PC-6 Issues - MSFS 2020

[michel.buehler]

Hello Dear Support Team

Prefix: The DRM-Service is running on my system, PC-6 is directly in the community folder - not via Add-On-Linker

I am currently encountering following issues:

1) Sometimes, the plane would not work (behave as if DRM would kick-in) - if I reboot MSFS 2020 it is usually ok - a tad annoying
2) I often forget to trim back the rudder after take off - in this case, I then can not trim back (like 2 - 3 min after take off - rudder trim won't budge)
3) If I do NOT trim seriously the aileron, the plane would (usually) go into a left spiral (over the left wing). This is NOT stall - speed is OK - Flaps are up
- only aileron-trim would help
4) In general the plane "hangs to the left" in the air instead of being "level flying" - this happens with clear weather and no cargo as well
5) The Autopilot is - imho - currently completely broken. If I create a flightplan and let the plane follow the GPS (NAV-Mode), following happens:
The plane would gradually go sideways... I have to "release" the AP - the plane then "snaps back" and it starts all over. If you speed up by 4x
you can literally see it happen. In rare cases this does NOT happen and the plane does kinda "autocorrect" itself to face the course head-on.
6) Rarely the plane would just not follow HDG-Course
7) AP: If you set an altitute and then click on "Up" the plane would immediately go very steep up. One can avoid this by clicking on ALT and then on
"Up". Then the AP let's you set 100, 200, 300 etc. climbrate
8) I mapped "Reverse Propeller Trust" - but it seems to me that this is not happening

Now, this all sounds quite negative - but I am very much enjoying the plane when I just take it for short hops without AP and DRM is not bitching around.

Oh - and as a side note: It would be kinda cool if there would be somebody in the discord helping out answering questions. As of know, there are usually 1 - 2 MV-Ppl on (active) - but they would never really help/answer. This is a bit weird - I feel that discord would be the place where we could get "low-level-help" - but so far never ever a MV-User would engage or help. Maybe this is intended? And if so - why?

I would be very happy if you could let me know if those issues are "known issues" you guys are working on or if it is "just me" and I am not doing stuff right

The helper service is getting removed in the next version so that should be resolved.

Regarding the AP it sounds like your hardware may not have a big enough dead zone causing the aircraft to wander.

What hardware are you using for throttle?

[michel.buehler]

Hi Slayer
I am using Logi X-56.

Will check the deadzones!

I would try the new version also while you are at it.

[michel.buehler]

Hi Steve

Just installed the new version and - it is a new plane! OK - I may have to test a bit more in depth but the first flight already was a big difference.
I did not encounter the issues mentioned above.

And - thanks for the new livery - we surely appreciate!

OK - if I stumble over some "old bugs as shown above" I certainly will tell you in the next 1 - 2 days. If you have no different news you can regard this as "closed".

Thanks for your teams great effort!

Three kinda minor issues that are still there:

1) The fuel gauge in the cockpit and the one in 3rd person disagree. Cockpit shows less and it seems to be the one that the plane uses to decide when
"lights go out"

2) When you enter an altitude for the AP and you hit the "up" button which should now allow you to set the climbrate reacts a bit strange: You hit it and
the plane goes in a steep climb. If you immediately hit "ALT" and then again UP it would let you set the climb rate as it should from the beginning.
This issue is (unfortunately) not happening consistently so i cannot be sure what it triggers

3) If I forget to trim back the rudder after takeoff immediately, I will not be able to trim it back at all. I hit the trim lever but the rudder won't budge.
If I (miracuosly) remind myself to trim back right after take off - it will let me do this - BUT - later in the flight I will never again be able to trim the
rudder.

As for the strange sideways drifting while in AP - it is almost gone. I mean, in clear sky the plane should go level and straight - but I still have to trim quite the aileron and the plane still goes slightly sideways (mostly (always?) pointing with the nose to the left of the flightpath).

Hope that helps? Surely a step in the right direction!


Will continue checking other stuff

For item 3 one of the testers suggested to use trim reset shortcut key.

[th.brings]

Could it be that you have the autopilot on?
As soon as you turn on the autopilot you cant trim rudder back.
If you turn off autopilot you can trim it again.

[michel.buehler]

Hi
No, the AP is off. But thanks for the suggestion!

I deleted the serial info , please never never post that in the forums or people can take your key. I checked that key number it is valid. try to copy/paste it and do not have any extra spaces.
