What causes the TB-3 loss of direction change?

[stugumby]

Was trying to rebuild some old missions and the TB-3 can't do course adjustments when looking through the bombsight anymore. Any idea what causes this and is there a work around until the next patch?

how do you make course adjustments in previouse version? as far i know there was no trimmer on TB-3 and i always make course dirrection shortly disable level stab give some rudder and switch on level stab again.. on TB-3 mostly make course adjustments by throttle by right or left motors.

Since the TB-3 had no trimmer, I have found the same work around as you to make fine adjustments using engine power. I normally set power to 90 or 95% depending on the model, and then select engine 1 or 2 to slightly change, or maintain, my course by increasing or lowering power by 5% on the selected engine. I also trim all the way up to try to maintain altitude as best as I can but that eliminates the possibility of using heavy bombloads and full fuel tanks.

The TB-3 has a trimmer for the horizontal stabiliser.

in 4.13.4 i haven't it on TB3 ... or what i miss?

[Sita]

i just check three version of TB3 on 4.12.2 and 4.13.4 and don't find rudder or aileron trimmers ...

yes Altitude trimmer we got on TB3 like it was before ... but i don't remember rudder trimmer on TB3 with old variant of bombsight.

I have no special or nodded settings,I checked 4122 and 4134 both stock and SAS MODACT versions and had old sight and rudder trim. 4141 stock with 512 exe new sight, no rudder trim for TB-3. In settings my realistic bombing light is on. All other bombers it works. Was something tweaked in flight model when sfs files were merged??

There never was a rudder trim for the TB-3 in IL-2. I've done a quick check on both 4.07 and 4.13.4 installs, and there is only pitch trim for both TB-3 models. I have also checked the TB-3's original manual and there is only an elevator trim control. (https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/thread...3-manual.5423/ at page 60)

Well,ive had that ability so i will agree to disagree. another interesting thing is the ability to go to external view and use rudder left right keys, not rudder trim. the rudder responds, go into bomb sight view and now you cant use rudder left right etc.
