Mr_Burns Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi, Was conscious of not taking the breaking up thread off topic but is the trim function final or temporary? I find missions start out with a poorly trimmed aircraft, usually in a nose dive. Correcting it using only nose up causes it to roll slightly. Also, the trim is super sensitive, like i tap it left to stop it rolling right and it rolls left. Is it possible that it is too sensitive? I understand when a missile/bomb is dropped or you have an unbalanced load out, it would just be nicer to have a larger dead spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What kind of load are you using? I experience sensitive trimming in all fixed-wing aircraft in DCS. It seems nearly impossible to trim anything to the point where you can take your hand off the stick. The nose down attitude I really only experience on takeoffs, and that's with trim set 2°ND as per NATOPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever loadout the mission selects, if I ramp start its not so much of an issue except if a roll creeps in. I was able to trim the A-10C much easier than the Harrier to the point I could pretty much take my hand off the stick, that said, I have never flown a real plane. Perhaps the Autopilot (is there one?) will make it much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright_GR1 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am finding trimming is quite predictable, nose up causes the aircraft to roll right slightly and nose down makes it roll left - anyone else finding that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisy_lightning Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I had issues with trim up to the point of adding a small dead zone to the stick then it was very trimable. I think I set a value of 5 on the DZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, sorry for the silly question, but what 2°ND trim means and which instrument in the harrier cockpit shows you this trim? one of the two Trim Position Indicators? Thanks!

Nealius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 ND stands for Nose Down. Either on the trim indicator above the right MPCD or in the ENG page. I noticed there's a bit of a lag between the analog trim indicator and the ENG page...it's possible to have 1° difference between the two. I don't know which one is more accurate.

Eldur Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Not to mention the indicator should display tenths decimal values. As seen in the NATOPS 2-20 (p. 98 in PDF) there's an image of the MPCD engine page with "STAB POS 2.2°↓" on the display. Such, the indicator would actually be of use.

Raz_Specter Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 yeah i also have issues getting a perfect trim to be able to sustain a level forward flight, hope this gets sorted soon or the Autopilot is released as if heads down in the pit, its very difficult to be honest Custom built W10 Pro 64Bit, Intel Core i9 9900k, Asus ROG Maximus Code XI Z390, 64GB DDR4 3200 RGB, Samsung 1TB NVme M.2 Drive, Gigabyte AORUS 2080TI, 40" Iiyama Display.
