You move the sidestick to set the pitch. This isn’t totally accurate to say but the sidestick is essentially a trim switch on an airbus - you move it forward and the aircraft sets the attitude that you asked it to and is trimmed for that attitude. Once you have set takeoff trim, the trimwheel is never touched again unless you are going touch and go’s where, in the real world, the pilot not flying would grab it after touchdown to stop it from trimming down as it does on the ground

Ok.
Is any one here that can describe why Inib has implemented this Pitch trim wheel control as is now? So it can be controlled only down and not up with digital input from device. Really, it is not expected again and again to see descriptions how fbw is working. Many thanks.
On other case pls read the Topic here:
A300-200RR Can’t get radios to work. I get The Electrical Systems must be turned on in order to use the radio to speak to ATC.
Is this a bug? I have everything on but no radios.
PS Pitch trim wheel does not work here
Hi,
I recommend to do tests with start aircraft from EFB presets or manually with GPU connection first, then initiate connection to it and then to do tests with ATC. Sry but generally I expect electrical system to be ON to work with any device like radios.
the trim wheel is automatically set to the value in the FMC on the longer, widebody airbuses (to mitigate the risk of tailstrike), but NOT on the narrowbodies. on the a320, for instance, the trim wheel DOES need to be manually set to the same value as the FMC (something which has always slightly surprised me, tbh).
It’s a bug, simple as that. I should work both ways with the keybinds but it doesn’t and hopefully it will get fixed soon. But personally, I always set the trim by hovering over with my mouse and use the mouse wheel
