Olympic B737-284 attitude problem

Postby flipside » Sun Jul 13, 2008 10:21 pm

I have the Olympic Boeing 737-284 from pg 11 of FS9 Civil Jets and when I get to a cruising altitude above about 26,000 feet on autopilot
the nose of the aircraft begins to bounce up and down. Also, the elevator trim wheel is way too touchy. I installed a new panel hoping that would take care of it but alas-no difference. It doesn't bother me much, but my passengers are puking all over the cabin upholstrey. Is there an adjustment I can make in the aircraft.cfg file to smooth out this problem? :P

To smooth out the problem, DELETE the plane.

Go to AVSIM and search for Tinmouse II

It is one of the best 737-200's made

The other best 737-200 is here, http://www.eastern-va.com/vistaliners/

Alias the Tinmouse panel for the VistaLiner 737-200's

You will be much happier

Hi flipside.

The yeodesigns 732 is the only -200 with a clickable VC as far as I know, so if you want a VC you've got little choice. You could try changing the following setting in the aircraft.cfg file to stop the 'porpoising' effect: in the [flight_tuning] section you'll see the entry;

pitch_stability=1.000

increast the to 1.5 to see it it stops, or take it further if it doesn't. The plane unfortunately uses 'classic' instrumentation which isn't authentic for the -200.

I agree with Allen: for a realistic -200 experience, (without a VC unfortunately) then the TinMouse II panel allied to the excellent Vistaliners -200 model is unbeatable. The panel even comes with instructions on using the Vistaliners model and provides the FD for it. And for one of the best DVCs out there, there's indeed the 737 Experience...

;)
