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

Yeah, they;re essentially the same.

Go on. I'll call.

Should'nt we wait to see if there's any other raise?

What does MSFS have to do with anything. This is a pilot news group,
not sim. There are sim groups out there that would be more appropriate
for your question.

MSFS was the means by which I discovered the mechanism.

If I had learned in actual aircraft, the question still would have
been relevant.
