Has anyone been having problems with the airplane trim?

Using Thrustmaster HOTAS T.16000M and for some reason all of a sudden trim goes to a position where crash is imminent. Depending on the altitude flying, there's no time to recover. I have the latest drivers for the HOTAS, and all controls are working as they should in the game settings/controls menu.

If using Xbox One controller all is fine, no problems.
 
Sounds like it's mapped to something else unintentionally. Either a button that gets 'held' or an axis by the description.

Is it definitely the trim that's affected and not the pitch axis itself? Should be able to tell by the trim indicator on the external view HUD.

What other devices are connected?

Have you confirmed all AI assistance is also off?

Hi, thanks for quick reply. And for the hint aswell.

Found out what's causing it and it was trim that was default set to the throttle quadrant. So I used two different elevator trims, one from the joystick buttons and another ( which I wasn't even aware of) from the throttle, called joystic slider X from the game menus.
 
I grabbed a whole bunch of free mod aircraft over the weekend.
The A320nx seemed pretty good and HX135 was ok. Can’t say I was too impressed with the others (eg Hurricane, Zero).
Any good recommendations?
 
I’m actually tempted to pick up the fenix for practising certain stuff before sim checks… looks like they’ve gone ridiculously in depth.

Price for what they are promising is insanely low too tbh.

Any flavour of aircraft in particular you like?

Anything by Gotgravel is pretty good and he has some freebies (as well as working with devs like flying iron on planes like the spitfire, p-38 upcoming f6f etc).

If you are willing to spend some dollars, two of the best planes in the sim for me are the flying iron spitfire and the justflight bae hawk.
 
Thanks, downloading the Vertigo now, and have already bagged the Grravel.

Was the Hawk developed by the same group who did the DCS one? Not sure, but it would make me think twice.
 
Been back in MSFS the last few weeks....there's a massive wind farm being proposed up near my parents in Scotland, and they asked about hiring a visualisation company to see what it will look like, as all the developer have provided is 2d maps. I figured I'd give it a go, seeing as my day job isn't too far removed! Initially tried using GIS software, but couldn't get any sufficiently detailed height data for freebies. Scratched my head a bit, and thought that maybe using MSFS would be a decent option to try!

I've been buggering about a lot in Excel and have managed to take their limited data and convert it into the XML format MSFS uses for scenery mods, so have all of the turbine positions imported and spot on. Just trying to get the windmill scale correct.

The visualisations certainly look great with the visuals in MSFS :D

The Fenix A320 has been confirmed as costing just £49.99. The depth of it looks staggering and it’s nice to see such an easy and advanced livery system built in. I think this will definitely be my main fly.

I just wanted to check that I am understanding this correctly. Is this a highly detailed model of the A320 with "upgraded" flight physics? What are the additional details in the cockpit vs the standard MSFS model? Is the intent for the upgrades to more closely match the A320 in real life?

I don't own MSFS, I'm just trying to understand what this is before a slide it in front of my friend.

It’s a million miles from the standard model. The standard model is an unrealistic, shoddy joke only suitable for the likes of arcade gamers.

The Fenix is a proper simulation. Accurate visuals, modelling, every function of a real A320 and an accurate representation of how the real plane works. It’s what is called a study level plane. You can’t just get in and fly, you need to learn first and keep on learning as you go on.
