Pitch Trimming Bug?

[badbud]

Full nose down trim on takeoff, and nose wheel lifts of runway by itself before any back pressure on stick. At any high speed flying with full nose down trim, forward stick pressure is always required in my simulated L-39 to maintain level flight. Not right says my "real world" L-39 pilot friend who gave my DCS L-39 a test flight. Hopefully, this is a bug and will be fixed!

Did you mix up the keys? Sounds like you trimmed tail down?

This sounds like an error on your part. Maybe your setup is wrong or you mixed up nose down with nose up as frumpy mentioned because I can't reproduce this. For me it is incredibly uncomfortable to take off with full nose down trim because I need to pull A LOT to lift the nose. Even in neutral trim I need quite a bit of backpressure to get the Albatros off the ground at its normal take off speed, however with take off trim I only need a light pull on the stick to lift off.

I think a real world pilot would notice if he trimmed the nose down but the nose raised.

Well I tried to take off with full nose down trim and let's just say I'm not doing it again. I think a short track showing the problem is in order.

You were all right on: programmed buttons were reversed. All is good now.

Thanks,
