Majestic1 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have a custom built simulator with glass cockpit built by (TRC Netherlands) which has a student station where I select an airport which then loads onto the projector screen, The problem is that whn I load these airports the don't load correctly and starts to spin including the compass on the G1000 MFD I have attached a very short video clip, IMG_4672.MOV IMG_4640.MOV IMG_4672.MOV IMG_4673.MOV please can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Nick Cooper Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello, the only time I have seen anything like this is if the simulator is in SLEW mode and the SLEW (Rotate axis) control is out of calibration. Could it be that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi Smudger, Thank you it worked. Can you tell me what causes this to happen, is it something you can stop happening without the need to push the Y key? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that? Hello, apparently my answer went unnoticed. If you calibrate whatever device you have set to use for your SLEW mode, you should solve the problem of the view spinning when the SLEW mode is selected. It has happened to me before but the reason for me was that the control hardware would not return to its central position. In the end, I reassigned the SLEW actions to another device.

Aussie123 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Two things Alan: One: You need to re-save your start up Scenario quickly, after you have turned off the SLEW mode ('Y') . That will stop it starting in that mode. Secondly: As Nick says; one of the axis in your devices may not be centred, or is assigned to a slew command. (eg. you may have your throttle axis assigned to Rotate and it will never be centred.) The best solution is to: In the P3D Menu, go into Controls; then select each of the devices you have, one by one, Select the 'Slew' drop down and then delete each of the many default slew Axis controls. Go onto the next device and do the same. It will not affect the axis assignments in normal flying operation. All you need to do in the future is if you are using Slew at any stage (eg to modify parking positions in GSX2), to use the nine numeric keyboard controls.

Majestic1 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi Gentlemen, Thank you all for your valuable help, I tried entering the Y key which stopped the spinning and now I will attempt to try the other suggestions to prevent it happening in future. Once again Thank you all!! Alan (Majestic 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
