• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Fishtailing, oscillation at speed

Hi All, I am building a moderately fast warbird. The problem I have is that when aloft and sorted, any speed above 150 kts results in a lot of bobbing and weaving which increases in intensity as speed increases. I need to get up to at least 240 knots and remain stable- it's a front-line fighter of the period for heaven's sake. I have tried adjusting all the usual suspects and with no luck. I understand that propwash could be a culprit but any ideas would be welcomed.
 
Maybe try reducing Elevator Effectiveness? The current Flight Model in 2020 leads to extremely twitchy and sensitive Controls. Maybe this attribute could help?
 
This is probably due to the new "Realistic flight dynamics" which assumes that all aircraft bounce around when flying.
And yes the controls are too sensitive but that can be adjusted.

Thanks both, I'll keep trying. Given the actual dynamics of the sim, I find the pages included in the SDK somewhat amusing. All that "blind'em with science" stuff is just ridiculous. Somebody's trying to show off.
