Good point! I didn’t think of long screws. You also got me thinking of other ways, and now I’m exploring a metal bracket that creates a “shelf” under the desk. This way I can remove it easily and swap it out.

Thanks!

Same problem. What’s the solution?

Anyone from Brunner?

BAH! Nevermind. I just saw in the text to set to zero. 🙂

Stefan…. can you confirm that we are supposed to enter all zeros into the values shown in the documentation?

I am switching to X-Plane 11 and fly the C172 and want to confirm the values should all be zeros.

The picture shows all zeros…. but the text is silent on the issue and I don’t want to assume. 🙂

Thanks!

Hey Stefan,

Actually, I’m using your C-172 SP profile. 🙂

I messed with the Velocity setting under the trim and brought the speed down from 50 (default) to under 10.

This enables better fine tuning…. but I’m still only getting marginal tactile feedback…. and it takes much longer to trim.

Which, I guess, begs a question about what *should* I be feeling in the best case scenario?

One of the challenges, of course, is only having ever felt *my* yolk so I have nothing to compare it to.

Thus, assuming velocity is set at 50, flying an A2A C172 in P3D and having to apply back pressure to the yoke to remain in level flight… should I feel *some* relief in the back pressure when I push the trim rocker…. or does it have to hit some value before the yoke takes over some of the load?

My experience has been that when it eventually *does* relieve pressure, it usually over-compensates and I find myself pushing instead of pulling on the yoke to maintain level flight. I should also note that for testing purposes, I use one finger to hold level flight so I can immediately feel when the pressure is relieved.

In addition, I find that when I near the trimmed position (i.e. any pressing of the trim button will send it immediately out-of-trim with a +- 300-500 VS), I need to either push or pull the yoke VERY slightly hoping to find that “magic” spot of zero VS.

I know that trimming is very hard to do correctly in a sim, but I want to get as close as possible and hope for some guidance on this.

Thanks,

Paul

Hey Stefan,

Got the files and upgraded the firmware.

So far, the problem has not reappeared, so I have not needed to crack open the yoke to see if the cable is loose.

If it happens again, I’ll give it a go.

Thanks again for your prompt service!

UPDATE: After three power cycles and then letting the yoke sit for an hour unplugged from both power and USB, it seems to have fixed itself.

Since I seem to have a pretty old firmware version, is there a download area to update?

I’m hoping that will solve the occasional odd issues I have with the yoke from time to time.

Thanks,

Paul
