Elevator trim problem

Featured Replies

Hi All,Sometimes whilst flying my elevator trim function goes to 100% up or down and it is not possible to correct the position with the L mouse click.Does anyone know why this happens and how to correct it?Thanks,:-hmmm

Hello Flyfisher,Does this occur when your PA is on or off ? And what are the planes with which you noticed this problem?

Azzurro,Seems to be a problem with the twin-engined aircraft eg Navajo Chieftan and DC3.Have not been troubled in the Cessna or Grumman.What do you mean by the PA?Cheers,

This won't be a total fix, but did you attempt the SHIFT(NUMPAD) 5 combo to reset all controls to neutral? My Thrustmaster sometimes throws the aerilons out of whack, so this is how I can correct that. Cheers, Mate...Ken (misses Christchurch!) :-sun1http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannernewkw.jpgGateway 700X; Intel P4 2.4GHz; 512MB RAM; NVIDIA Ti4200 4X AGP 128MB; SB Audigy; Thrustmaster TopGun Fox 2 Pro Shock
