Typhoon elevator trim moving in opposite directions

[Groote_Goffert]

Trimming the Typhoon functions as expected. When switching to an external view, however, the elevator trim tabs move in opposite ways. Anyone else experiencing this?

Trim tabs work opposed to the control surface. what the tab is doing is pushing the control surface so that it trims the plane. So to trim the plane right you move the tab left, this pushes the rudder right.

Each trim tab on the elevator is working in opposite direction to each other, (left and right).

 

This of course is incorrect.

 

 

The one on the left is correct.

I noticed that the Typhoon Mk. 1b elevator trim moves in opposite directions.  The left (port side) elevator trim appears to move in the proper direction... up for nose heavy, down for tail heavy.  The right (starboard side) elevator trim moves in the opposite direction.  up for tail heavy, down for nose heavy.

 

This does not seem correct, but if it is, can anyone explain why this is?

It's a bug. Already been reported, though the developers haven't commented. It's visual only, but looks very weird.

Hurrah!

Time to take my new elevator trim animation for a spin.

Fixed in 5.203.

Yep. It works.
