MikeDV Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi, my install is working great, however am absolutely baffled as to why I cannot fly any of the big jets manually. I just want to fly them (as in touch and go), but it seems to be a battle for control on every jet. Is there another autopilot or something I missed? I always shut off the FD, autothrottle, AP, ALT hold, all of it prior to takeoff, the "assistance settings" are all off, and still the planes adjust their own trim and battle me to climb out instead of letting me fly them at a given altitude. Basically I start at airport "wherever", and set same for arrival. Things go OK until I get off the ground then the trim ghost takes over every time. I push the nose down, the trim forces it up, and so on. My trim control is not crossed with another button or axis, but again, if I want to descend or hold level using trim to say xx%, back up it goes by itself and I climb. Even if my speed is at 180 or so, climb it will. Has to be user fail, maybe old habits from the simpler FS9 and FSX days? My goal is just to get used to the sim and enjoy practicing. Any ideas appreciated, I don't have this issue with the GA. Thanks!

Cavulife Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Nice job in trying to trouble shoot this yourself. That's a lot of good info. You are in Modern flight model I assume. And you say that Assistance is OFF, that means under Options, not the one at the top of the screen when you're in the plane? I just tried a circuit in the 787 at 5,000 ft. It is hard to get it to level off without pulling back the throttle quite a bit. Here is what I did: Flaps 15 for takeoff. Disconnect Autothrottle. Left the AP off and didn't touch any other AP commands like ALT. After takeoff, gear up, start bringing up flaps. Left them at 5 degrees for the circuit. Throttle back to N1=67. Stick forward to level off and a little trim down. Speed about 200kts onto downwind then start adding flaps, gear and slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDV Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks Cavulife! I will try this today, I appreciate your detail! Also, I found this on the MSFS forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a320-automatically-changing-trim/237197 Mike Dell XPS 8930 Core I9-9900 3.10 GHz, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, 32GB RAM @2666 Mhz, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, 1 + 2 TB SSD’s and 1 + 2 TB spinner sata’s, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X, FS9, FSX, MSFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDV Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Additional info... (can't figure out how to edit my other post) Yes, I have the "main" setting set to assist off. Also, Yes, Modern AC mode. Thanks again!
