Trim Settings

[Spikestrip]

I just bought a USB controller and can fly, but I can't seem to get models trimmed out correctly. Are there trim settings I'm missing?

Thanks!

There are several models in FMS which do not fly correctly.
IMH too many.
Presumed the transmitter is calibrated correctly, the only possibility for an improvement is to edit the .par file. Sorry.
Kind regards from Switzerland

In the alpha 2.8 version of FMS, the airplanes now model engine torque which will keep the airplane turning in one direction or the other depending on whether the prop is rotating right or left.

There are 2 ways to counter this effect in the .par file. One way is to have 2 motor entries with counter rotating props. The other is to reduce the motor's "moment of enertia" to a smaller number until the effect is almost zero.

Of course, if you have an actual transmitter connected to FMS, just dial in the right amount of trim. <smile>

is the B4. I have no HP for my own.
If you need a translation of the .txt let me know.
Shift the CG to
-0.095 0 0
for even better performance.
Kind regards

Thanks for sharing. I know there are a lot of gliders on the rc-sim.de site. Do all of them fly poorly as you suggest?
