FBW and Trim

<< < (2/2)

SUBS17:
Yeah there are alot of Falcon 4 forums with good discussions on the FBW/Trim and lockon forums also have had a few threads in the past but the best answers I've seen on the topic have been at the FighterOps forums where a real F-16 pilot talked about how often he uses trim. FSXs FBW is sort of modelled in that at lower speeds the aircraft will automatically lower its flaps but the FBW behaviour is not there eg if I pull back on the stick 10 degrees and release it should remain at 10 degree climb where as in FSX it requires trim to stay there.(should only require trim if I try to fly level inverted) The F-16s control setup is quite different from a Hornet the stick works off pressure it only moves about 1/4 of an inch. There is a comparrison by a real Hornet pilot on the F-16 somewhere on the Net who flew a Viper its quite good seeing his perspective on it.
