Sorry if this thread had negative impact on this forum. My knowledge about taildragger aircrafts has become more profound and I actually landed the Pitts without any ground loop(no assistance on). Thank you for your help and constructive feedback. I'm thinking about deleting this thread. May I?

I agree with the other pals on this thread. Discussing is always good to learn and improve our experience on this fantastic flight simulator. Only one thing I would do to this thread: just adding in caps lock to the title the word SOLVED, so who looks at the title could immediately acknowledge that this plane is not the worst, but one which requires a steeper learning curve and which gives great satisfaction once you train and get the correct philosophy to pilot it.

You mean, is the violent bouncing during ground loop realistic and does it happen in real life? If it is true, I’m not complaining. But I have a concern:in analog controls, the rudder control is right under the throttle control, and it is just impossible to use both of them simultaneously. This makes Truncana ’s procedures literally impossible to achieve on my cell phone. Please consider to improve design of control elements.

Nothing to say about control layout (I use inclination mode), but about bouncing: did you see my video? If you do the landing procedure correctly, the plane would not bounce.

@Asiana312: Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely right, the Pitts is very hard to land on mobile devices. As other users mentioned, the real Pitts is indeed very difficult to lahnd and we tried to set it up just like in reality, to give the user a feeling on how difficult they are to fly.

So we always have to decide: Do we make all aircraft easy to fly so users don't get frustrated or do we set them up as they would fly in reality. It's always a difficult choice for us.

Thank you for your wonderful work on realism. Please remain on the realistic side for our beloved simulator. The Pitts flies and land wonderfully realistic. It’s perfect.

Another useful source is the Pitts manual. If you read carefully you will find the correct technique to land this marvellous airplane.

Landing the Pitts

youtu.be

Remember to gently use the brakes in the final phase of the landing run.

I forgot to say that when on the ground you have to mantain the stick at the climbing position (all the way toward you), this to increase load and give authority to the tail wheel.

Well, I’m a fan of the Pitts, as you can see from my profile pic, and I have to say that’s not correct what you have written. On landing you have to flare at three/six feet’s from the ground until the plane stalls, so you can lose a lot of speed. Then, when on the ground the plane goes straight for a few seconds then tend to turn on one side, now you have to use a lot of rudder to get it straight and then, when you feel that rudder movements are too wide you have to gently act on breaks, only 20/25% could be ok, at the same time use rudder and in few seconds the plane would be stopped. As of taxing you have to move really slowly spooling up the engine a little (15/20%) to start moving and then back to idle while you move. As soon as I can I will add a video for you.

FINALLY!!! Thank you admin !!!

Landing the Camel has now been fixed!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

This would be awesome!

No A350 teasers today but we've got a new trailer for Aerofly FS Global with a lot of the new content that we added this year.

Thank you guys for your support and feedback!

admin Ok I checked Aerofly FS 2022 and there the Sopwith Camel has no bugs. Please use that flight model in Global.

I will download them one by one and tell you. admin

See post #8, FS 2023 was bad too.

Ok, but I remember one of the previous versions in which the Camel was ok. May be 2022…

Truncana : What version are you refering to here?

admin I was talking about Aerofly FS 2023 and previous

Edit: I correct myself: last correct version il FS 2022. I’ve just checked.

We are fully aware of this issue, but it is not as easy to fix as it may seem. We can either modify the physics itself making it more unrealistic or add some kind of assistance during ground handling. Again, we are aware of this issue but have no solution for it yet.

Finally! After ten months we have an answer. Thank you. We all hope you will get it fixed as soon as possible. Thank you!

PS: in previous versions of Aerofly its behaviour was normal, without any bug. Maybe you could take that flight model and put it in Global…

admin please read this thread!

May be you devs have just to change the impact threshold of the left wheel, the impact is detected when this wheel touches the ground even at small vertical speeds. Please, I’m sure it’s a question of a single or few values to change. A work of five minutes or less. Please! Jet-Pack (IPACS)

And I wonder: why it seems that nobody cares about this beautiful biplane???

Just updated on iOS (1.4.12), but the Sopwith Camel bug still remains.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) please! I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to fix this bug! Please, it has been a year since we discovered it. It’s time to solve the problem!!!

Just updated on iOS (1.4.10), but the Sopwith Camel bug still remains.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) please!
