Hi all,

I have been flying helicopters here lately but I've noticed that the nose tilts up, is there a setting to stop this from happening? I was talking to a real helicopter pilot the other day and he told me that they have what is called force trim and it basically makes the aircraft stay where it is. Is there such in fs9?

Thanks in advance

Try adjusting the trim as if you were flying a fixed wing.

I've tried it and it doesn't seem to work

Which helo does this happen in? Have you checked you CG (center of gravity)? A CG that is aft of the preferred posistion can cause nose a up pitch to occur.

It happens in just about any helo I fly. They take off just fine but once they start gaining speed I have to push the stick forward to keep a balance.

How do I check the CG and how does it work?

Trim does too work - you just have to add a LOT of it.

Cool Thanks I'll it and see what happens

Sorry Guys but i think there was an error so i cant make my own link here, so since its got 2 do with choppers how do you open the rear doors on those hueys you download, like the Navy and Alpine ones. I know you can but how?

SHIFT + 1,2,3 Will open doors, but remember that not all aircraft have doors that will open
