Elevator Trim Disconnect with AP

*** Moved from main support forum to FSUIPC7 support sub-forum ***

Hi,

I am not sur if i am understanding this correctly.In Misc i ticked the box Disconnect Elevator Trim with AP.

I thought when this was done the elevator trim would have no effect but it does.If i turn the wheel the trim indicator moves then slips back.i thought there would be nothing happening if this

box was ticked and you moved the wheel.

I was wanting to use this as my trim wheel appears to be a bit noisy and upsets the AP.I am using it in MSFS.

Thanks

Les

Then you are using FSUIPC7, and should have posted this in the FSUIPC7 sub-forum. II will move your post.

Can you please show me/attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files, the latter generated from a session where you experience the issue.

John

Btw, what aircraft are you using? If I have it, I can check this here. Or does this apply to all aircraft? Can you check this in a default/Asobo aircraft or two (if not done already)?

It should have no affect if disconnected, but it could be an aircraft-specific issue. I need to know how your trim is assigned, as well as the aircraft. Is any trim actually being applied (even briefly), or is this just a visual thing?

Hi John,

sorry about posting in wrong area,havent need to come here in decades.

To answer your question;

1.The freeze lua works.

2. With the box ticked in options and i activate AP the Aileron axis is disabled,both the elevator and elevator trim still work.

3.The trim is assigned in msfs to axis -100 to +100.

4. This happens in the Default c172,.black square bonanza,carenadoc1823rg II.

5.The trim gauge indicator moves but returns to its original pos when trim wheel is released.

6. Have attached said files.

Hope i have covered every thing.

thanks

Les

1. You attached your FSUIPC7.log file when FSUIPC7 was still running. Please exit FSUIPC before attaching files (log and ini).

2. You trim is NOT assigned in FSUIPC. Your ini file shows no button or key assignments, and you only have axis assignments to set the Flaps:

Quote

[Axes]
PollInterval=10
RangeRepeatRate=10
0=CY,1,F,66534,0,0,0    -{ TO SIM: AXIS_FLAPS_SET }-
1=KZ,256,F,66534,0,0,0    -{ TO SIM: AXIS_FLAPS_SET }-

FSUIPC can only disable the trim if/when assigned in FSUIPC.
