I have been playing with FlightGear recently, having
not looked at it for a while, and have a couple of
questions.
The first is - should the Cessna constantly turn to
the left? I know that planes don't fly straight and
level without input from the pilot, but this seems
extreme. With my hands off the controls it will roll
almost to 90 degrees within a few seconds. I have to
keep the joystick permanently over to the right to try
to keep it on course. This wouldn't be so bad if
FlighGear would let me trim the craft to counteract
the roll, but I can't see anything in the
documentation about this. It seems that you can trim
the pitch of the plane, but that's it.
The second question is - does the autopilot work? I
have tried entering course and altitude settings and
enabling the Heading and Pitch/Altitude controls, but
this doesn't seem to have any effect. This could well
be my operator error, but I really can't find a way to
get the thing to work.
Sorry for the length of this post, but if I could just
get these things sorted out it would make FlightGear a
much more enjoyable experience.
TIA
Andrew
