Splash Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 I have discovered perhaps something obvious: on the PFD, the artificial horizon works fine until you do cray banks over 45 degrees. What happens the artificial horizon is stuck at 45 deg., ie. does not correctly indicate the roll of the aircraft correctly. Best to reproduce is to take off and then start doing rolls, 360 deg and observe the artificial horizon in PFD, you will note this effect. This is huge problem when flying in clouds and you rely on artificial horizon.System:Win 7 64 bitATI 5870 1GB i7 920 ~ 3.9 GHZ6GB RAM

Japo32 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 45° is good enough for this plane. Don't bank anymore for your passengers security specially when they don't have seatbelts!But still you have a full operating artificial horizon full movement. The ball on the middle.

Splash Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Hehe, it is a fast jet why not? j/kNah, was more stress testing the aircraft making sure instruments respond correctly but in a real situation for example if have damage to the aircraft and the aircraft plumets it may do out-of-control rolls. You still want to retain orientation if you are in the clouds or is dark outside (night) so you can try to recover aircraft.
