Hallo!
I've got some questions about the (real) 777.
As we know, the 777 is using a fly-by-wire system for flight control.
But is it an Airbus-like system where the inputs of the yoke are sent to a computer, are calculated/modified and thereafter sent to the control surfaces where they indirectly move them (vertical inputs result in a change of vertical acceleration, horizontal inputs result in a change of the roll rate)?
Or is it a "conventional" system where the yoke inputs (are sent to a computer and are calculated but) directly move the control surfaces?
And what about the elevator/stabilizer trim? In FG I've recognized that pushing/pulling the yoke also slightly changes the stabilizer trim (which is in some situations quite handy but sometimes ruins a nice and steady descend/climb). Can that auto-trim be disabled?
Is it just a bug in FG or is a 777 really equipped with automatic stab/pitch trim (like an Airbus)?
BTW: Why are on Boeing planes always double trim knobs and double alternate trim knobs/levers?
Yeah, i know, lots of questions ...
As always I'm looking forward to your help and thx in advance
