hiddenace Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) When to start up a flight and the Trim was stuck in the full nose down position. Things I already tried. (Using Xplane 11.51B2) 1) CB panel checked all breakers in 2) autopilot confirmed off (also power cycled the autopilot several times 3) isolated my joystick by unplugging 4) full shut down and restart of sim 5) checked MX manager all green. Still paid the $7,500 to change out the elevator linkage the only thing that seems to fix it. Is popping the AP Servo CB, but then i don’t have autopilot.

Goran_M Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Go into maintenance manager and check trim linkages. You likely had a tail strike, or the the aircraft dropped on loading and damaged them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiddenace Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 See bullet #5 I checked all of that and even replaced it anyway still is happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjb4000 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Is it possible you have a script or joystick assignment or something assigned to manipulate trim that's being activated continuously? It looks like right after you move the trim wheel the trim is moved back to the nose down position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll double check to make sure I don’t have trim assigned to my throttle and get back to you guys. I’ve also reverted back to 11.51R2 so if that resolves it then it’s could be a Beta issue. I know you guys don’t support Beta versions of X-Plane so I’ll stay at 11.50R2 for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched someone stream the TBM within the last week, and he had no problems in the latest version of X-Plane. This definitely looks like some kind of hardware calibration issue or some kind of script forcing the trim to do things it shouldn't be doing.

CJSouthern Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Stuck key on keyboard? Perhaps try with keyboard disconnected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
