F-15 won't fly level

[Svend_Dellepude]

Am I the only one experiencing this or will the F-15 just not fly level?

The autotrim is almost there but its always pulling up, just a little.

The G'meter, even though you should fly straight and level, says 1.01G

 

Is there a fix?

Have you tried to neutralize the trim ? CTRL + T

IIRC

I've never tried F-15C in LOMAC/FC to such level to be able to discuss it but since there's the autotrim feature with Eagles is therea point of trimming it manually?!

 

I believe not, You can very much skip the trim mapping of your joystick buttons when creating F-15C profiles, right?

In real life yes, as most f-15's are slightly bent from use. In general though the F-15 will trim the pitch out on its own to maintain a constant g at stick deflection schedule.

Sure I have.

About the trim, following happens: Well as stated the F-15 won't stabilize at 1G. If I reset trim without having trimmed the A/C nothing happens (Surprise!). If I try to trim manualy in one or another direction and then reset CTRL + t The stick in the cockpit returns to 0, if I then press CTRL + t again the stick goes to another position (a little below 1G). Everytime I reset the stick will cycle between these two positions.

This happens only after manual trim.:huh:

Nothing is perfect ;) Engage altitude hold AP.

I guess that's gonna be the solution.

But anyway I'm just curious if anybody else have the same problem...?

Drink more water with it ...

I posted a query like this in the past and got an answer that the F-15s' wings where the cause of the aircraft always wanting to pitch up..

 

something like Positive Cambering of it's wings.. maybe ED modeled that too.
