Two questions

Post by DwaOhio » Mon Aug 13, 2018 7:43 pm

Where is the elevator trim in the T-38 Adv. I can not establish level flight. When I let go of the stick the aircraft goes nose high.


The second question is when the GPS and autopilot how does it work. Again when the autopilot is turned on the plane goes nose high and stalls. basically the autopilot doesn't work.

The elevator trim is assigned using the P3D elevator trim commands.

There is no autopilot in the real aircraft, nor can the simulator autopilot be used because it will conflict with the external flight model.

Just an additional comment to Jon's: a mid sensitivity (half bar) for the trim command is recommended

I can’t get the trim to work. Nothing happens when I try to get level flight.

Where is the elevator trim indicator?
How do you keep the aircraft from going into a nose high attitude and then go into a stall.

There is no trim indicator in the T38 aircraft.
