  6. 4.217 and wind smoothing

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Well if you have gust and turbulence, you have gust and turbulence allowed I think. Did you really go to the Cloud options and ask for them to be suppressed???

    Ah you a star Pete, how stupid of me.....I overlooked the option to disable cloud turbulance.

    Was under the impression the suppress turb/gust on the wind smoothing tab does it all.

    How silly of me :shock: :D

    Thanks Pete

    Just completed a 700nm flight online IVAO with IVAO weahter, FACT-FAJS.

    Wilco Feelthere 737-400.

    Flight went very well, nothing unusual to report.

    Noted some turb and a odd wind gust enroute, but nothing to violent that the plane could not handle

    Noted no abrupted wind direction or speed changes.

    Overall the turbulance and gust that was present was well dampened and the plane was not thrown of directions as before.

    Default BE58

    Ok did a VFR flight now, dep and arr airports had strong wind with gust.

    Nothing unusual, no sudden wind changes, turbulance and gust seemed to be similar to 4.219 did not notice much difference, not sure if I should have?

    Overall good flight, wind was smooth and good turb gust effect, all in good balnace moderation.

    The airspeed indicator would jump around when there was turbulance/gust also in 4.219, is this normal how it should be, did not bother me nor had a effect on the plane, kinda looked like a kewl "effect" not sure if this behaviour also happens in real life with the speed indicator when flying in turbulance and gusty weather?

    I think, perhaps, I will change my code to suppress MY simulation of the effects when MY options are set so, no matter what FSX decides to do. ;-)

    Pete sounds good.

    I made 2 observations.

    1. When I disable the option to smooth wind only when airborn, when I restart FSX then it is enabled again, the option is not memorised.

    2.When you set wind smoothing "allow changes to fs own weather" and after that you press on the miscellanous tab and then back on the wind tab, the option "allow changes to fs own weather" is disabled greyed out again.

    There is some "funny" interaction with wind and miscellanous tab going on.

    Also if you open fsuipc and first press on miscellanous tab then on wind tab the option "allow changes to fs own weather" is greyed out/disabled.

    Thanks Pete will test 4.219

    Hi Pete

    Just did a test flight from EHAM to EDDF with FSX real weather and nothing unusual to report.

    The wind was smoothed, I set it to 1degree/knot every 2 seconds and it seems to work very well.

    Used the Default B738

    Turbulance was also noticeable at times but was nicely dampned, felt balanced, not to little and also not to over aggressive.

    Surpress turb and gust was not enable during this test run.

    Over all a very nice flight and a 100% improvents over 4.217 for me. :D

    Regards

    Hi Pete

    Testing 4.218

    It seems that the pulsating speed and tat has been reduced to nearly null and mostly completely.

    There was the odd occasion where I notice it but not significantly enough to interfere with the planes performance.

    Observation, I am not sure if the surpress turb and gust is working, with them enabled I was still experiencing turbulance with the plane and there as a odd time the plane moved left/right on the horisontal axis during the climb about 30'

    Another observation, I left the wind smoothing on default 2degree or knots per second, but it does not seem to have a effect, the wind is changeing more at the rate of default fs something like 1degree or knot every 3-4seconds

    I will test some more, let me know if you need more test files.

    Regards

  18. 4.217 AFCS problems

    So far as I can tell, all three aircraft have this 1 second fluctuations. A better word might be pulsating.

    Pete this is exactly the same I am trying to convey to you in my thread.

    And as mentioned I saw with weatherset2 that when Cloud Layer info was diplayed the pulsating stopped.

    Weahterset2 Cloud info= no pulsating

    Weatherset2 NO Cloud info = pulsating

    scratching :roll: scratching

    mmmm this is strange, i am cruising at FL330 now, I suppressed turb and gust, and first it had no effect, until there was a weather change.

    the weather change injected 2 cloud layers, there was none before and I had the speed jumping irratic and also noticed the TAT jumping a degree or 2 Centigrate.

    The moment the cloud layers was injected everything went smooth and the speed and TAT stopped jumping then there was another weather update and the cloud layers was removed, clear skies and "bham" the speed and tat starts jumping.

    A while later again weather update with some clouds and the jumping stops, also noted that there was turb figures in the cloud info.

    Hope you can make sense of this :shock:

    edit: there are clouds outside the plane but no info about them in weatherset2 and the speed and tat jumping.

    I am trying a flight now with that weather which is btw fsx real weather FACT Tetan UZ2 Ested FAJS

    I am no weather expert so not sure how all this weather numbers intigrate but,

    From what I am seeing, the plane is struggeling in the climb out, plane will swing on it horisontal axis +- 30' either way, and or the wind would suddenly overspeed, the 2000ft/min climb would jerk the nose down to a -300ft/min , speed stabilizes and climb is resumed.

    Again i am no expert, but maybe these forces are just to violent/strong in FS or the plane is to over sensitive to the forces.

    Next i will try to disable the options you mentioned

    I dont know what else to give you.

    Hi Pete

    As requested.....

    One important thing to note: you do need FSX SP2 or Acceleration installed for good results. If you don't have this installed the smoothing still works, in a way, but you will get the airspeed jumping up and down very annoyingly during wind changes

    Pete I was at a friend today and he has the paid version of fsuipc4 and we took a look at the above mentioned.

    I am replying on his behalf as he is on a business trip.

    He has SP2 installed and we saw the airspeed jumping all the time when there was wind changes.

    He was using your latest beta build 4.217 and I observerd while he was flying with IVAO online with the Wilco 737-400 and there A320 all Feelthere products that the speedtape was jumping, and made all the relevant stuff like engines trying to compensate.

    Also the red overspeed warning bottum right of the screen was flashing when the speed tape jumped and 1 could hear the overspeed clacker doing a clicking noise everytime.

    This happend I could gather when there was a change in wind or when new weather was fed to the simulator.

    But the smoothing did seem to work and when there was no wind changes for a while the jumping speedtape would stop.

    Don't know if anybody else has observed this.

    Regards

    Jannie
