Level stabiliser problem - kstoff - 18.08.2009

It seems in all new flyable bombers the level stabiliser doesn't keep the course straight. Apparently the torque makes a plane slowly slipping. I've checked the B-17 (all versions), B-24, B-25G, B-25H, Ju-88 Torp, Fw-200 and so on, and they all got this problem. All stock planes flies with level stabiliser perfectly on course no matter of fuel\bomb load, engines rpm and propellers settings.

Is it possible to fix this issue? I would be very thankful for any help.

Thanks in advance Smile

yes, you can trim your rudder with ctrl+y (left) and ctrl+x (right). :wink:

and i think you can trim the other controls too but im not sure (ctrl+arrows) :wink:

give it a try Tongue

Thanks, but it is impossible to use trim with level stabiliser applied. And without it I can't make the plane fly straight only by using trim, and even throttling engines differently. Besides in stock planes it works flawlessly without trimming.

So the problem is not solved by trimming Cry

WHAT???? it doesnt work??????

thats very strange, maybe check your controls if you changed something there, at least the rudder trim must work

i think many people can confirm that the rudder trim works fine with level stabiliser.

i sometimes fly Pe-2 and there the plane must be adjusted too, check it by pressing F2 and zoom very close to the plane

Hi,

Before u use level stabiliser u need to setup ure bomber for , 1 the bomb run (ure bomb alt , speed etc etc)
And 2 u need to trim ure plane before u hit level stabiliser , than u are good to go.
Thats the way it works for years now.

Hope`s it help u.

Well, if so, then i must have overlooked something. It would be great, if it DOES work Big Grin

I will try it asap. Thanks.

Rudder trim does indeed work while in level stabilizer, it's a very good tool to use when correcting the course while looking through the bombsight.
Elevator trim does work too, but only on an extremely marginal level. I.e. you would have to put in full up trim to get 5% of the normal trim, and offcourse, remember to reset it before you disable level stabilizer or things can get quite nasty... :wink:

Yes, it does work. Just on a much smaller scale so you can make much smaller adjustments. (Just like when in the bomb site).

trim does work with level stab as already posted. u just gotta keep the bubble in a level position. it usually doesnt take much in a b17, 5 or 6 clicks to the left.

Exactly what I was going to say. Have a look at the rudder bubble. If that isnt centred your never going to be able to fly in a straight line.

In both fighters & bombers, I always trim elevators & rudders so the plane flies straight & level. As repeated by those above, I too apply level stabiliser on a bomb run, then use rudder trim to track to target. Works a treat for me Smile

Thank you all guys, for answering my question. I've chceked it, and - YES, the rudder trim works when stabiliser is on :oops: I don't know how did I omitt it... So thanks once again :wink:

Still in future MODS it would be nice to see the level stabiliser working in modded plane like in stock ones, but it is not crucial now 8)
