Trim tabs and controls/ indicators
Posted: 02 Sep 2008, 16:12
I love this A/C and look forward to the accusim mod! I have the P40 and the P51 already and may go for the solo spit next as warbirds are my bag!
Anyhoo....I hate to point out potential problems but.....
Unless im some form of fool (and thats a good probability!) i think there is a problem with the rudder and aileron trim tabs and controls.
Rudder trim: Unless the P47 was deliberately built this way i think that the trim contol and position indicator works the opposite of how it should. I.E. turn the knob to the right, the indicator moves right but the aircraft nose moves left, and the opposite is true. Basically i think the rudder trim is reversed within the model. the trim tab animation on the tail is however is correct
Aileron trim. This has the same problem as the rudder trim, i.e move the control right, the indicator goes right but the left wing goes down. Again this appears to be reveresed. Also the trim tab on the left wing is definately wrong. when the trim tab is up, the left wing should go down, not as it appears in the sim.
I use a BU0836 joystick emulator thingy with rotary dials (i have my own mini cockpit setup) to opperate these controls via FSUIPC. whilst its possible to reverse the direction of the physical control, the animation still appears to be incorrect.
I have had a glass of Red as I write this so I hope its not gone to the head and im all wrong!
