Values for ELEVATOR_TRIM_PCT in GF-46 Display

pedroaab

Hello,

I saw one discussion about that from 2015, but I couldn't find a solution. I'm trying to set up a command in GF-46 module to change and display the elevator trim position in my PMDG NGX (I'm using Prepar3D v3). It does work for changing the position, but the values shown in GF-46 display are not the same to the values shown inside the virtual Cockpit. It would be very helpful to see the correct values in GF-46.

I imagine that the values shown in GF-46 are values sent from the simulator and they correspond to different values in PMDG, but those values are converted for some reason. Is there any correction to apply? If necessary, I wouldn't mind to increase the step size between the values in order to synchronize the display with PMDG, if it helps in some way (I just don't know how to do it).

Thanks!

I have had a look and it seems that the PMDG SDK does not provide the value for trim. I would suggest contacting PMDG to request if the data could be added to the SDK.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer!

I will try that.

If I change the trim, the values change at the display (even being wrong values), where do those values come from?

Thanks!

They are coming from simconnect/aircraft model. PMDG are not using that trim data for the stabiliser - its either some math on the trim data or a separate variable which they do not provide in the SDK.

I found it. It is the ELEVTRIMTT LVar.

Thanks!
