Andy Martin 0 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 When in slew mode on the ground i can move my aircraft with my saitek joystick rapidly but if im at altitude the slew movement is incredibly slow. Does anyone know why this is? Regards Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think Einstein's theory of relativity comes into play at high altitudes? That, and the fact that the ground is so far away, it doesn't look like you're moving. Try the Top Down View (F12) for rapid Slewing, maybe that'll do the trick? Cheers - Dai.

mutley 4,426 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi Andy, Altitude shouldn't make any difference to the actual speed, it's probably because the relative velocity appears slower the higher you get. I think it's called kinematics? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ah, but you didn't mention Einstein, did you?!? Ciao - Dai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Joe's right - top down view should give you a good indication of how fast you are actually moving. Also, turn on the Shft-Z information on the top-left of the screen and the IAS will show the rate of slew movement. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
