It' s possible to fine tune the AP (AUTO PILOT)!
At the end of my first post I wrote:
btw.: according to the FPL my last trip included a steep turn of more than 290°. It was for the first time that I let the AP follow the selected track. I was a little disappointed when I realized how the acft executed this 'steep turn'. Even my grandmother would have said 'this is what I call a smooth ride', I think. I would have expected a more military jet-like turn with a banking of more than 45° and pulling some g' s next to 2 or so. But ...Studying the 'aircraft'-file I found three lines which read
max_bank=27,14
max_bank_acceleration=1.8
max_bank_velocity=3.00
by default.
Changing them to
max_bank=42,5
max_bank_acceleration=2.8
max_bank_velocity=3.90
results in a much more direct performance of the AUTO PILOT. The acft executes steep turns within the filed track more precisely after changing the three lines.
The only disadvantage: my grandmother has to stay at home now
Please make sure that you will create a safety copy of the aircraft file before making any changes.
