turbelance

[chas]

Hi ,I have tried to fly a gerated flight from Bricy to Orealns France ,once in a Cessana C152 with no Autopilot which I purchased ,and one with Cessana 172SP ,the one without the autopilot was impossible the turbelance kept throwing me from left to righ then back again so all the time was spent trying to keep on a straight path and couldnt climb to the alloted height of 5000 in fact never got to more than 2000 and I couldnt even get the air speed above 80 . So i tried it in the 172 thinking it might be me or the software , lovely until I turned off the Autopilot then I had the same probelum right to left ,left to right so back to Autopilot. I was wondering if anybody else has had this probelum. I appreciate my joystick is not the best (Microsoft forcefeedback 2) but didnt really have any probelum with FSX, is there maybe too much Turbelance or is it my Joystick? Any help would be gratefull.

I don't think it's something to do with IF weather or thermal & ridge, since there would be many reports. The Weather in IF does not get that harsh.

I would try a default fsx.cfg; make a copy of yours and then delete it, FSX will create a new one.
From the IF main page popup menu there are the Explorer Locations, FSX Config, that will take you to the directory where fsx.cfg can be found.

Done what you said Steve ,no different ,either the Aircraft software is fautly or I need another joystick .,still floating about all over the show doesnt maintain heading and still cant climb .lose power goes down to 80 knts like I said and there is no way I can get it to increase other drop the nose down then I lose height and then back to square one. By the way thanks for that parking your Aircraft tip , done what you said and thier there next time.

what about the stock baron, i always use that for tests. no other weather programs are active?

[Steve Waite]

The autopilot would not hold it steady in such fierce winds, I think it would still be choppy.

Yes it is but with the Autopilot correcting the constant change in headings I get a chance to reply to ATC and alter course ,which is nigh impossible without ,what is (stock baron). .One other question Flight Consistency ,how does it work? I have only flown 4 filghts and landed 3 and have a top score of 96.2364 yet other people have flown 10 flights and are under me, also I take ( ld) stands for landings then why have I (0) and all other people have (-)

Back again ,It must be that particular flight ,I just tried a flight in Wales gererated myself within the FSX in the Cessana 1152 with no probelum maily because the weather was fairly stable ,so they must for some resaon be a lot turbelance in that particular flight. I have also flown the gerearated flight in a Mooney Bravo and still quite stable so looks like its down to the weather and the aircraft combined.

tell me the date/time and dept/dest and i'll try it here...

[Steve Waite]

There are figures for turbulence in the logfile after the flight, home page popup menu.

Sunday July 29 this is my time, and this is the time the flight was generated June 01, 2012 2:23 PM Bricy to Orealns France which was when I first tried to fly it ,once in a Cessana C152.,the reason I have given my time and the generated time just in case there is a different setup, but my time is when I tried to fly. (Clear as mud ) as they say
