So how am I supposed to fly this thing on controller on Xbox? I don’t get it. I can take off by pulling back on the stick then press the button to make it go forward but then I can’t control anything else. I can’t bank or tilt the aircraft with the gamepads left stick. It does nothing.

Check if it works fine from the runway I got this problem from cold & dark.

Yup. Seems to be a cold and dark issue. Thanks.

I can’t figure out why I randomly get Systems Engine failure in cruise. I couldn’t find anything specific in the manual. Guessing it’s a bug between the model and the sim.

Every fly… let’s wait debug :slight_smile:

This aircraft has been quit fun to fly. I had to re-wire my thinking from flying helicopters to the Joby as the left controller manages speed vs a collective handling climbs/descends. I don’t think there is an AP but works well without it.

I think the issues with “engine malfunctions” happen if you start cold & dark. I’ve flown multiple legs after starting on the runway or helipad and no issues. This thing is definitely cool.

It works fine as long as you start with it running on the runway or helipad. If you try and start cold and dark anywhere else its uncontrolable.

Its fun to fly when it works though. My pilots head sticking out of the top of it is annoying.

If starting from the runway makes you mad, like it makes me mad, then you can do the following:
Start from the runway, turn everything off, slew the plane to a parking spot. And now you are free to start it again as if it were c&d but it will work fine.
This can be used for example if you want to fly on vatsim, you connect once you have slewed the plane to a parking spot.
