I leave mine set at 0 (zero) according to the mouse over Cockpit Tooltip on the trim control knob. Sometimes I might actually lower it to about -0.3 but rarely any lower. I never go above 0 or my 767 climbs very steeply, even with it at near MTOW.

If you use FsPassenger. You can use their  C/G settings.  I utilize TOPCAT . It works well.

Yes indeed, I know about Topcat and it will probably be my final choice after all (in spite of that silly name!). Because The calculation to reach a proper trim is in fact rather complex.

But for now, I'm just trying this CS model out, so I just need some raw, but somewhat, vice suggestions based on experience! �

Last time I flew BA B767 RR. A 2 hour flight, from Z�rich to Rome with 110 passengers and a GRW of 255.4. I chose C/G 24% and grabbed the calculated CDU Trim suggestion of 2.85, which all resulted in Takeoff-abortion because of loud and insistent Stabilizer alarm!
The 24% was just something that I picked up from another thread - but obviously this most be a wrong value or at least based on some entirely different weight conditions!

Thanks for adding that bit of missing information Michael.

0.0 is my main setting because I do a lot of flights with the plane close to MTOW. Basically, I put in a full load of passenger, fill the fuel tanks and cargo takes up the rest of the weight until MTOW, then off I go to some distant destination. I do this more often with the 762 because it has a longer range!
