C172 Trim Not Correct

[andrew737]

Well, I count at least 4 builders of full pits here (Me, Ed, Boris, a Commanche and another possible B-17 but not counting Richard Banks..he's big enough and ugly enough to look after himself ) ) and a large number of "advanced hardware users" .

Many of the AHU's run into the same types of problems we do but are further constrained by using "off the shelf" products which don't always play nice.

I can float the idea with Scott if there is interest? I'd be happy to moderate that forum.

Hi Kill Ratio

Ive changed the pot to a vishay 10 turn 10k pot - much better

It would be good if we could do something in the software as well though.

If you think scott will bother then please do try

Kind Regards

Andrew

P.S. A year or so ago he did say he would look at it, but nothing happened even after a year of VERY polite requests!

It's not a matter of being "bothered" to do something. Actually for every request we get to go back into a code and change something to please someone we have about a hundred people who would NOT like us to do that. This is basically why we leave your type of request to your own decision whether or not to act on it. We DO however, caution you on the risks involved for the reasons I have stated quite plainly in prior postings on your issue.
Again, I hope you can find someone who can work with you on what you want to do but I don't see A2A acting officially in any manner to change a code on this issue.

Hey everyone,

the simple truth of the matter is, you get to a certain point with cockpit building and hardware where you need to learn and its is expected to do x y and z. The expectation is that advanced hardware is used by advanced users for the most part.

When you are buying the boards etc they all require custom code, tweaking and configuring. I am sorry but for the same reason others cannot, we cannot offer off the shelf solutions to hardware and custom builds that at there core do not offer or support it, but promote and require the builders input to create the custom solutions for the given circumstance. Its why flight training solutions from us and our competitors and partners be it software and hardware are mostly custom solutions working together to offer something that is custom to a given requirement.

thanks,
Lewis

One cannot argue with this beautifully put and perfectly understandable response - Thank you Lewis

Another point, Dudley's last comment about, what works for one does NOT work for 100 other people, is equally valid.

I get it; as frustrating as it is, I get it!

To the other contributors of this thread:

you have all gone above and beyond, amazing.

With your help I have now a satisfactory solution to my trim - THANK YOU

lets also not miss the main point here....

It is because the A2A product is vastly superior to others that I so desired a solution with this aircraft - that I feel deserves to be said.

I have my resolution and cannot thank this user community enough

BIG THANKS GUYS

[Lewis - A2A]

Thanks Andrew, I didn't want to come across as too dick'ish lol.

Its also a bit of a personal pet peeve of mine that it seems the more expensive the hardware you buy the less plug and play and compatibility it seems to come with. As a home simmer and someone who works in software its a most confusing situation to try and get my head around.

cheers,
Lewis
