Trimming the viper
-
Wow, I knew the 1g thing, but the gear/aar hold pitch was new to me. I only thought that Inputs are handled softer
Its fun to play with. And its also the biggest reason for pilot induced oscilation because they dont know that increasing power means they start climbing as well because aoa decreases .
Handy to know at least if you’re trying to refuel mid air

Well if you didnt know that than you should also know that when gear is down or aar door is open the jet auto trims to hold pitch instead of G. It will do this wether you are inverted or right side up

it holds pitch down to 11 deg AOA where AOA is blended to push nose down

Good morning.All,
While we’re on the subject, how about the Hornet?mode simplification “on”:
In flap Auto , FLCS is a G command, trimmed to 1G , with AOA feedback , pitch rate feedback and adaptative Glimiter
in Flap full or half, FLCS is a AOA command, trimmed to trim AOA, with AOA feedback and Pitch rate feedback (not implemented in 4.33)

- is this information in the flight manual (BMS Dash-1)? I’ve read most of the docs but I don’t recall this.
Most probably here : https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?45-documentation

Thanks Dee-Jay, I will look into these additional resources!

part 5 “pushing the limits” is not here anymore ?

Are the real guys using the AP as well for their climbs? I have been wondering about that….
Cheers, Uwe

You would think they would. I mean, as the jet autotrims to a optimal 1 gee, shouldn’t you at least get a bit of added fuel economy?

Careful with that logic
In a climb or descent, 1g in the cockpit means you are rating the nose instead of climbing at a steady angle.

Like one of the ones above said when I dont use AP i usually trim for my initial climb out to STP2
