mj 747-400 just can't keep straight

Postby batmanflies » Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:34 am

hey guys,
lately, I downloaded a Meljet 747-400 British Air ac. When I take off, the airplane just can't seem to keep straight while taking off. The ailerons will roll and the plane tilts away from the rwy. Plus, this ac is so diffiult to taxi. Is it me or what?

Thanks for help!

Just shows you should do a search before asking.

See my thread on a similar subject posted three days ago!

alerons roll? is the ac trying to fly by its self see if the auto piolet is on other than that make shure its nice weather  another thing might be that only one of the engines is controlled by your throttle. if you have one
big or small i like them all ...? that dosent sound right
slew mode dose not count as flying

That's a good point, make sure the autopilot is off, i've done that before! If it is off though, delete the FS9.cfg file and it should fix it.

I suggest you check out your throttles to make sure they all are moving. They can come undocked and all not move so when you throttle up only one side is coming up and not the other.
With engines off open up the throttle window and use your joytick or whatever you use to make your throttles increase and decrese with and wath the throttles if ony one side moves you found the problem usually pressing F4 or F1 will re set the throttles but some times it will not. If you still can not get them to work correctly try deleting your fs9cfg file.
Also make sure all of the engines are running. 8)

simple guess:

turn off the autopilot ;)

(i've seen it happen before)

thanks for all the replies, but it happens that autopilot is already turned off and all throttles are working fine :). Maybe I should take a screen shot right and post it here.

Must be the .cfg file then. Dump it!
