Hello everybody,

 

I've got a issue while using the stabalizer trim. I don't now if anyone else has already reported this. 

While setting the take off trim I can only use the switch on my yoke to move the trim down, but not to move it up. I had to use the ALT PITCH TRIM to do that. 

Strange thing is that the trim switch on the VC yoke is moving while I try to trim up, it's just the number on the display that stays the same. 

 

I tried to record it in a video, but I'm not sure that it is really clear enough. 

 

 

Does anybody maybe have a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

Bastiaan,

 

I don't recall encountering this. Are you able to replicate the issue or was it a one-off?

I'm able to replicate it. Just tried it again, and the trim was nog working, while the switch on the yoke in the VC was moving.

 

I don't use FSUIPC for controls, but I don't think my yoke is the problem. Otherwise the VC switch would not be moving either.

 

EDIT:

While I wrote elevator trim, the problem concerns the Stabalizer Trim.

I am having the same issue. First "test" flight the aircraft wouldn't trim. Pressing the trim buttons on my joy stick (logitech Extreme 3D Pro) didn't trim the aircraft but did move the trim buttons on the control column, also the trim indicator didn't change at all.

 

After a reset it appeared I could trim but still the indicator doesn't move; unless I use the ALT trim.

I think I have the solution to this problem. It seems that while my yoke is centered, the FLT CTR page shows that my elevators are not completely centered. 

You can only trim in the direction the elevator is pointing, so if you are not able to trim, you have to push/pull on your yoke, to center the elevators. When you do that, you can trim in both directions.

This is called control column cut off.

Dr Vaos strikes again! 

 

Cheers,

If you increase the dead zone of that axis, that should solve the problem for good then.

I will do that, thank you.
