September 25, 2025Sep 25 Try as I might I can't get this aircraft to fly level hands off. No problem with the other two aircraft I mainly use - Cessna 172 and Caravan. If I try to trim it out, the elevator trim gradually reduces. This happens whether I adjust the trim from my Fulcrum yoke or my Saitek panel. Left to its own devices the descent rate steadily and inexorably increases. It needs a lot of manual elevator to counteract it. It also needs a lot of elevator to take off, but I do get a positive AOA. However, once it starts to descend I can't get the AOA to show more than one degree even though the nose is pointing much higher. The aircraft behaves the same in both free flight and career. It's OK in autopilot. Is there something I'm missing or is pitch in this aircraft totally broken?
September 28, 2025Sep 28 The stock C400 is such wasted potential. It has so many bugs and wonkiness. The FDE is out in many areas, including the absence of any pitch stability at speed, that you've discovered. The base model and textures are really nice and it's such a fantastic aircraft IRL but the stock model is just another abandoned, unlikely to be updated Carenado rush job.

Thanks - at least I'm not alone 😞 Too bad I was relying it to be one of my main Career aircraft.

October 1, 2025Oct 1 I also have trim issues. I reported this to Carenado Via their zendesk support and was told it works fine on their end and have not had any reports from other users on this. I suggest you report your issues to Carenado so they can fix this. Scott
October 1, 2025Oct 1 I just took another look at the trim issue and solved it. Visually it works fine as I spin my saitek trim wheel but no effect on the aircraft for lift or decent. I use fsuipc for some of my controllers so I reset the trim and re-calibrated and now it works fine. I am flying this aircraft in msfs2020. It has no trim indicator on the panel not sure if there is supposed to be one but I asked carenado if they could add it. Scott

October 9, 2025Oct 9 Author OK, sorted out. I had a problem with mixture not adjusting, and twenty6 found at his end it was because automixture had been set. On checking assistances I found that somehow they'd all been turned on, even though I don't remember doing it! Removing other assistances sorted out the C400 pitch problem - much nicer to fly now.
