I also fly in C172R convertable with S prop (180HP) and natural S model...
the both behave the same...

I dont know what to say
I think the problem is how much the engine effect on pitch moment...

Hi Lewis. yes I complete a pre-flight walk around and also make complete overhawl. I using FSX SP2 win7 system yes. I installed all updates no. i am not running any third party programs that alter weight and balance today I tried something else in real flight (C172S): I trim the aircraft for a level...

Hi I tried to uninstall C172 and delete the folder A2A_C172 also I delete folder A2A\Cessna172 than reinstall C172_FSX_v.2.0.EXE and again the same issue. the aircraft listoff itself at 60 KIAS and piched up for stall... then I trim down for climb... and look the strange effect: I tried to pich down...

Hi Lewis I have ~250 hours RL flying on C172 S / P / N I think its not normal that for climb I neets to trim between (A and K) letters and for cruise I needs to trim (K) letter from my real life experiences C172 S / P / N act almost the same about trim whell response. maybe the problem is how the th...

Hi I used A2A C172 trainer with last update and I got something wrong with trim or engine response. Here is some example: just before takeoff I set the trim in "takeoff" position: http://www.virtual-flight.com/dl/1.jpg the aircraft liftoff itself at ~60 KIAS and imidiatly pitchs up like th...

I start to think something wrong with my 172 installation.
for 80kts climb the trim is on the A letter
and when transtion to cruise, when reduce power I needs to set it on K letter (pitch up)

I dont know how to fix it...

Hi

I have no problem to set trim a bit nose down before takeoff.
my problem is the need to trim up (instead of down) in transition between climb and cruis...

I checked it again from different position: I flew with real C172S today trimmed for cruise at 2300 RPM at 105 kts then I add full throttle with no touch of yoke or trim. The nose rise up to 5 deg above horizon and stay there, resulting 500 fpm at 90 kts Then I go A2A C172 loads like it was in real ...

Yes, latest update is installed.
normal weight and ballance, 4 persons with half fuel 2400LB

I know all 172s are not the same but I dont know any aircraft that needs trim for up nose position to transition from climb to strait and level flight, and I also fly different types of GA aircrafts

most of the time I fly on S model and I notices there is no difference in trim from other models...

C172 S model (and also N ro P) but I dont think its different from R model

Hi In real life, before takeoff, I set the trim tab to center (take-off position). this setting is good enough for takeoff and climb at VY. then when transition from climb to strait and level flight, I first lower the nose, as the speed increase I pull throttle to ~2300 RPM and then needs to pitch d...

Thanks Andrew and Scott.

Paul. I know, you right but Iam looking in how the value changes and not the absolute values

Its confused because in A2A model the static RPM reaches in 2 secoond as real 172 but the engine develop full power in about 8 secconds It is a fixed pitch propeller... power should be a direct function of rpm. How do you know it takes 8 seconds to reach full power, if you are reaching 2100rpm in a...

100% right.

there is no problem with flying model, just with instrument indication
