Elevator Trim (RealTrim)

Featured Replies

Has anyone tried RealTrim with the NGX? I'm going to try it when I get home but I don't want to waste my time if it won't work. http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/RealTrim I'm not sure if I'm the only one that oscillates through the sky, baffling the A/T with pitch changes whilst trying to set the elevator trim with a CH Yoke? The justifiable ranting of the RC controller doesn't improve my mood. Any tips?

Practice! Keep trying approaches in IMC to minimums, you'll improve. Smooth imputs, no more than 20 degrees bank etc.

The most realistic TRIM simulator is obtained with a Force Feedback Joystick / Yoke, and some suitable software, like FsForce. This will allow you to apply force to the Controls, moving it to a poistion to get the plane at the require attitude, and then use the Trim, to reduce that required force to zero. When you then release the control, it stays where it is -- just as it should. Without the above, you are always trimming the plane with the Control at it's spring loaded "center". In effect, FSX trims the plane by altering the "LENGTH" of the conbection between the Control and the Elevator, so that the plane is in Trim, with the Joystick at it's spring loaded center... UGH !!! Totally unrealistic, but unavoidable if you do not have a Force Feedback Control, where the CENTER/NO FORCE position, can be moved electronically.

Yes, all ways make small inputs. Don't rush to correct deviations, just start a steady correction back to course and glide slope. Over corrections are the number one cause of pilot induced oscillations in real aircraft. Practice finger tip flying.
