Baitball Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Is there a way for me to see exactly what my nose up trim is when I am launching from the catapult? Or is this the same trim value I see of 12 degrees in the FCS when the takeoff trim button is pushed? I am trying to use the trim values from the NATOPS manual regarding the different take off weights but I can't seem to be able to identify where exactly I can see my nose up trim.

Carrier take off defaults to 16 degrees for 33-34000 lbs (in the Quick Mission 'Carrier Take Off', resets to FCS flight mode after wheels and flaps up). More weight, then more pitch more power according to table and whats been said on the forum. | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen |
Baitball Posted June 23, 2018 Author Posted June 23, 2018 Yes...checklist page on DDI. Stab trim on the fcs page but you can also see it on the checklist page. So the stab trim and the nose up trim listed on the trim to weight sheet are the same things, correct? Carrier take off defaults to 16 degrees for 33-34000 lbs (in the Quick Mission 'Carrier Take Off', resets to FCS flight mode after wheels and flaps up).

Do you mean that the aircraft currently trims itself to the proper increased trim setting upon pressing the takeoff trim button (if our weight demands the increased trim, of course)?

No, it defaults to 12, at least for now. You need to put the rest of the NU trim in yourself.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Do you mean that the aircraft currently trims itself to the proper increased trim setting upon pressing the takeoff trim button (if our weight demands the increased trim, of course)? T/O trim sets 12 degrees nose up; this is field takeoff setting only. You have to set it yourself for the carrier. For weights under 44,000lbs set 16 degrees.
fitness88 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 When are full flaps used, seems all the scenarios everyone is using 1/2 flaps? Can flaps be adjusted to allow for increments between 1/2 and full or 0-1/2?

fitness88 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I use half flaps for carrier launches, full flaps for carrier landings. So is it a function of weight and speed that determines flaps? I've heard that full flaps isn't modelled correctly.
AMEDooley Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 You should never be in full flaps for take off. Take off flap position is Half as per NATOPS. On landing you should be using Full flaps. Again per NATOPS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I am not well enough versed to say , just that seems to be working fine for me for my launches and landings.

fitness88 Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I am not well enough versed to say , just that seems to be working fine for me for my launches and landings. Using 1/2 flaps I come in to land a bit faster [10-15 kts] than when I use full flaps but I come in more controlled. Edited June 24, 2018 by fitness88
Hiddenxreaper Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 I think over 45,000 lbs use mil/max and full flaps for t/o
