Yeap, I must have accidentally enabled it. Now it works, and indeed now the controls move as you apply trim. Tyvm! Regarding the magnetos switch, it's set to both, so probably it's a track issue.

Thanks for the answers. I tried again (attached track). I created a new mission, starting airborne ~3kft, 30% fuel. I set the throttle to ~50inHg, propeller full forward. And then I set the elevator trim to full tail heavy. If I don't apply any pressure on the controls, the plane loses altitude (VSI keeps dropping). Am I doing something obviously wrong? tf51d-trim.trk

Not sure if I should post this in this subforum, but I was giving the TF-51D a try, and it seems that the elevator trim is not working. I trim the plane full tail-heavy, and even with max power settings, if I let the elevator input to neutral, the plane will gradually assume a nose down attitude. Is this expected? Am I doing something obviously wrong? IIRC, last time a flew the TF-51D, I could trim it to fly level and straight.

Hi, I read in an older forum thread that the ALT SCE switch functionality is not modeled for the A-10C. Is this still true? I know there's a HUD/IFFCC menu for the Delta mode updates (if I'm not mistaken), but I'm not sure if it's actually functional either. If the switch is not modeled, are the calculations / solutions just based on the actual correct values of altitude / target range / etc? Out of curiosity, is this switch actually still relevant for A-10Cs with DTS, since (I assume) the (target) ranging is performed (passively) by the DTS? Regarding the engine, I went over the long threads regarding the performance issue (disclaimer: I know that ED won't be changing anything regarding the engine performance, so I'm not trying to re-ignite the subject) and from what I read, people mostly focused on ITT being lower than what it should be. I did some tests and what I saw was that there was a hard limit on N2 RPM at ~94% at MAX throttle (that's the only constant thing regarding engine performance in all pressure / temperature conditions). Can anyone confirm if this is true for the real engines? Wouldn't a hard cap on N2 RPM explain the lower performance (ITT, PTFS, etc)? (second disclaimer: I have no idea how the game models the engines, so this might be complete nonsense). o/
