Hi!

Recently I cannot lift up my KA350 any longer. I try using the Joystick which works very fine with every other aircraft, but the KA350 simply does not T/O. I wonder if I changed the aircraft.cfg? Anyone an idea where to get the default aircraf.cfg? Or any idea which parameters have to be changed to have a bigger impact when using a joystick? Only the elevator doesn't work, all the rest is fine ...

Here is what my aircraft.cfg says about the elevator and the keyboard:

[keyboard_response]
//Breakpoint speeds (knots) on the keyboard increments of control surfaces.
//Speed at which the incremenet is reduced to  1/2 and 1/8 respectively.
elevator = 150, 250
aileron  = 150, 250
rudder   = 150, 250


And this is about the geometry:

elevator_up_limit       = 17.0                  //Degrees
elevator_down_limit     = 15.5                  //Degrees
aileron_up_limit        = 18.0                  //Degrees
aileron_down_limit      = 18.0                  //Degrees
rudder_limit            = 30.0                  //Degrees
elevator_trim_limit     = 15.0                  //Degrees
spoiler_limit           = 60.0                  //Degrees


And finaly Flight Tuning:

[flight_tuning]
...
elevator_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_effectiveness  = 1.0
rudder_effectiveness   = 1.0
...
elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0

... thanks, but the AP is off. Actually I only set the "Altitude" and "ClimbRate", of course, but AP is off until a positiv climbrate is reached. Hm, I will take a look at the CD than.

... I changed "effectiveness" to 5 after several different attempts and it works now. Very interesting, somehow.

...mmm....that shouldn't have been necessary really....my parameters are the same as you posted and I have no difficulty with T/O.....and if your stick works with other planes it won't be that either.

I'd be inclined to get the plane "anew" from the disc and try that......must be something else but can't think what offhand....... I tend to slew up to a good height in those circumstances and check out the controls from a safe altitude......

 good luck...commoner
