vitaminBB Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 I started up DCS for the first time in a while. Unlike in the past, even with light armament, if you take off without adjusting the trim, you are likely to crash into the sea. Has this become a recent specification? By the way, the only armament is two AIM-9 missiles. vlc-record-2024-07-21-18h00m35s-Digital Combat Simulator-.mp4
razo+r Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 The Flight model has been adjusted, depending on how long your "a while" is. 1
Razor18 Posted August 3, 2024 Posted August 3, 2024 "...if you take off without adjusting the trim,..." But you know if you take off from a carrier, TRIM Reset is not enought, you have to adjust the trim to your takeoff weight, resulting in trim setting somewhere between 16 ad 19?...
Foka Posted August 3, 2024 Posted August 3, 2024 On the carrier you trimm for take-off according to aircraft weight. And it's not 12 deg, like on an airfield.

The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

CBStu Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 I usually don't bother to set trim vs weight. Every once in a while on the carrier I get a popup that says trim needs to be adjusted. I just keep adding trim until the popup goes away.
