Cloudmaster Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hi, I've just set up elevator trim for helicopters in my FSUIPC & am extremely pleased with the results. Will it be possible in a future release of FSUIPC to include aileron trim for use in helicopters to counter sideways drift (especially when manuevering around an airfield)? Having said that, is this used in the real world, or do pilots just steer into the wind with rudder & use elevator trim to counter thr drift? Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I've just set up elevator trim for helicopters in my FSUIPC & am extremely pleased with the results. Will it be possible in a future release of FSUIPC to include aileron trim for use in helicopters to counter sideways drift (especially when manuevering around an airfield)? Well, possible I suppose, but not so easy -- aileron and rudder trim in FS are very much set-and-forget settings unlike elevator trim which is used all the time and reasonably responsive. I have far less in the way of control to play with. Having said that, is this used in the real world, or do pilots just steer into the wind with rudder & use elevator trim to counter thr drift? Sorry, I really know nothing about helos so I can't comment. It is really the worst time to ask me for new facilities when I need to concentate on getting the existing ones all working on FSX. Maybe you could do some research yourself -- find a forum where helo experts hang out and chat with them -- and come back in, say, November to ask again if it looks to be a good idea still?

Cloudmaster Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply Peter, I might just do as you suggest & research the real world setup. In the meantime I'll leave you in peace to do the FSX development, much more important :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
