doesn’t matter whether I start cold and dark or not, I can move the controls with gust lock engaged (using key bindings for ailerons and elevator).
Can the OP and contributors clarify if this testing is done in the AT46 or AT76? It seems that the two models may be experiencing vastly different issues.
Both models, same result.
When controlling the yoke with the keyboard, the yoke still moves regardless of whether the gust lock is engaged or not.
However, with an Xbox controller or other input devices, the yoke does not move when the gust lock is engaged.
It seems that the gust lock is not affecting keyboard inputs.
Yeah, I was using an Xbox controller
