Config test errors
-
First - amazing piece of work thank you, and well worth the (painful) wait.
My only material issue so far is that I keep getting config test failures when taxying to r/w. I follow the checklists as best I can and once everything was fine. Certain it's me getting stuff wrong but it would really help if the system gave a clue as to which item I'd missed.....

Make sure trim in in the green range. Auto-setting the trim from pressing the CG % in the EFB will sometimes set the trim out of range.

JUST had this happen! EFB calculate 30.1 for pitch. That is out of the green range. Just pushed it barely back in-range and no alarm.

@haskell99 yeah I noticed the dodgy trim set - everything is green - I'm just taxying round EGNM like a nutter atm changing stuff and hitting test - every time I get the alarm...

Well. finally cleared the error...... For no particular reason, I dropped pax count from 70 to 50. First tried 10 and that gave a clear CG error in the EFB. Bumped up to 50 and bingo - peace and quiet. Really unclear why because trim seems the same as with 70.
Need to understand what was happening because this was the 3rd time today and I started with a default cold and dark state which gave me the fuel and pax.
Right - off to EGNT now assuming I haven't burned off all my fuel in the past 2 hrs :-)

I have finally found my error.... Not sure if this is a bug within the product.
So I have followed all tips and tricks and videos online including the three part (pre-release) that Just Flight did, which includes, selecting C/G to automatically adjust the T/O trim... I was randomly playing around with that and reduced it somewhat and that has appeared to fix my T/O config warning...
Not sure how much the EBF is synced with the actual aircraft but yeah...
-
I've noticed that I have to hit the auto-CG thing in the EFB twice sometimes. Have you guys noticed that? Usually the first click puts it way out of range and the second puts into something much more manageable.
-
That's not something that we've encountered but if it happens again then please post a screenshot showing the CG % SMC shown on the EFB and the pitch trim value shown on the centre console after you've used the EFB automatic trim clickspot.

I had it again this afternoon at EDDL - took me almost an hour to lose the config alarm. CG looked fine(ish) - pitch trim is always set to absolute bottom of the green and on some errors it helps to raise just a smidge into the green.
This afternoon it did not. Finally I found I needed to go 1 click right on the aileron trim. From the pilot seat it all looked good but from a central view it was the tiniest bit off centre.
This happened before I read this update so will get screens next time.

Yes - definitely aileron trim. At LOWI when I looked at the indicator itself it was spot on but the yellow marker on the adjuster was one click right. Moving that to centre cleared the alarm straight away although it made zero difference to the indicated trim.
