I understand that the FO's setting of the trim to 5.68 is hard coded and needs to be reset by the Capt. before take off; but how about an option to change this?

 

On the PF briefing panel there are many options, and while I understand that trim is not SOP, perhaps one option would be to input the trim setting calculated by the FMC and have the FO use this value versus the default.

 

Pain to set the trim and then have to reset it.

Good idea, we'll consider it for a future upgrade.

 

But manually inputting the trim value will probably take longer than setting it.

 

Best solution is for PMDG to make the Trim value readable via the SDK.

 

Cheers,
