Hi,

time ago I posted here a similar thread...I got some replies but unfortunately none of them helped...so here I go again  Grin
Where can I set the vertical trim sensitivity related to a panel?
Specifically I downloaded a panel for the ATR42-500 (Air Dolomiti) and the original panel "shipped" with the aircraft was ok but the one I downloaded (if I'm correct the one from Francisco something...sorry) is much more better for the graphics but the trim regulator (adjusted with the joystick) is too sensitive so I have the aircraft that "jump" with the nose up or down just touching the trim regulator making the aircraft stabilization almost impossible or hard to do !
How can I reduce this sensitivity?

Thank you and best regards.

Bob

In the aircraft's  'aircraf.cfg'  file (main folder(use Wordpad or Notepad to open it)) there is a paragraph that will look like this:


[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar     = 1.0
parasite_drag_scalar   = 1.0
induced_drag_scalar    = 1.0
elevator_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_effectiveness  = 1.0
rudder_effectiveness   = 1.0
pitch_stability        = 1.0
roll_stability         = 1.0
yaw_stability          = 1.0
elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_trim_effectiveness  = 1.0
rudder_trim_effectiveness   = 1.0

Obviously you want to adjust the elevator_trim_effectiveness.  Reduce the 1.0 by 0.05 increments (first test being 0.95) until you get it where it feels right. Of course, make a backup of the file, just in case you really mess things up  Wink
