Pitch trim in Spitfire problem

[HagarTheHorrible]

Is anybody else finding the pitch trim in the Spitfire odd ?

 

I use a G940 FFB stick so feel the relative pressure of adjustments. My only comparable experience is the DCS Spit where it works as I would vaugly expect, nose pitch up and I have to increase forward pressure, down pitch and I have to increase back pressure.

 

When flying the BoX Spitfire I have to pitch the nose up to it's max to get any nose down pitching while pitching the nose down forces the nose up.

 

Is it just me ?

The spit is what as known as neutraly stable in the pitch axis. Basically it will point where you put it, the trim will help u turn.

You sure you do not have the control set-up backwards? I did that early on and wondered why it felt weird...

Yes, it sounds like a control mis-setup. I find the elevator pitch and its trim really well modelled and accurate. Using both elevator and rudder bias one really can fly hands off.

Thanks , I think I've realized what I did wrong. Just me being thick ( as per usual )

For God sakes man, he said he was being thick!

 

Lol

But all in all, there's a gauge on the lower left dashboard that shows if your trimmed nose up or nose down..

Coming from clod as well, I noticed that trimming was a bit different in feel but worked the same...

Gotta love the insta black out in the spit

I was adding one and one and getting two when obviously it should have been three. Just because I think I know what I'm trying to do doesn't mean that the computer or my controller does.

 

That said, I haven't actually tried my solution yet, it's still just a theory but let's face it , when has theory and reality ever proven wrong ?
