Hi Fabian
What is the default setting? When do I use this?The default setting is 4 on Stab Trim Indicator or 0.0 with the
mouse over when displaying Cockpit Tooltips.
Notice that the white bar ends at #4 and my Cockpit Tooltip displays 0.0Make sure that on your default flight (FSX - Free Flight) has it's trim set to 0.0 according to the Cockpit Tooltip. I don't know if it does carry over to the 767 when loaded into FSX, but it is better to be sure in the first place.
CG/CoG is the Center of Gravity. The point where the amout of weight between the front and the back is equal. The best place for this is 1/3 the Wing Root Chord, this usually where the MAIN GEAR is located on an aircraft (Lou can correct me if I'm wrong
) AND It's not the same for a Tail Dragger. I don't fully understand how the numbers (25%, 27%, 30% etc.) work, but I do know that an aircraft has a limit or a range that it must keep within, otherwise it is nose or tail heavy.
In my flight example the aircraft weight is less than 330,000 pounds. I use 3 and the nose rises very fast. Why?
Your setting is the same as I would use
for the Stab Trim Indicator but certainly not the Cockpit Tooltip. If you are using 3.0 on the Cockpit Tooltip reading, this would explain your problem. If I use the Cockpit Tooltip reading, the Stab Trim Indicator is at
6. I do not go above 4 or below 2 on the Stab Trim Indicator (well not since I learned how it works
).
Hope this helps
Mark
