High Speed Shaking

[Viper2000]

I did some more testing.

It certainly has the symptoms of snaking; you can see that the problem starts with un-commanded rudder movements.

In fact, I sometimes come out of the "manoeuvre" with the rudder jammed hard over to one side; so we've got over-balance as well.

Looking in the cockpit, there is also aileron buzz - the stick is vibrating from left to right pretty fast.

This might be caused by the snaking, or it might be a separate event.

It's probably covered by the "flutter" tickbox in the realism settings, but it's not exactly what I'd call classical flutter. It's a control system problem.

I suppose I should investigate what other aeroplanes do in high speed dives too...
