C172 very bouncy during taxi

[fencelake]

I love the A2A 172 and 182 that I have. I don't fly the 172 very much because when I'm taxiing the plane is very unstable, rocking and bouncing. Granted when a plane taxi's over bumps they move a little bit, but I'm wondering if there's somewhere in the Aircraft Config that I can tone it down a little. The 182 taxi's perfectly like it should... I want the 172 to do the same. Any help would be great!

thanks!

I fly the 172 in RL very regularly and the A2A sim dynamics are very realistic. I am just in the final stages of uploading a video I shot on Friday from a flight I took from CDW to RDG to visit the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. It shows how much the planes rocks and bounces around and I find that the motion is less pronounced on the wide angle view. I'll post the link soon so you can compare.

BTW, the MAAM is a great museum to visit! I discovered the Custer Channel Wing while I was there. It is a very interesting aircraft design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer_Channel_Wing

Hi, thanks for the reply! I should have mentioned it in my original post but I fly an L model and an S model currently and was flying an R from the same airport in the past. I haven't experienced this extreme instability as in the simulation. I have some video too and I guess I could put that video against a sim video from the same taxi sequence and compare but what I would like to do is set my sim up to act they way I perceive my real life flights. When I'm taxiing down a long, straight, brand new concrete taxiway the plane shouldn't bounce and rock like a canoe about to tump over. Maybe it's something in my sim or with my airport in the sim but never the less I'd like to figure out a way to customize it so I will continue to use the plane. Hopefully there's something in the config that will allow this.

Have you run the latest update? There were several tweaks to ground handling.

The taxi footage begins at 1:57 and it rocks and rolls when turning a lot like the sim (I think).

I've run the update application a few weeks ago.

Well, problem solved... I just ran the latest update from 1/17... and thought that I had the last update as well... but it's WAY better now. It still moves a little more like the real thing but it's not hopping from side to side anymore... and it doesn't "get stuck in the mud". Haha... I don't have to rev the engine to like 1700 rpm to get it moving. GREAT!!! I'm excited. Thanks for the posts on here.

Great to hear! I recall that it was excessively bouncy at one point and then it was quickly fixed in a patch.

Also just check if your using Accu-feel that your settings in Accu-feel are not the cause.

thanks,

I didn't know about Accu-feel. Where do you adjust that setting? Thanks for the reply.

[Oracle427]

Accufeel is a separate add-on from A2A that enhances the visuals and sounds in response to sim events for non Accusim aircraft. If you own Accufeel it will show up under an Accu-Feel menu on the menu bar. Normally it turns itself off for Accusim aircraft but it is possible to turn it back on to customize the experience. It adds wind sounds, stall buffets, turbulence and creaks among other effects.

oh cool! I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
