Trim is not working properly in the Robin DR 400. Normally the trim should be set to 4 in the neutral position, which is what it is, but in this setting the machine makes a nosedive. You have to set the trim between 7 and 8, then the machine flies straight out.
The Diamond reacts too aggressively to aileron inputs, it is not flyable. I have the sensitivity to -76, which works very well on the other machines (C152, C172, Robin DR 400).
And the game still crashes very often. Sometimes I can fly 3 hours straight without any problems and sometimes it’s over after 1 hour. Suddenly it starts to stutter extremely and with ca. 3-5 frames you are suddenly back at the desktop. It also often crashes when you want to go back to the main menu.
These are all either TACAN or pure DME.
It seems that most if not all TACAN and DME are not working, although they appear on the map.
I did open a zendesk ticket for the TACAN and i was informed yesterday that it was transfered to the internal bug and issue tracker. Likely will be fixed in one of the next patches.
Seems that the MSFS planner calls everything that is NOT an ADF a VOR DME… So TACAN, VORTAC, LOC… It’s almost all a VOR DME according to MSFS. I always check on SkyVector if it REALLY is a VOR DME that I can use for VOR-flying.
I am having the same (or similar) issue with the trim in the Robin 400 (no issues trimming other aircraft), the plane will not achieve consistent cruise level flight without quite a lot of nose up trim which throws the angle of attack way off, and if I reduce the upward trim, the plane will dive unless I pull back on the stick. Cruise speed and RPM’s are correct though.
I have chatted with others who are not experiencing this, or at least appear not to have a problem with it, so it may be random.
I’m guessing I was trying to cruise too slow. I was going to post a zendesk report, and wanted better pictures to illustrate what was happening so took a short flight. I was able to trim the plane to level flight with just a small amount of nose up trim (the angle of attack still shows as somewhat off, one green bar and one orange bar), but at a speed of around 185 km/h (approx 100 ktas) the plane flew level without me needing to touch the stick at all.
I do think the trim on that particular plane is quite sensitive as the movements hardly showed on the cockpit trim lever and didn’t register at all on the trim indicator on the external cam.
