My avionics are failing to work each time I’m about to take off or land. It’s either the commands register late or too much. I have updated my phone and the app but still doesn’t change. Please help and I love to fly a lot but this is becoming a pain.
Probably a stupid question - but have you tried restarting your device?
Please include information about your device, Operating System and IF Version :)
Yes I’ve tried to restart. I’m on IOS 18 - iPhone 12 Pro Max and the latest version of IF
Thanks! Has this only happened after updating to iOS18?
Just wanna ask, have you calibrated your device before departure or arrival?
Yes I have done that, I think I have a controller issue. Have tried to reboot, reinstall and tweak settings but all the time seconds before landing when I turn off the AP I crash. No input I make is adhered to by the plane. How can I fix this? I’m in IOS 18, iPhone 12 Pro Max and the latest hot fix IF
Yes I started experiencing this after iOS 18 and the latest IF update. It’s a controller issue. Tried rebooting and reinstalling and recalibrating but I crash all the time I turn off AP
Hi, when you say:
Do your controller inputs work ok apart from the instant you turn AP off? And do you have any controller response at all as you turn off AP, or no controller response at that time?
Do your AP settings and controller inputs, each considered separately, work ok such that it is, again, only at the transition from turning your AP off that you have the issue?
My AP works just fine. It is the controller issue that just doesn’t respond or over responds. It can be at taking off, it even refuses to lift off as I tilt backwards to get the plane off the ground, no response at all or it pitches up drastically etc. It’s a pain, please assist I have done all to try and resolve but I’m at my wits end.
When you go to controller settings, do you see a smooth response indicated to your control inputs?
I’ve just gone, it’s not smooth at all. It’s responding late or not responding at all. But I’ll admit I have no clue how to reset this. It says Axis, button etc. How do I do it?
Thank you for your extra details. Sorry about the trouble you’re going through. I’m going to leave this for the moment to see what the support team might suggest (unless some helpful additional idea comes to me in the meantime).
If you go to:
settings–>controls–>defaults (to the right of that screen),
it will prompt you for permission to reset the control defaults. I assume that’s what you meant?
Also, to the left of that button for defaults reset, is the configuration button which allows you to check your control response and make adjustments. Perhaps you were already there? (But I mention just in case.).
Control movements shown on the config page appear normal or not?
My controls, mainly the Pitch and Roll are not responsive to commands at all. I have tried to recalibrate under controls in settings but it only works when the engines are off, the moment I start the engines nothing works or they do their own thing which can cause a very violent take off or landing/crash. Please assist, maybe I’m getting something wrong but I’ve been using IF since 2019 and this is the first time I’m experiencing this. I’m on the latest hot fix and IOS18 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Only the AP works and I’ve resorted to use it on take offs and landings but it’s so frustrating. Please assist.
Reinstall the app
Yes I can confirm, they are not responding at all. They only respond when I start the app but after a few minutes nothing works. I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled the app but still having problems.
Maybe I’m missing something I don’t know. Anyone willing to help me even via video call on whatsapp or FaceTime I’d be so grateful. My whatsapp number or FaceTime is +263774319413
Ok, thank you for confirming:
I’m out of ideas, but I can report that, by coincidence, yesterday I had been flying in and out of solo mode. And when I went back into solo mode at one point, I also had no pitch or roll response.
Nothing I could do within the session allowed me to regain control. AP was verified to be off.
Control returned when I exited the session and returned, eventually. I have not been able to reproduce the issue.
Unfortunately, as I was focusing on another issue, I can’t remember every action preceding the problem and then leading up to the resolution (including how many times I returned to the session where I still had no control: my vague recollection was two consecutive sessions). I don’t remember if I restarted IF just before resolution.
But I definitely had no control input response, and I verified AP was off.
I have reinstalled 3 times now, nothing works.
Have you updated your phone system?
