• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I have to hold the stick back to keep the nose up on this A/C. I tried calibrating the joystick and it still wants to dive when I centralize the stick.
The P-40C and other A/C fly just fine. What am I missing?

If you have the AIREDIT program, open the air file, under section 1101 Primary Aerodynamics, look for these two entries:

*Pitch Moment Coeff at AoA=0 (CoG offset) *2048 = ______ a positive value will cause the ac nose to pitch up at 0 deg angle of attack

*Pitch Moment due to Elevator *2048= -______ a smaller negative value will increase the elevator effectiveness and let you pull higher g's. If the original number is -1000, change it to -1200 or smaller.


Play with these two numbers, if you can't get it to trim up, then stop. Most designer will have the aircraft set up with a reasonable setting.
