I too have an issue with the Pitch trim being WAY too sensitive.  I changed the value in the aircraft.cfg for now, but would like to see people that actually know what they are doing to have a stab at it!

What exactly did you change, this is driving me crazy too

Tks, I tried that in the last build but it didnt seem to do anything, I'll give it another shot

Guys, I can't follow you on this trim thing.

Do you use your mouse in the VC or do you use the keyboard shortcuts?
If you use the last thing (which I do too), please check if there is a repeat rate set in the FSX keyboard setup.
That would explain the "over sensitivity".
I don't experience this issue, triming via the keys or my joystick works like on any other plane in my hangar and therefor good.

Has anyone of you already issued a ticket for this? What was the outcome?


And reading about the "10 Mile alert light" the second time, I can only say: Where are the pictures and a description with more details than "no longer works"?
No offense intended. I'm just looking for items that are discuss-able with a short look on a picture and some 1 or 2 sentences explaining them.

Thanks for your help and I think we can applaud to Captain Sim for enabling this attachment option for the guys that don't use (free!) image hoster services.
Feel free to use it.  

I get the 10 Mile alert (Pilot and Co-Pilot) every time if I fly DNS or INS flight. It works fine for me.

@CoolP. I got the L.H. Bottle Inactive Light come on when doing an engine start as per KB#6204. It went out after the #3 Engine started. It's the first time I've seen it since v1.0.

Jay, if the trim settings works on other peoples planes and using the standard controls for it (I don't know about the CH mechanics and functions), it will be hard to get support there.
For me, this doesn't look like a 1.2 bug to be mentioned or a 707 one. Seems too system and user dependent.

I don't understand the question towards that "non working" radar, WWA1935, because you have at least two guys (Mark and me) reporting about a functional one, so it can't be a general flaw but at least a system dependent or user related item.
I suggest to write a ticket then.

As you are reporting about the trim problem too together with describing a FSUIPC tweaked setup, I suggest going fully FSX standard first (shouldn't be hard on the trim function) and, if this fails, speaking of a probably Captain Sim 707 error thereafter.
We can't blame any dev for things that arise when using additional software and tweaked settings like your mentioned repeat rate.


Mark, thanks for the input on that KB article. I'll check that.
I just found this article stating
Engine Start Pressure Indicator ~ 3000
and if we look at our current bug list with the wrongly named gauge, we see: they are talking about some hydraulic pressure there while intentionally referring to air pressure.

The instrument reads 3000 PSI and I'd like to see some engine starting with that amount of air pressure.
This will probably be the last time you see that engine again.  
In short, the KB has to be changed too if we fill this item in as ticket, because I don't think that it indicates any start air pressure and TheFinn is right with naming it "hydraulic".

As for the L. H. Bottle thing, I thank you for your support there.
I still see it as a CoolP special and wouldn't even think about reporting it as bug as some guys tell me that it works for them.
Edited: Solved! If you use "high pressure" starts on engine 3 (like I did), the L. H. Bottle is empty after one attempt, so the warning is perfectly normal.
Use the default "low pressure" start variant together with external power and air and everything will be fine and like the manuals say.

I state this sentence just because I've just told the other guys about the need to differentiate between general flaws and system/user related items.


I think it's time to close this list and the 727 one too, so 757 and 767 can receive support from us.

Glad to read about some working stuff now.

As I said, we can't blame CS for not working with some special setups and, as you see, only few people report this trim thing while all others are operating withing limits.

Nobody said that you have to drop FSUIPC completely to fly the nice 707, I just suggested to leave your hardware where it is and try one flight with standard FSX trim controls.
If she works in this setup, you'll have to check your special hardware and interface stuff for possible flaws.
If she fails on using the standard (which she was designed for), we can talk about some possible Captaim Sim related bug.

So, go for it.  

@ Markoz...I have that LH bottle light lit too, and it never goes off!

@JayG...that's how the trim is for me too, no tweaks, no FSUIPC.  Just standard FSX settings mapped to joystick buttons.  Works normal on all my addons, including CS, another company, Carenado etc etc
