:wave: Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

no

Which aircraft are you using that experiences this issue?

SR22T G6

Brief description of the issue:

When hand flying there is always a tendency to bank slightly to the left. This is not due to cross-wind but happens also with tailwind. I never observed this with the other GA planes (e.g. DA40). I hope this is not the intended behaviour.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Fly (without AP) and notice that you always have to correct the left bank.

PC specs and peripheral set up:

4070, 7800x3d, 1440p

Are you using DX11 or DX12?

DX11

Are you using DLSS?

no

This is perfectly normal for a single prop plane.

Thanks for your reply.

Does this mean that it is not modeled properly on the Diamond DA40ng?

I have to say I don’t recall having to constantly correct during cruise when I flew the SR22 (non T) a few years ago.

Two other things you might check just to see how it responds…
Do you have a fuel imbalance? Might make sure it’s not heavy on the left side, since it doesn’t automatically change tanks, although it will give you a warning.

You might also try it with a copilot of the same weight as your pilot and see if that affects the turning tendency.
In this plane, neither of these may make any changes in the issue, but it’s a factor in some other aircraft occasionally.

Good suggestions, I checked both right away. Fuel is level and two pilots are configured according to MSFS W&B and the MFD internal W&B page. (77kg each + 32kg TKS).

Just to clarify, I’m talking about cruise flight, not during take-off. I just compared it again to the C172 and there all is good, but the SR22T is quickly banking to the left (about 1° increase per second).

Is this to be expected?
Does it behave the same for others?

How do you deal with it? Constant rudder input, which is not that great with rudder on the stick?

I had about the same issue. A slight left-turning tendency in cruise that got worse as it continued the roll. I’ll admit I “cheated” a bit, but I solved it by inputting a small “right elevator trim” adjustment. I have no clue if this version of the SR-22T has a ground-adjustable aileron trim tab, but I justified it by assuming it does, and wrote the issue up with a Red W in the maintenance log, and was corrected and signed off by MX. In any case, it gave me a much more stable platform in cruise and made hand flying it a lot more enjoyable until the issue is resolved in the sim.

Thank you for this release!
I am a real life Cirrus SR22 G6 owner and here are my initial comments that
I would like them to be fixed.

  • The aircraft has too much tendency to roll left during climb out and cruise.
  • The SR22T has 3 blades (Wide) or 4 Narrow blades by Hartzell. (Important to fix!!!)
    the current model represents the non-turbo version, fix this annoying mistake.

  • The nose gear seats incorrectly, it needs to be lifted up a little bit more.

FYI, (steady) wind has absolutely NO effect on an aircraft in flight. Regardless if it’s cross, tail or headwind

Very nice. is yours a T cos you don’t mention that. Or are all G6’s T’s?

I hope this wasn’t you recently! :grimacing:

  • The aircraft does not auto correct too much bank angle. ESP

  • Sometimes, when clicking on the exterior lights, it suddenly engages the parking brake.

Hey, No. Mine is naturally aspirated engine. non-turbo. But I have hours in 22T as well.
btw, that was a Lancair IV-P not SR22.

This bug report is specific to the left-hand tendency originally filed. Please file separate bug reports. The tire/contact point was already reported elsewhere, so please be sure to seek reports first and contribute there before opening your own. Thank you.

I also fly the SR-22 G6 (non-turbo).

Two additional squawks:

  1. There are no colored indicator lights for the flaps control.
  2. In some situations, the blue lighting around some of the buttons on the center console do not shut off when the BAT, ALT and Avionics switches are set to off.

This is why I don’t tend to hand fly after entering cruise. The recent, vastly improved NX1000 is awesome, and I just engage AP to my destination. Be sure to enable CDI to GPS mode (magenta line), or else your plane will fly according to your HDG instead. FYI, this gets the SR-22 out of ROL mode which is also a common question.

Beautfil sim! Life is good.

Please open separate reports. This will not get picked up in this dedicated report which has already been ingested into Dev Team queue.
