Title: How to set Stabiliser Trim?
Post by TrainNutter on Aug 21^st, 2019 at 11:35pm

Hi,
I just bought the 757-200PW & -200RR in the sale and I’ve done a couple of Flights on it. However, I have found that the stabiliser trim doesn’t work. I click to drag it and it springs back to the default position and when I press the button on my yoke to move it, nothing happens. Note that no changes have been made in the control settings as it works perfectly fine on my other aircraft.

Also, how do I calculate the amount of pitch I need?

Sound like hardware compatibility issue. Pls:
- disconnect all external controls except a keyboard and a mouse
- reboot
and try again.

That didn't fix anything. Must be a bug or something

Sorry, but it works fine me.

Using the Pitch Trim Switch (on the yoke), the Alternate Stabilizer Trim Lever (on the throttle quadtant), or setting the trim using the my VKBSim Gladiator II joystick assigned buttons, the Keyboard shortcuts, all move the trim to the setting of my choice, and remain there after I release the key/button. :-/

Hi, I have the same issue.
I noticed that when you use the mouse to adjust the trim lever and keep pulling,the white bar next to the green bar increases or decreases depending of which direction you pull the lever. But also than after releasing the mouse it doesn't change a thing and I get the red Stabilizer warning at take off roll...

Drag and hold the VC stab trim knob to set the trim.
