pbeau70 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Posted August 13, 2019 Whenever I hand fly the TBM, it rolls dramatically to the left. I constantly have to correct to the right just to not go in a full barrel roll. I even try roll trimming to the right all the way but no success. It is incontrolable. If it is on autopilot, it will do good but once I disconnect the AP, it goes back to a forced left roll. Quote
RobW05 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) That's the torque effect. You will notice the roll tendency to get stronger the more power you set. It requires just a bit of aileron trim to the right to get rid of the roll tendency when handflying. Edited August 13, 2019 by RobW05 Quote

Thanks for your answer but that's not it. Even at Idle on approach, it rolls to the left like crazy... Seems to be new for me since X-Plane 11.35. Quote

I even tried trim roll to the right to compensate but not much help. Uninstalled and reinstalled the TBM but still the same effect. It’s only recently that it started acting weird, pretty much after x-plane 11.35. I might try a fresh x-plane install. Quote
mcritzman Posted August 17, 2019 Report Posted August 17, 2019 I had the same problem with rolling left after 11.35. It went back to normal when I re-calibrated my yoke within x-plane. 1 Quote

Funny because this issue was not happening with any other planes, hence why I never thought of doing that. Thank you so very much! 1 Quote
