Pitch trim wheel moving by itself with AP off

[Jojo38000]

Hi,

 

Probably a dumb question, but I noticed several times during approaches that the trim wheel is moving by itself, even with the autopilot/authrottle off (only FD)... Is this normal ? Or is it a bug/axis conflict ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

I think we are quite accustomed to poor simulations, when ixeg simulates not only basic systems but complex systems that runs beyond the pilot on the real thing we see issues everywhere 

you better watch this

Well, Jan saw it coming... He expected some bug reports about that, and he was right !

 

Been troubleshooting X-Plane all day, so it's just the paranoïa kicking in I guess.  

Thanks, completely forgot about this video.

So it's a semi-airbus with semi-autotrim?

I did wonder why it was trimming it's self. i thought I had a ghost in the cockpit at first. Now i know

You are not alone. There are probably quite a few 737 pilots out there that don´t really understand the system and why the airplane manufacturer introduced it.
