Hammer3246 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Who can give me a decent tut. on trimming A/C in FC? I always seem to be chasing the plane, and can't seem to keep it level. Cheers 13900KF NVD4090 32RAM G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 If it's the Su-25 you are flying--read the manual carefully. There is no "reset trim" function on the Su-25--so whenever you engage an autopilot mode--it trims the a/c to achieve it's goal--when you take it off the auto pilot mode--the trim from the autopilot is still there--and you have to manually get it back to normal. However--I've found the easiest way is to use the Alt-1 autopilot mode after getting my nose where I want it--it will trim the a/c to that exact position--then you can cancel the autopilot with Alt-9--and you should be good to go. This is basically how I fly the aircraft--as I havent' ventured too far into the other autopilot modes. Beware of using the "A" autopilot mode--and disengaging it while it's turning--as stated above. Ironhand has created a first-rate training mission about the Su-25, introducing you to many of the autopilot modes available to the Frogfoot, among other things.

Hammer3246 Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks for the response BBQ. I should have mentioned A-10, but the notes re: SU- should come in handy. Cheers 13900KF NVD4090 32RAM G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBT Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If you've got a HOTAS with trim assigned to a rotary, you can use the curve and shift functions within Lockon's input configuration to slow it down a little, I've found that helped me a lot.

Hammer3246 Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'll give that a shot I use a Cougar and the antenna knob should work well. Cheers 13900KF NVD4090 32RAM G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
