never noticed the trim doing that. what speed were you doing?
Nope m8, tested a few minutes ago with the 182: grass moving no more!
Dunno if I just imagine it or if the new update did disable it all⊠sorry!
Itâs normally 90-92 knots when I am 200-300 feet AGL and disengage the auto-pilot.
Gear has been down and full flaps had been set when speed was falling past 119 knots. I will try to reproduce what I saw using .8B in a video later today or tomorrow.
Very interesting⊠hmm. Ill check again and see if it does something similar. By any chance, are you using FSUIPC? If not, what is the command you use to disengage autopilot? Im testing around with autopilot disconnect commands in FSUIPC and want to make sure all variables are eliminated.
Sorry, I am not using FSUIPC. I just have âToggle Autopilotâ mapped to button 11 on my old Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.
No need to apologize. I just wanted to make sure all variables were covered. I did another flight today, and I still dont get the issue you mentioned.
Real quick though, did you install the beta file separately or did you overwrite the contents of the previous public version of the mod? Overwriting tends to be finicky and sometimes introduces issues. Deleting the mod folder entirely and moving the new mod folder is the way to go.
Yes, I always delete the DA62X folder in the Community folder before copying a new DA62X folder there.
The good news is now I donât get the issue I mentioned. 
For some reason, I must have had the throttle well below 40% when I reported the trim issue. 40% is where I normally have the throttle when on the glide path and after disengaging AP today, the trim was just a skosh nose up so I had good control with the stick for the landing.
I had no issues with trim today. For some reason on that one landing just before disengaging AP, I must have reduced the throttle well below 40%, which would have caused AP to trim the nose up. Normally, I leave the throttle at 40% until I disengage AP, then I reduce it while landing. I blame the pilot

Air turbulence got more active since the last sim update for each plane, or the planes are more sensitive to it, even the non-CFD ones. It can be a reason for banking - Iâll also have a look at it later, havenât tried the new dev D62X yet.
After 3 more flights using .8B, it appears to require a bit more throttle just before landing than .7, perhaps because of the new flaps in .8B?
In .7 using 40% on the AP glide path, I would get 92 knots at 200-300 AGL with gear down at full flaps and trim would be just a little bit nose up which gives good stick control after disengaging AP.
In .8 using 40% on the AP glide path I was seeing the trim move toward full nose up again today, so I increased throttle to 50% and got 92 knots at 200-300 AGL with gear down at full flaps and trim just a little bit nose up.
So it looks like adding a little throttle during the AP glide path is all .8B needs and it still will touch the runway at about 88 knots assuming the throttle is turned fully off a few seconds before landing.
I have mapped key T to the Elevator Trim Axis (-100 to 100%) in Options - Controls Options - Keyboard, which has the effect of resetting elevator trim to the take off position.
I am finding I need this after disengaging AP when landing in .8B, otherwise, even with throttle at 50%, AP still leaves the trim more nose up than it did in .7 and the plane wants to lift off the runway if you let go off the stick after landing until the speed drops from the 88 knots landing speed.
I hope this can be tweaked before 8 is released. I also still have the all white M302 instruments and no way to correct that.
ah yeah the white instruments. its because of the highlighting feature. I dont use it, thats why i never saw it. I will remove that.
The diamonds experience more of a nose down moment from the flaps, so being trimmed pitch up during landing is correct. I will also turn the ground effect down abit, its too strong

pilots say it does
heh? what? who?
???
And some more to get to 8 characters.

If it did then itâd say so on the throttle quadrant. But it doesnât, soâŠ
Which pilots?
please provide proof 
the internet has lied,
and so has x plane 11
the da62 âThe DA62 has no reverse capabilities, and a minimum propeller pitch of 11°.â
What is an âinternetâ?
Seriously though, no reverse but the ECU that controls propeller pitch on the DA42/DA62 flattens the propeller blades when the power levers are brought back close to idle. This flat pitch causes a lot of drag, and at higher speeds you get a remarkable deceleration, or âthe speed brake effectâ that many diamond pilots speak of.
