What exactly happens when the trim is adjusted to point the nose
upward?

What type of plane is this for? I have a Mooney and also fly a 182.
Both trim system are very, very different.

For sake of those of us who only own MSFS, let's say a C172.

Does MSFS emulate the servo tab on the elevator? What does it do when
you change the trim in the air?

Trying to emulate real life trim on a simulation system that uses
spring centered control sticks isn't going to work like real life as
you may already know.

Should I post the spoiler on how a couple other mechanisims work
(besides servo tabs)?

I'll raise you one to make three additional trim systems. Any more?

I can think of four for a total of five, depending on whether you'd
consider hydraulic centering to be the same as a bungee trim system.
theothersa re of course, a tab system which is th emost common light
aircraft system. the trimmable stab, a'la Cub and most airliners and the
vane, like some early T-carts had.. There're probably some others, but i
can't think of any.


I'd count that as the same -the acutuating system doesn't count, just
the aerodynamic priciples. So, if you have four I'll raise you again
one to make five... Any raise on five basic methods?

Cheers
