Heres another video -- what I've learned -- trim can't be held down! I've got it all setup wrong on FSUIPC...

The Electric Stabilizer Trim Motor has a pressure sensitive button and can be hold until reaching the desired trim configuration. You have to press both buttons to actuate the Stabilizer trim motor and it can be override with the electric Stabilizer Trim Motor override switch on the center pedestal and trim the Stabilizer by the trim wheel. The Stabilizer trim wheel trim the stabilizer by a metal cable. Off course this is for the 737.

Whats with the multiple trim button presses on the 747 video then? Is it for fine control? Thanks.

Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering

yes, to maintain the airplane at a selected altitude when you are flying manually you have to press the trim button mutiple times so it moves just a bit and keep the aircraft steady on that altitude. Just watch a 737 cockpit video and you will see how fast the trim wheel move when the pilot actuate the Stabilizer trim motor. If you doubt it, just go to www.pprune.org, there are Airlines Pilots and they will take you out of the doubt.

Am I the only one who really likes how the cockpit of a real NG seems alot smaller than NGX ?

 

Thanks for sharing! :smile:

Maybe you're zoomed in too much :)

 

Or you have wideaspect = true in your fsx.cfg

Never heard about "Wideaspect" before. I'll go check it out. Thanks!

 

By the way, do they align the IRS or turn it off?

Thanks,

This reminds me of last time I went on an NG. I was shocked by how similar that Boeing had modeled the real NG on the NGX. :LMAO:

Quite much any cockpit seems smaller than FS. Have you been in an ATR lately? Those cockpits are TINY :)

If you have at least 10 or so minutes, it is better to turn it off completely and realign from scratch.

Two PMDG's in one clip. Right at the beginning ( 0:02 ) and at 0:40 taking off behind, isn't that a J4100.
