FS2020 - AP trim issues

Sck1048 · Sep 23, 2020

I see many others asking similar questions but can't tell if the recent patch fixed this issue for them. Not for me.

Here's my problem: with increasing recurrence, when I turn on AP the elevator trim goes to 100 on Cessna G1000. On Pipistrel trim issues are with roll and possible rudder. Plane becomes uncontrollable under AP, and sometimes elevator trim has gotten stuck
at 100 too. This really looks like bug triggered by AP in trim surfaces.

To summarize:

- Only happens when AP is turned on

- Doesn't happen always or instantly, but I've noticed it's become more common (at least 90% of times now)

- Elevator trim affected in Cessna, roll/rudder in Pipistrel. I've not tested in other plan

I've tried changing control bindings in multiple ways, and even disabling all trim surface controls in bindings. Issue persists.

Same here, you are not the only one

Think its a bug. If I adjust the trim, AP and NAV before cruising the trim goes bananas.

I have now uploaded a video focusing on this issue, it shows me trimming the clips and the issues leading after that, I would hope if someone could watch it and give me some help related to the issue so I can fully trim this clip without any errors occuring,
thanks

After examining your video, and looking at it from my console, The "Trim" option you have available on that bar, isn't available in my app strangely. Not sure why that trim option is there, have you checked to see if the Xbox DVR has been updated recently?

Alternatively (as a work around) to trim your clip, you can "edit in Upload Studio" which will allow you trim the clip in that app (Simply pushing the left stick to move the starting point, and the right stick to move the ending
point) and will allow you to save and upload the trimmed clip to xbox or onedrive as well.

It helped me and its working perfect. You need to tweak here and there, but hey, we are talking an almost 10 year old joystick here! It does the job and I enjoyed FS2020 as it should be.

For those that say that the joystick does not "reset" and does not keep the plane "leveled", well some people called it physics and its part of flying. try the autopilot or if flying the Cessna; try the trims.

Thanks a lot for the post. I rescue a joystick from a closet.

Hi

Have you hooked up your PC to the AP because this won't be an Xbox issue , as far as the Xbox is concerned it will be connected wired (to your AP), if you can get your PC working with the AP via Ethernet then the Xbox should work also
