Author Topic: Trim tab idea (Read 494 times)

Any chance of getting the trim to be displayed in degrees instead of an ambigious slider bar?

This would help with attempts to "fly by the book" for things like carrier takeoffs and different flight conditions.

It would also help the realism fanatics fly with out "auto takeoff" and "combat trim".

Not really a FM change. Just a different way to display the information.

Err,

You know, 6 degrees right rudder.

I keep forgetting the Luftwabbles didn't put trim tabs in there birds:D

Mandoble,

Is that elavator trim?

I don't think they had rudder or aileron trim.

Yes, it is an electrically actuated elevator trim.

Not on all planes. Fw's had them, and I think the 109 too.

Ahem. There were (accurate, ) ammunition counters on all 109s / 190s

You can add some other features to the 190 "magic" bag:

Automatic prop pitch (overridable from the throttle handle)/revs.
Automatic fuel mixture.
Electrically actuated flaps (3 possitions) and gear.
Electrically actuated elevator trim.
