Stab trim set problem

[J. Eberhardt 3]

Hi, i use the voice control with sop2. My FO set the stab trim always to 5,68, no matter the zwf and cg from
the fmc purports. Before the FO performs the stab trim, he update the zfw and cg in the FMC correct.

The manual says, THIS IS AN APPROXIMATION. FS2CREW CANNOT READ THE ACTUAL TAKEOFF TRIM VALUE FROM THE FMC.
YOU MAY NEED TO SLIGHTLY RE-TRIM. An approximation would be fine, but my FO, as i said, always trim to 5,68.

Does anyone have a tip for me what could be the problem ?

Hi Jens,

 

The FO is setting the stab trim to the same value every time.  That's correct.  That's what the FO does in SOP 2.

 

Due to SDK limits, we can't read the actual takeoff trim value out of the FMC as you properly read, so the the FO sets the trim to one value hoping that it's close.

 

So you need to adjust the trim if required.

Hi Bryan,

 

ah okay, than i understood the section in the manual.

Is this a fixed value or get fs2crew this e.g. from a config file ?
