Yes - the instrument should be caged before attempting aerobatics. Same 
for directional gyros I believe.

Indeed it does reset, after about 10 minutes flying.

So intended feature then?

This sounds like a toppled gyro to me - does it slowly right itself if 
you maintain level flight?

[Flightgear-devel] BUG(?) with broken artificial horizon in c172p

2008-01-16 Thread AnMaster
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

After a report from a windows user about broken artificial horizon after a roll 
in c172p and
SenecaII (using 1.0), I tried this. I do not know if it is a feature or a bug, 
but after a roll in
c172p the artificial horizon is indeed no longer correct, but pointing some 30 
degrees bank to
either side as upwards. I can reproduce this with c172p cvs version in both 
plib and osg branches. I
did not manage to reproduce it using SenecaII, but maybe it changed since 1.0 
release.
