Sludge Hornet v2.0
SpazSinbad:
'Sludge' good to know that you and your friends/family are safe. We are just catching up here in Australia with the horrific aspect of that tornado in your part of the world. Very sad to hear that so many people have died in that ferocious storm.
Herbie:
Hello Sludge!
Nice to hear you, the house and your friends OK! I did worried about you! Not the Sludge Hornet v.2 getting ready. Herb

Hi Sludge,
Any word on the auto trim getting shut off? I was trying the Carrier Landing IMC mission last night and it was showing trimmed at 7.8 as soon as I dropped the gear and flaps one notch. I was reading through some of the older posts here, but didn't see that you mentioned a fix for this. Thanks for the great work that you have done with this fine bird and KUDDOO's to you!!!

Hornet...
Ya, I thought I fixed that, but maybe not. Lemme check things out. I'll look at it tonight but will be going off-line for a few days as I'm gonna NUKE my system. Just bought a 250GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD (videos/music/large data), so I'm in the process of backing up stuff and then having to re-install everything. Might take a few days, but I'll let you know when I'm back online.
One way you can try to DISABLE the auto-trim yourself is to go into the panel.cfg file and REM OUT "//" the appropriate GAUGExx line at the very bottom of the file. It should look something like "Gauge21 FA-18A+ FCS PA-PID". If you REM it out and then renumber the remaining GAUGExx numbers sequentially, it should "release" the trim controls back to you while retaining the function of the other necessary gauges.
Just remember, make a copy of the working ORIGINAL Panel.CFG file, rename it to Panel.CFG.ORIG or whatever, then go to town on the Panel.CFG file as described above. This way, you can see have your changes up and examine them line-for-line, in case you get into trouble doing this self-mod.

Thanks for that. Can you show me what REM'ing out looks like please? I learn quick and have self-taught myself most of what I know about computers. Is it just putting '//' in front of and behind the lines I want to rem? Patiently waiting.
I was able to complete the Carrier Landing IMC mission this morning, but used the Combat Hornet as I was able to manually trim it out. Sorry about not using your fine aircraft, but it was quite twitchy when trimmed at 7.8 for most of the flight down to the deck.
