Ok, first off, I must admit that my issue may seem unwarranted and in no way am I criticizing the realism of your product. But is there a way to lower the effects of cockpit vibrations? I just tend to feel a little uncomfortable with the constant studders...
Kind regards,
Shelman

Re: Cockpit Vibrations
Hi Shelman,
I don't think there's a way to reduce the vibration at a settings level as such.
However, careful adjustment of prop RPM should reduce airframe vibration to the level that it's barely noticeable. Also, selecting the wood/composite MT propeller from the maintenance hangar should make the cockpit notably less prone to vibration. This is a benefit of the real MT prop I believe.
Thanks,
Nick
P.S. If it's shuddering really badly, check the prop for damage!

Re: Cockpit Vibrations
Thank you, Nick; your suggestions alleviated my “issue†I guess the reason why I’ve been over-sensitive to the vibrations is that I’ve spent the last few days attempting to configure Prepar3dv4 for overall smoothness; been staring at pixels too much!
Kind regards,
Shelman

Re: Cockpit Vibrations
That's good to hear Shelman - you're welcome. Yeah, it seems smoothness in P3D can be a bit elusive unless one is able to run the sim at a frame rate which exactly matches the refresh rate of the monitor.

Re: Cockpit Vibrations
Welcome to my first few years flying my Comanche with the McCaulley prop, and so many other airplanes. So many vibrate and much worse than the Comanche with the McCaulley, but what you are experiencing is the same uncomfortable feeling I and other pilots feel. So your post here makes me feel good that we've accomplished that realism and feeling to you, in the sim.ssair1 wrote:But is there a way to lower the effects of cockpit vibrations?

For the Comanche, the best thing you can do is use the MT prop. This is pretty smooth, but still like any combustion engine with a big prop on the end, it still vibrates to an extent.
