Is that real or the Sim?
(in asking that it really shows how good MSFS can look!)

Itās real - went to the Britten-Norman hangars for a tour today and saw the Trislander (minus engines) on the tarmac.

Overstressed the aircraft? whatās that all about, I was flying level with autopilot engaged descending slowly at 500fpm, almost a perfect flight from Alderney to Eastleigh using VOR (now I have figured that out) was just passing over the SAM VOR, so descending to land and then boom, overstressed. I was flying slightly in the yellow arc during cruise but that should be within acceptable limits, watching my video from my real flights in Trislander that was in the yellow, only just but was about where I was so I donāt think it was overspeed. Iāve seen some others saying they had this to but from what I remember they were manoeuvring, I had my wings level.
A bit of a disappointing end to an otherwise perfect flight.
Wonder if it will ever go to where it was supposed to go several years ago (the solent sky museum)
Iāve turned over-stress off recently. The shaking is actually more fun for me!
Also turned damage off. Itās cool seeing the physics make the plane tumble if you do make a mistake. You still know you would have died, or maybe you can still recover it. More interestingā¦ so itās up to you how you go from there.
Worth the āless realismā for āless annoyingā trade off!

Was it perhaps severe turbulence briefly? Yellow arc, plus turbulence maybe?

donāt know if these will help as I donāt know your factors at the time of the over stress But these are direct from the No. EASA.A.389 Type Certification
Load factors Flap UP / TO Flap DOWN
Positive +3.30g / +2.0g
Negative -1.32g / -0g

Possibly but I cant see them ever flying in the yellow in real life if turbulence could cause overstress.
Iāll try and keep it in the green for future flights.

that would make senseā¦ i will investigate turbulence recommendations
Has anyone had an issue with nose wheel steering when you just select an arrival airport on the world map then click fly and then land and slow to taxi speed. My nose wheel doesnāt turn and I canāt steer. Works fine if I choose a departure flight. Tried with and w/o the new nose wheel steering control binding. And w/o any addons.
Just to note that all other aircraft both msfs and third party steer correctly.
Ha! I was at Britten-Norman yesterday too. What tour were you on?
What would be interesting to test, and log, would be the following SimConnect data, measure in ft/sec:
Iāve just been having a play around with this. Roll shows on the X axis, pitch on Y, and Z is indicating longitudinally from thrust/drag. So if I pitch up I see postive values for Y, negative for pitching down. -X is a left bank, +X is right. Forward thrust is +Z, and -Z when I reduce power.
When enabled in SPAD it gives you a continuous readout, but you can also log to a file by ticking that box.
It would be interesting to enable aircraft, deliberately stress the airframe until a crash is detected, and see what values we get here. The crash should stop sending SimConnect events so we should see within a split second the maximum values recorded.
I had the 414 loaded at the time, and I think I saw about 71 ft/s on Y, which seems to be about 2.2G-units.
I donāt have the Trislander yet, but I may try logging some data for the Islander. Iām kind of curious what Iāll see.
be aware the BN2 Islander uses āoldā MSFS technologyā¦ the Trislander is streets ahead in respect of CFD and Prop Dynamics

I am assuming this is the same RICK I have been dealing with over email for the last week ?
We are investigating as you know and we will update the product just as soon as we can find the cause.
this is nothing to do with your key bindings and appears to be a fault / anomaly of the New MSFS nose wheel lock parameters from SU9

I managed my flight with no issues this time, well apart from my trackir have a spaz attack but thatās no fault of the Trislander!

Thanks much. In our last email exchange I thought you had indicated it was working for you using the updated file. So just wanted to see if I was the Lone Ranger here. Thx again
Yes, I think I understand. Even when I turned on airframe stress, and I was doing full loops at 127kts at 126ft/s^2 which is 3.947g it still wouldnāt crash. I had no luck with negative G either, though I could only pull off a paltry -1.43g.
Iām guessing I wouldnāt get away with that here. 
nahh ā¦ still investigating why its working here 
relax ā¦ do some āfull flightsā LOL
we will get back to you
