• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AI FDE problem in FSX

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my AI C-5's to fly a proper VFR pattern, and I'm not having much luck. I'm using the AI version of the Alphasim C-5 Galaxy in FSX:A.

Basically, it will takeoff, start a turn towards downwind, but will continue turning until almost perpendicular to the runway (inbound), before starting a turn outbound at about 45 degrees away the runway. Then it will turn back inbound and make a reasonable 1 mile final before landing normally.

I want it to simply fly a rectangular pattern, instead of the funky "kidney" shaped one it's flying now.

I've swapped out the air file to several other FSX native aircraft in an attempt to correct the behavior, but most seem to have little effect. I've tried the default 737, A321, 747, even the King Air.

Oddly enough, as a last resort I assigned it the C-172 air file, and it now flies a proper pattern, at normal C-5 speeds (I guess the aircraft.cfg data is somehow overriding the .air file).

Unfortunately, it is really squirrely around the yaw axis. I'm actualy happy with the performance of the C-5 using the Cessna FDE, but I need to fix the yaw instability.

Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks so much!

Nick
