• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Context: im working with an IL-62M, modern flight model, my goal is to make it fully native, im working on other stuff for the native conversion.
But problem is, I cannot figure out what to change in flight_model.cfg to fix this issue
At takeoff, ~160-200 knots, 5±2° AOA, I have to use 55%-78% trim to maintain AOA when setting elevator to neutral, it should only require 0-2 at max 5% trim, what should I change?
And at even higher airspeeds, like climb (~260knots) requires 85%+ trim, and at cruise (460knots) 100% sometimes doesn't suffice

I will add video(s) once I get on my pc
 
You have to move the CG a lot more to achieve a noticeable affect. Btw. the IL62 needs a lot of nose up trim during take off and landing IRL. Check the extreme stabilizer angle on the various photos/videos.
 
Would -20 do?
Also I know about the trim, but Max is ~10% in worse case scenario, and it shouldn't require trim at higher airspeeds
 
Why only -10%? I've flown planes IRL where you can run out of trim during normal ops, in both directions. Since CG varies a lot with loading, trim is required most of the time, regardless of speed.
 
Using another plane from a flightsim game for a comparison with a real plane, doesn't make much sense.
Furthermore the A320 and the 747 are very different designs.
E.g. increasing thrust on the A320 and the 747 pushes the nose up, and on the IL62, it pushes the nose down.
Have you ever seen one of these with such a steep stabilizer angle like the IL62?
 
yea, good point, I havent seen the IL-62 IRL, only on some videos and images
and now in the sim, so the 55% during takeoff, and even more at cruise is normal?
 
During takeoff this doesn't sound too far off, but the trim requirement should reduce a lot with increasing speed.
 
Ignoring your trim (set it to 0*)... can your aircraft fly level at speed? How much nose-up or nose-down is necessary to fly at speed and hold altitude?
 
I haven't made it that far, more than 100% nose up trim tho at cruise speed (460 knots), cuz qt 100% it doesn't maintain AOA
I did however move the cog behind to -10.0, moved the stations around a bit, and changed the model's base position (using MCX), I'll text tomorrow
