B747 rolling left on final

I don’t know if I’m the only user who experiences this frequently or not, but whenever I do a long-haul flight on the B748 when I’m on final approach and I turn off A/P the aircraft starts to bank left, leading to me crashing.
Typical example:
I did a flight from SCL to MIA and when I was on final the same thing happened, I used to think maybe the aircraft was too heavy, but my load was at 40% going at around 170kts and still crashed

Is this a fault with the aircraft or there’s something that I’m doing wrong?

Could you confirm if you have calibrated your device before disconnecting autopilot?

Yes I did, I always calibrate my device before disengaging autopilot

I have never experienced this before, but I thought of some reasons to cause the crash
Try check these:

  • check your wind settings (if you are in solo)
  • check your weight settings e.g the fuel in left wing is heavier than right wing

I had the same issue. I could solve the issue: Try to go “Settings” 》“Controls” 》“Roll” try to turn left and right with your device. If you turn the device to the right the orange line should go to the right also. If it turn to the wrong direction press “Invert”.

When you turn your device upside down the screen turns also - the controls in IF doesnt change. You have to calibrate it manually in the settings

There’s a bug with this, if you make one side of the aircraft heavier it’ll only apply in the next session.

I was on expert server, and you can’t check your fuel levels on your tanks mid flight and the lack of an animated cockpit doesn’t make things easier either.

@McKing do you have the same issue on other planes?

No, it’s only on the 747

Same I also have it

Hi, it would seem unlikely your abrupt uncontrollable bank experience would be tied to a specific aircraft’s modelling anomoly.

I would try re-testing the B748, to see if you can reliably repeat that issue. Perhaps pay special attention to your airspeed being sufficient in relation to your flap settings and weight.

If you can repeat this uncontrollable bank problem and are still puzzled by its occurrence, it would be most helpful to upload a video replay of the event.
