Title: Re: Pitch control

Hello L1011 captain's!

First of all apologies for my english.

I have used L1011 in FSX and in P3Dv45.
In FSX it was very difficult for me to fly in manual since no matter how much I configured the pitch control I could not get a good result.

In P3D something similar happens to me but the other way around , the trim behaves somewhat better, I still have to adjust the sensitivity.

I suggest you do a semi-automatic flight.

The AFCS Autoflight System of the L1011 has a mode called CWS (Control Wheel Steering) which is very practical when flying the plane manually.
Unlike the Autopilot mode, the CWS mode maintains the attitude of the aircraft based on the inputs it receives from the flight control, so that if you want to pitch, you just have to pull the control column and release it, the CWS will maintain the pitch you have set. With the control, the same with the roll, you add turn with the flight control and release it at the moment that interests you (roll angle) and the control will maintain that position until it receives a new input from your flight control.

It is a good system to fly in manual with the help of the autopilot, or better said manual flight control assisted by the AP. I use it for the approach phase, for example, or when I want to increase the roll more than normal or what the autopilot would do, on holding patterns, and vectors, and final segmen inclusive.

I hope it helps you  :)
