Elevator Trim

Recommended Posts

I am using 1.1.9, which is a major improvement on 1.1.8 which didn't run on my machine.  However, now that I am back flying an excellent machine, I have found that the elevator trim is virtually ineffective using either my Saiteck  X56 stick or the mouse within VR.

 

Has anyone else come across this problem??

@ColSig As @marpilot stated the big gotcha is not flipping the AP/TRIMS switch to ON. If the AP/TRIMS switch is positioned to On and the elevator trim is still in-op, then take a glance at the Circuit Breaker panel on the right side of the cockpit and make sure the 7 1/2 AMP AP SERVOS circuit breaker is not tripped as this breaker does effect elevator electric trim.

Also, if the above is not the issue take a look at your Saitek X56 and make sure the control/s you are using for elevator trim are still assigned.

Hope it helps!

Well done both of you.  Finger trouble during start up!!!  Never too old to learn and re-learn

Well I can't say I haven't made the same mistake a time, or two, or three.....:rolleyes: Most of the time in my rush to enjoy the wild blue skies and not following the 'After Starting Engines' checklist, I run into this too.....:lol:
