Hoggorm Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 In the cold start tutorial, I get to the point after start where I shall trim the aircraft to 3 deg nose up. Unfortunately, I cannot get the trim to work so the tutorial ends here for me... The trim does work in other missions (very slowly though - too slow?). Can it be some hydraulic system that is not turned on yet that should have been on?
Corrigan Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 There's something fishy going on with the trim. There's another thread. Some are having the same problem as you, and for others (like me) it works perfectly fine. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
Dahlbeck Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I also had that the first time. After a restart of the sim and a new try it worked. Also got me up to speed on the startup procedure... ;-)

Fishbreath Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I've never seen the trim work before the engine is on, and have never seen it fail to work after the engine is on, myself.

renhanxue Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Be aware that if you touch the emergency trim controls (NÖDTRIM, left side of the cockpit, very far back) that disables the normal trim controls. To re-enable, find the circuit breaker labeled TRIMSYST on the breaker panel on the right side, turn it off, and then turn it on again.
Dahlbeck Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 That's the one. The voice (tutorial, not the one in my head, mind you) told me to do stuff with trims that I couldn't find. Probably touched emergency trim in the process.

Didnt touch emergency trim, but given we had workaround for bugs using actual system features "against" the bug, I tried that already. Doesnt work. Best workaround is switch it into ATT for a second, leaves you with a trimmed plane. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
Los Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Guys the Trim works very slowly, like 30 seconds to a minute just to get to three degrees...like watching water turn to ice. Did you give it enough time to work?
Hoggorm Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Did you give it enough time to work? Yes
Csar Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I find that its the very last thing i do right on the runway or while the plane is taxi'ing , and i hold it down for a fair bit before it starts to move, you will Visually see the stick move as well in the cockpit which is way more helpful to indicate that your plane is trimming than the tiny needle burried.
Eihort Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah my stick doesn't even move, at all, and this issue makes it impossible to complete the scripted training mission.
