Arggghhhhh, I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I'm an idiot and schould read more documentation :oops:
In a recent post I've read about the (experimental) feedback control facility and the feature to control KIAS with throttle via FSUIPC. Well, that is a similar thing I'm trying to do myself - some kind of ground speed control, a bit more 'intelligent' than the stuff currently out there.
I've tried some classic feedback control algorithms (P,I,PI,PID), but only with limited success. Fiddling around with the factors of these algorithms is a very hard and time consuming task. Results are: aicraft never reaches target speed, overshoot target speed, oscillates around target speed (etc). And that different for every type of aircraft, weight, ...
If the FSUIPC (speed) control facility works if the aircarft is on the ground (?), that means ...
1) You have already done the work for me
2) Every FSUIPC user has a "ground speed control" for free via the hotkey settings
I'm currently at my work location, but be sure that I will test these new controls when I'm at home ...
Bye,
