Poll: Assistance - Piloting- Aircraft Systems OFF

[airmanparker]

So I finally got my Bravo throttle quadrant mapped for flight controls, AP/FMS, etc on the Cessna C172 G1000 default. For some reason I thought it would be interesting to chane the Assistence Piloting and Aircraft Systems to Hard and all settings off.

Keep in mind that it was my understanding that the modern flight model was considered the most realistic and didn’t know you could change other settings like the ones above. I have the Alpha Yoke as well for the flight controls. The main points are take-off auto-rudder Assisted Yoke, taking off, and landing. I wanted the most realistic settings as you would find like in other sims.

I began take off as I normally would, (bad habit of not using the checklist aftere engine startup procedures) full power, IAS at 40 LTS and the nose is coming up. I was like WTF it’s not even at rotation speed. So I applied forward yoke to keep the nose on the ground to reach 65 kts or so, then pull back on the yoke. I was then surprised and also thinking in my head if this was the real deal and what was I using before.

Meanwhile, I start getting yelled at, STALL! STALL! STALL! STALL! I then tried to correct thinking my AOA was way out of wack. Trim? I don’t normally? Then while trying to correct with pitching the nose down, I get yelled at for SINK rate. WTF over. Correcting my pitch up and down fighting the plane up to 3000 ALT so I can level out and test my AP/FM binding switch worked great by the way.

Time to land, so I approach like I would without HARD settings turned on, I flare and bounce like I’m at a might club getting a special. WTF happened to my ground effect trained landings. I still got a smooth landing and clap from LRM client.

I had to research trimming in real life looking at YouTube videos, and it seems that I need to pitch the nose down before or during takeoff. But the checklist as neutral.

Who has Assistance Piloting OFF and all settings to Hard?

Who has it set to default?

What do you think of it? More realistic?

I’m looking for the most realism, and for now only do VFR.

I set everything to Hard/True to Life as a base, then I only turn the Taxi Ribbon assistance on.

This is because only I fly the A320 exclusively, and assistance actually “fights” against the flight computers actually trying to kill me when it’s on. So I keep them off so the flight computers can do their job properly and I get to fly the A320 the right way.

I just tried to map the Beachcraft King Air 350i (default in game) and 50% or more of the controls are in-op or are in the cockpit for looks. What a joke!

Could not get to much of the Flight Management controls to work on the top panel of the ■■■■ pit. The Bravo FD panel worked for the Garman FM PFD settings. Then had the low FPS graphics performance issue during climb and heading towards Atlanta, so could not mess with the FD settings.

But the King Air 350i took off ok with Assistance Piloting on Hard and all settings set to off.
