Cheers, Ian
I now have the thrust reversers working correctly.
Chris, I also found the trim to be very coarse on the earlier version, but is OK on V1.1 (better on V1.2, but I have other problems with that).
Have you completely uninstalled the earlier versions, prior to installing V1.1?
When it's working correctly, this is an awesome sim!!!
Cheers
Kevin

Hi Chris. There is a support forum for the panel on Avsim: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az= ... &forum=253
One of the FAQs explains the trim situation. But it also cropped up in an earlier question that the pitch on the B732 was usually adjusted by pressure on the yoke with the autopilot engaged (but the alt hold off). You'll find that the simulator emulates that and flies very smoothly and holds a descent or climb with very little adjustment other than gentle pressure on the yoke.
Other factors would be which aircraft you are flying. I find the Kittyhawk smoother than the Tinmouse. You will find optional aircraft.cfg and .air files for both aircraft. I have cobbled together my own FDE by using the unaltered Kittyhawk .air file provided with the Tinmouse panel but made a few changes to the aircraft.cfg. Using the basic KH .cfg provided with the Tinmouse, I replaced some of the flight sections with those from Philip Foglar's .cfg file which come with his repaints of the KH a/c. Namely: [contact_points], [forcefeedback], [airplane_geometry], [flight_tuning] and [brakes]. This does not affect the accurate engine performance but does make flying and landing smoother.
If you want to know anything else, have a look at the forum or you're welcome to ask me. I'm no expert but I've been following it since it came out and really enjoy it, so I'm happy to help others to discover it.
