Elevator trim nose down not working

[Keegstra 1]

In the 777 is it not possible to set the trim nose down for take off.

For instance from 4.0 to 2.75.

Any ideas why?

Have you turned on the Hydraulic Pumps?

[Keegstra 1]

The trim does work with the buttons on the pedastal. Left and right mouse click.

So hydraulics are fine.

 

On the yoke the nose down button doesn't work 

The nose up button has no problems.

In other aircraft f.i. the 737NGX has no problems.

So it's not an assignment problem with the yoke.

 

Any ideas?

Are you "manually" trying to trim nose down on the yoke? By manually I mean, directly clicking with your mouse on the yoke trim and it's still not working?

 

If you're trimming with your joystick, are you using FSUIPC? If so, verify that you've set a unique profile for the PMDG 777. On the Buttons and Keys page check that your joystick "trim up" and "trim down" are properly set. You wanna make sure that the "Key to be repeated while pressed" or similar is checked. (or unchecked if the option is called "key not to be pressed while held, can't remember exactly which one it was).

 

Also, make sure there are no incompatible control assignments between FSUIPC and the FS controls page. My advice is that, if you're using FSUIPC, you should delete every key assignment from the FS controls page and assign them all via FSUIPC to have it all centralized.

Try pushing on the yoke WHILE trimming nose down.

If that helps, then you need a larger eeeh what is it called....dead zone, dead area...

Where the stick is should not affect the trimmer when on the ground. The FBW is bugged so it may not be behaving correctly. I'm not at my simming PC so can't check the manuals for what it should be doing, but I've never had a problem setting trim for takeoff.

 

Best regards,

Hi, I have the same problem sometimes, don't know why. I set two switches of my ch yoke to elev trim up and down in fsuipc. Maybe another minor bug to be corrected in the coming patch ?

Gents-

 

I believe this was already addressed.  In the NG there are some hard-down limits that were accidentally carried into the 777.  Update will fix that.

Ah, ok, great.

 

I missed that one then.

 

thx.

All thanks for reactions. wasn't able to react due to busy work and priority's.

As I understand it will be patched with the service pack.

I am using P3D 3.4 and PMDG 777 and sometimes my elevator trim goes back to 0 (zero) when I am configuring before take off ? Only in 777.

Can anybody assist ?

Reactivating a vaguely related four year old thread for a new problem is pointless and only confuses things. If you can’t find the answer by searching the forum start a new thread.
