The real trouble is called A321.

That A/C is by far the worst. I will try that on it.

Every help is welcomed.

Cheers and thanks everyone.

IRL and in the sim all airplanes should have elevator trim set for takeoff. For larger airplanes there can be a wide range of trim settings depending on payload and fuel. If you have the time you can, through flight testing or through calculation, come up with a table of good settings for various loads. As a first guess a setting of -0.15 to -0.2 seems to work well.

-0.15? really? Hm, I'll try that. thats an all-around good setting for a normal pax/fuel load as far as Im aware. I'll check though. faa for the usa and australia has an aviation department thingy

Some bad and good news. Bad ones.

Still no way to solve the problems with this problematic family .

So I will have to ask again,common at least someone ,what and where to change?

After a lot of changing and testing,the aircraft (A321) takes off normally,at about 160 . On the climb-out,tends to up to 20 -30 deg,not so easy to control. When retracting flaps,it reacts with a unpredictable diving...which is quite tricky to control. After enabling the autopilot,the plane stabilizes and follows the set VS ,IAS, heading....everything.

When leveling off on the selected alt,there is no pitch -dive that goes on and on,like before. Now pitch is higher than normal,and it stays like that though out the flight.

I have also tried to use the FDM data from some old Omega's A330 which is 98% the same as the A320 ,but the result was catastrophic. Just to say ,that A330 have one of the most reliable FDMs I have ever seen. Even without the FBW ,i's really nice plane to fly on.




So after adding just this one fdm function from that old A330 to the A321's fdm and some changes to the elevators,I managed to achieve this current behavior of the A321.


Code: Select all
    <function name="aero/force/Lift_flap">
       <description>Delta Lift due to flaps</description>
       <product>
           <property>aero/qbar-psf</property>
           <property>metrics/Sw-sqft</property>
           <property>fcs/flap-pos-deg</property>
           <value> 0.03 </value>
       </product>
    </function>



So now it looks like this:

Now ,the problem seems to be the insufficient lift of the wings .

Does anyone have some idea how to fix this completely?


Good ones.
I think I'm close to solving the rudder hard over on start up.

Thank you all. .

I 'm giving up of any further work on this.

Mostly because I just can't do it. The FDM is one huge disaster and there's nothing I can do.

Also,the reason is that I had no support or help from anyone here.

You just don't care...all of you.

Of course I don't care; I don't fly this thing!

However, I am two thirds down a road to hell by trying to make a MSFS 727 fly closer to the published numbers. And as the situation is similar to yours, here's what I've learned so far...

1. You need tons of time.
2. You need performance manuals for the aircraft and its engines.
3. You need documentation of the simulator's handling of flight dynamics.
4. You need a basic understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft performance.
5. You need honest dedication to see this through.

Put all five into a blender and the end result should be something usable or at least something better than the current state.

If you think that fixing a complete flight dynamics envelope is something that can be done on a rainy afternoon while someone holds your hand on live-chat, you're dead wrong. You need a bloody lot of time, you *really* need to study if you don't have the background (I, for myself, don't) and, in worst case. you're on your own all along the way. Flight dynamics engineering isn't the most popular activity among aircraft developers (at least in the MSFS world) and experts for consultation are hard to come by.

So if you really want to see this thing fixed, do more ground work or throw it away and try the A320neo model.

But in any case, never, ever again, accuse the bunch of volunteers keeping FG running of "not caring". People have only so much time available for FG a day and have absolutely no obligation for "serve-cut up-munch-swallow" levels of support.

The reason why I was trying to fix that,is that my PC can't run the Omega's Neo.

And before you start talking about some nice and shiny "machine" I will tell you this,I can't have anything better,and probably I won't have better ever.

Not everyone have all the best. :cry:

Okay, so using the NEO is not an option then and I'm cool with that.
This, however, means that you really have to do some digging, studying and calculating now if you want this bird to fly by the numbers!

Start with the YASIM (or JSB) documentation and primarily determine if they suggest anything in terms of tackling flight dynamics creation.
Then try to find as much info on the A320 as possible. Determine what aerodynamic equations you can solve with the given info on the A320 and work your way from these to the other equations. If you have the aerodynamic info hacked into the FD file, you should get some usable drag numbers. With these drag numbers, you can tackle engine performance with which you *should* be able to results reasonably close to the published numbers. If you don't have data for some variables, make assumptions and tweak them until you're content.
And if you don't understand what some equations do: Google and Wikipedia. There's lots of at least semi-usable info about them on the web!

(Or just use the NEO's flight dynamics information, add a bit of drag and decrease engine efficiency and you should get something resonably close to a regular A320.)

Nice to see some understanding here... :D

Ok first of all,A320 has the complete FDM,but something in it,is making it to have some weird pitch-dive behavior. It goes up-down,on and on....and all of that is after enabling the AP. With the increase of weight,this problem becomes muuuuuuuch more present. It goes to the point when the aircraft just stalls and goes down....

By pure chance ,I found the way to reduce that weird behavior,so it's basically out. But then there's something else,the nose is quite high up. It can fly like that but landing is more than difficult ...impossible. So I found a way to put some data from some old A330 made by Omega (I will post the screenshot of it here) ,which lowered the nose a bit down but still that's waaay to problematic to be good.

I 'm aware that the nose should be a little bit up,but not like it is now. Also,I tried to use the data from NEO,but as strange as it may look,it's almost (ok 98% ) the same as it is in the A320 Family. The main difference is "Fly by Wire" which in Neo ,helps the FDM to make the aircraft more stable and the overall behavior of the aircraft much more reliable.. You just know that the aircarft will react and fly just the way you want it.

I will post here the .xml files of both,A320 and that old A330 ,so if anyone else have some idea ,I'm ready to do it.

Thanks everyone and of course ,thanks Bjoern.

Cheers

BTW ,would it possible to use the FDM data from the 737-300?

Main difference between 737 and 320 - Fly by Wire.
To make realistick behaviour from the sidestick, it must not be connected directly to control surface. Signal from elevator (if build very easy model) sets normal acceleration in Z axis. If sidestick is in neutral position - aircraft tries to maintain acceleration at 1G. If it fully pulled, then AC tries to make something like 2.5G (depends on flaps position). In my 737 I have autopilot, which controls pitch via acceleration. So it's possible to do the same thing for A320. Taking whole FDM from another aircraft can be not best idea, IMHO.
Boeing 737-300. Reworked cockpit, FDM, autopilot and much more. WIP.
Boeing 737-800. WIP. Canvas PFD and ND.
Antonov An-24B. Made from scratch. Very good FDM. 3D model by Adrian. WIP.
Project Russia (some cities, based on OSM with custom objects).

OK....thanks for clearing that up.

So I will have to find something useful from some other Airbus.

Talking of which,here are two .xml files ,first one is from this Airbus A330-200 (247) .

This is some old A330 made by Omega ,which is very,very close to the A320 Family ,regarding the FDM ,which on this aircraft is very good one. It's the behavior I would like to see on the A320. Since this family of aircraft ,doesn't have the FBW like the Neo,no need for some complicated systems or something.
The worst floods in the Balkans ever,follow these links to learn more how to help. Thank you.

Your problem sounds like a borked center of gravity.

Try setting it (below <location name="CG" unit="IN">) to 0,0,0 (x,y,z) for a start and recheck.



General observation: YASIM FD files are so friggin' much cleaner and leaner than .air files for MSFS. Wow!

To "0" ? :?

OK ,but that will make a chaos in the FDM. I guess it could be like the A340-600 which jumps around when almost empty..but I will try.

Thanks.
