Title: Trim tab idea
Post by: F4UDOA on May 12, 2003, 11:14:01 AM

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.

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.

Automatic fuel mixture.
Electrically actuated flaps (3 possitions) and gear.
Electrically actuated elevator trim.
