F-86F Sabre Rocks Side to Side between waypoints on autopilo

Designing a stable autopilot is one of the hardest things. Need help?

So just keep everything else fine, but just change the kp to 0.35 im guessing your saying... I don't know FDM's very well, but I may try to do some work there.

I found the wing leveller to work OK with 0.35 there
If you want, we can do a mod of the HDG controller, and implement a wing leveller there, which will work better. Let me know if you want that!!

I didn't closely look at anything else, but if the FDM was repaired, there would be less problems.

For between waypoints, this isn't a PID controller problem, but rather how the default LNAV system works.
I solved this in my ITAF Autopilot by automatically advancing the waypoint when within 1 mile, so that it would not rock side to side. If you'd like to implement similar, I can advise for that to.

Regards,

Ill think about it, as I don't really know how much I will be flying with it after Im done with a movie I'm using it for. Part of me would like it fixed for other pilots who would like to fly this bird...

Alright
I'm not terrible with FDMs so I'll see if I have some spare time, maybe I can fix it a little.
