First, is there a max value for the camber value on the AE? If I change the
camber from 1.0 to 2.0 and save and resync, then do a restart, then make my
aircraft (Glider ) on ground position the force vectors (green) on the wing
don’t remain in the same position. How do these force vectors work I thought
they would remain stationary - and be a static calculation. Glider devs would
have a difficult time setting this if they are dynamic. Please se the video of
me changing camber and doing a resync and restart and forcing the glider
position to change it’s rest position. https://youtu.be/p-8rD9CQ470 edit:
you will also notice in the vid that my ailerons seem to work in reverse,
however when I just fly the aircraft without AE active they work correctly. -
weird.
Hello @DA40CGDFQ The way those vectors show up depend on the geometry so it’s
expected that they move upon Save&Resync; after the geometry was changed but
not in the way demonstrated in your video. Do you still have those issues with
the latest flighting build? I ran some tests on the DA62 but couldn’t
reproduce the problem. Can you give us access to your package in case this
happens in a specific case? Regards, Sylvain
Hello @DA40CGDFQ Regarding the ailerons, since you’ve mentioned you had a bit
of crosswind, depending on where the wind is coming from the vectors will
change and I think it makes sense. Maybe I’m missing something here, you’ll
tell me if you agree: - With the wind coming from the front, the aileron in
the up position will push the wing downwards
the back, the aileron in the up position will push the wing upwards
- With the wind coming at 90°,
ailerons have almost no effect
Regarding the points where the vectors are drawn, I was able to witness the
behavior. I’m not sure it’s related to the Save&Resync; action, these points
seem to move with control input or plane orientation (relative wind maybe?) I
will keep investigating this and come back to you. Regards, Sylvain
Yes I agree with aileron issue, the wind from slightly behind and side caused
the wing to move opposite to what I thought should happen. The aircraft was
weather caning with the wind and moved to a position to cause this.
