    Hi there.


    I'm starting my PPL (in a Cessna) and, as I was flying the 172 in Aerofly for some training, I noticed that the trim wheel moves the elevator, and not the elevator trim tab, as it should. Since the trim tab is clearly present in the geometry, is this a bug?

    The geometry should also move I hope?

    Because the trim in the real world in flight moves the whole elevator as an effect of the aerodynamic forces we simply add that offset at all times. The trim tab should deflect in the opposite direction though, does it not do that?

    Regards,

    No. For example, when trying on the ground, if I rotate the trim wheel, it's the elevator that moves, and not the trim tab

    Hi.
    Just noticed that, in this last update, the C172 received some cool updates. Was this issue also fixed?

    I don't think this fix was added yet.

    Ok, thanks for the information. I haven't had the chance yet to try the new update

    Would (trim tab movement ONLY) when stopped really be that important?

    Edited once, last by Overloaded: put ( ) in (December 20, 2023 at 4:47 AM).

    Trim tab movement is not only when it is stopped...
