The real A343 seems to land with more nose up trim set. Comparing the trim setting during landing to irl references will immediately show this.

Sim:

IRL: D-AIGZ | Airbus A340-313X | Lufthansa | Martin Nimmervoll | JetPhotos

D-AIGN | Airbus A340-313X | Lufthansa | Emil Zegnalek | JetPhotos

Will this be addressed in an upcoming update?

Please note that this issue is also present on the A350 and A330 Series.

Hi,

Thanks for your report. I will forward this to team for further review.

Thanks again!

I certainly hope the team doesn't change anything with the trim based on a few random photos. They don't convey anything about weight, fuel loaded, distance from threshold, thrust settings, prevailing winds, etc - to say nothing about the angle at which the photos were taken.

To say nothing of the fact in the 1st photo we don't know if it was taking off or landing and the 2nd one was taken on the ground! 😄

1st image was taken during landing (flaps) and second one prior to THS reset after landing. Feel free to check any A343 image during landing. The left side of the THS also features a ‘GND SET’ marking which is an excellent reference when comparing it to the inibuilds A340.

Furthermore, irl F/D footage shows the aircraft re-trimming for a few seconds after landing to re-establish the GND SET setting. This is not the case in the ini A340 as it lands which roughly that trim setting.

This behaviour has proven to consistently occur during landings in the ini A343. Not sure how weight, fuel loaded, and distance from threshold have an effect on the THS trim setting. I think it should largely depend on flap setting and CG, perhaps minor differences based on G/S angle and wind additive.
