Please help,
I have a problem trimming out the Mooney and G18 Twin Beech and other planes with FS 9, I never had this problem with FS2002.

I  have replaced my old joy stick with a Logictech Exteme pro 3D, the only one I can afford now.

What I do is take off and fly to a certain height then start triming using power and adjustment with trim buttons, but I never can seem to get it neurtralized, completely level. But with some airplanes I can get it to work and fly level and not even touch the joy stick, just like I was on autopilot.

I have tried to set back the repeat rate on the trim buttons at half but I still lget lots of hilly flying which I don't like!!!

Any helps here?

Are you flying at full throttle? What are your realism setting for the simulator?

Sometimes to trim a plane up it is a battle between thr proper trim, prop, as well as throttle...

Hope this helps...;-)

Jared,

Thanks for your tips on trimming. I was flying at full throttle and then trying to trim. I do better by trimming at less speeds and then adjust when going to top speed.

My realism setting is set for easy, and I have the trim buttons repeat rate set at half ful value.

I still have some problems keeping the VSI Guage at zero and holding the trim their manually with the Mooney Bravo.

Do to you think some of my problems are  my hand eye coordination or a very senstive joy stick?

Any more helps, JFG 123

Climb to your assigned/desired altitude. Then set throttle for desired speed. Then trim.
