I've searched the forum and didn't find a definitive answer, nor do I expect one with the current phase of the product. I'll ask anyway:I'm curious how trim will be implemented in the NGX. As the developers are aware, in the real aircraft a short press of the trim button/paddle on the yoke will give you a burst of trim wheel movement. The trim wheel moves with a weight or momentum and makes a delightful sound. I'm also pretty sure trim behavior changes with a few other factors. How realistic will the sound/visual/etc. be?

Trim sounds are still being worked on - we're trying to make the most realistic implementation of trim sound that's been done. Different sounds depending on the speed/length of the trim motions... more complicated than you'd think to get it to work right. The NG actually has multiple trim rates depending on airspeed, flaps up/down etc as well as how long you hold the paddle switch on the yoke down - trying to get that all in there.

Fully modelled including the exact rates of trim motion per-second which varies based on the phase of flight. People are going to report the trim as a "bug" for sure because virtually every other FS airliner in existence trims waaaaay too fast. (this includes our own previous ones)

If you get the trim working right on an FS airliner, that'd would be a godsend for simmers, since it would set the bar for every other developer that hasn't! Dodgy trim in FS aeroplanes is one of my personal pet annoyances.That bit about people reporting it as a bug or complaining about it made me laugh Ryan, I'm sure you PMDG guys will remember better than anyone else the number of complaints there were from owners of the first PMDG 737 when people couldn't get one of the engines going because of not knowing how the bleed air worked, so I hope you are ready for a raft of complaints based on similar misconceptions. :( Al

So much so that there's going to be a "These are not bugs!" section of the manual lol...

So Ryan, when they report it as a 'bug', it actually technically isn't a bug and you will tell them that is what happens on the real aircraft right?Awesome!! :( :)

Of course there's a fatal flaw in that plan; you'd have to convince people to actually RTFM, and I'm not sure even PMDG can pull that one off, in spite of what PMDG actually is an abbreviation of :( Al

Al-One advantage we will have on the NGX is that simmers have become quite a bit more savvy on large aircraft systems and operation- and as such there is a greater pool of expertise from which new simmers can obtain help. The NGX is inherently an easy airplane to operate, and we have a rather significant list of "cool mini features" in the NGX that I think you guys will enjoy reading and then recognizing the behaviors in the simulator...If it matters, some of these behaviors have even caught a few of our highly NG experienced pilots by surprise.We'll help you guys identify true behaviors from logical problems/bugs, and then you guys will help us help others simply by chiming in and repeating knowledge.Example: When you shut down an engine during taxi in, most users will expect to see the hydraulic low pressure light illuminate for the engine driven pump... But sometimes this light won't come until a period of time after the engine shuts down. Our introduction document will explain WHY this is- and when someone new comes to the forum and asks about it- someone here (one of us, or one of you guys) will be able to help him out.That is how this community came to be so savvy in the first place!

Thank you thank youToday i always have problem with trim in fsx because i over trim very often so this might solve the problem for me.Jiri Sekerka

just to make sure RTFM stands for: Read The Fu...g Manual? Jiri Sekerka

Yes, unfortunately that is what it means.

Maybe reading too much into his words, but i think i just saw something that i've been wanted to hear for a LONG LONG time

WHAT? It shouldn't do that! Change that back Robert! (just kidding)JackColwill

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I've hoped for a developer to model trim behavior more realistically.
