When you take off with the 737 max with high trim set it will most likely take off on its own and it isn’t as realistic for what I expected and they need to fix this in the next update
Hi @Qwertyuiop75843 and welcome to the forum !
Your post has been moved to the User Support Hub since not SU2 related.
You need to set your trim based on your ZFWCG. Note also that the tooltip values for the trim wheel do NOT match up with the actual trim values in several aircraft. Use the scale printed next to the trim wheel.
Otherwise you will either have a very hard time pulling the nose up on takeoff or the nose will shoot up and you’ll start dragging the tail down the runway until you pick up enough speed to lift off the ground.
Is there a numeric scale? All I see is a green band (and I have tooltips turned off, so not seeing that either). What am I missing on the Asobo Max 8?
Look in the EFB to get your center of gravity. The info icon next to your total mass will show you additional information like your zero fuel weight (ZFW), etc. Make sure to wait until the aircraft is fully fueled and all passengers/cargo is loaded before entering the CG because it will change as the aircraft is being loaded.
(Aircraft > Flight Performances > Mass and Balance)
Enter your CG into the FMS on the Takeoff Ref page. It will calculate a trim value just to the right of your entry. Ex: 3.00
Then take that value and use it to set your Stabilizer Trim by spinning the trim wheel until the arrow (left of the green band) points to the trim value you want using the scale. The screenshot shows the trim set to around 4.5. Note that the tooltip shown while you are mousing over the trim wheel does not have the actual trim value, so do not use the tool tip value to set your trim; use the scale next to the arrow.
