Plane Suddenly Drops out of Sky (G-Force?)

(1/4) > >>

EHM-1730 Geoffrey:
I tried flying both a320 and b737 just now.

When I was climbing to FL220 (cruise height) at above 10,000feet suddenly a message from the flight logger appears. I can't remember the exact words but it's something like this: "Maximum G-force (weight load) exceeded, aircraft damaged." and the plane falls out of the sky. Has this got to do with the vertical speed? It was set at 1800fpm. If not what could have caused this to happen? :o Can someone please enlighten me on this thanks!

Probably an sudden change in FS weather, turbulense or change of wind direction or speed. THis happen when you cross different flightlevels because the weather in FS sets the wind in separete altitudes.
at FL120-FL160 zero wind but at FL170 wind 245/34, then you get an sudden change in airspeed. The same goes with turbulens.


You can use the FSUIPC registered versio to smooth these effects or you can also turn of the turbulence effect in FS.

I'v stalled the B763ER when trying to climb Crz levels because of this to,
you get an sudden tailvind of to many knots and the plane losses to much airspeed and you go into a sudden stall, or the aircraft can get an headwind and you bleed of the airspeed more slowly.. The stall will lead to  a sudden drop of altitude, at en excessive rate witch add's a lot of G-fore almost like an rollercoaster droppen staraight down.

I hope all I said is correct otherwise please correckt me:8

EHM-1554 Chris:
Yes this has happedn to me before in Sweeden climbing in a 763ER it basically fel out of the sky, although im suspicous of a little bit of ice ;)

Christian is correct FS does have strange wx changes and can be annoying, you know when your flying straight and level at 340 then u suddenly overspped, yep its the sudden change of winds,

also the airspeed peels of in the climb due to presure change nt headwind, headwind will kill ur ground speed :P

EHM-1150 Armando:
In FlightLogger ProPilot, realism is set to max and crash detection is activated (only in PP flights)

If that strange behaviour has to do with sudden change in FS weather, then I'll investigate and try to add an option to 'smoth weather changes' from FlightLogger configuration. This is not a promise that it will be done, just that I'll investigate, ok?

EHM-1703 Philip:
Iain Butler (1617) gave me a good tip tonight, you can smooth the weather in the IVaP control panel, of course, only works when flying online but at least it's an incentive to fly on IAVO. Hope to see you online soon!
