Aircraft Trim Gazehound I think my stick is even older than yours. I don’t have rudder. I use separate CH rudders. This stick would be maybe 5 years old. Seems like the end. Rick As an afterthought, the keys that I’ve assigned to the joystick work perfectly. For some unknown reason, the “trim” feature is totally disabled when the joystick is activated. Put this one in the file marked ”What the..”. Thanks all for your assistance Snake

Aircraft Trim Thanks Ironhand, You were on the money with that. Although I’m a bit perplexed as to why, only the trim was affected by the Logitech joystick, when all other controls and buttons on the joystick work as assigned. I checked further, and even un-assigning trim controls(default - WiN hat) on the joystick, failed to get the trim on the keyboard work. Puzzling. Good call though. As a matter of interest, what joystick are you using? many thanks Snake

Aircraft Trim thanks IK Yep. Im afraid no amount of assigning of keys, joystick buttons or hat switches works the "trim", for me at least. Been trying several combinations today. No idea why. So Ill just have to battle on regardless. Everything else works fine. My landings will just have to be a bit on the rough side. What doesnt kill you, make you stronger. Never mind... happy flying Snake

Aircraft Trim IK Thanks for your suggestions. I guess Ill have to wait and see there is some sort of patch perhaps. Anyways, enjoying the game since it came out. The guys developing the game have done well, and apart from my small issues of trim I just love it. thanks Snake

Aircraft Trim IguanaKing Sure do buddy. Its an older Logitech Wingman FF but all the buttons work. Fact I use the buttons for aircraft lock, flares , airbrakes etc so the old think works ok. It all works on FS9 so I dont believe its a joystick problem. I might add Ive also set trim via the hat but that doesnt work as well, again compounding the ellusive trim delima. cheers Snake

Aircarft Trim Hi Rich, Ive watched a lot of your vids. Excellent instruction, and great work. I miss the earlier vids on in-flight refueling and carrier landing. which wont play in FC 1.11. However in reference to what you were saying, I had the aircraft in(relatively) level flight via thrust and joystick input. Now in theory if I trim the aircraft positively or negatively the aircraft "should" do either - accend or decend. And I should also be able to trim for level flight vs thrust setting. Whats happening in my case, is absolutely nothing. All flyable aircraft seem to only react to thrust or joystick input. I cannot trim the aircraft at all. I should be able to trim for landing with say "positive" trim, to maintain a nose high approach, and provided I maintain the correct thrust, decend at a rate I want it too. At the moment I cannot get the program to accept "trim". Snake

Aircraft Trim Thanks Grazehound I wasnt aware of the trim lights in the MiG. I ran a flight to test this. I used the default key settings for up-down first, then changed assignments to other keys to make sure. The center light did go out, but even after numerous(and I mean numerous) key presses the aircraft continued to climb or decend depending on the thrust settings only, which then could only be corrected by joystick input. Unfortunately this increases the workload, particularly in areas of landing and ground attack(especially with the Frog T). I dont think this is a hardware problem as other keys were used with no effect. Snake

Hello all Im not sure if this is a bug, but I am unable to trim any aircraft. Ive tried default settings and tried setting other keys including my joystick. Ive reinstalled and patched to 1.11, however none seem to work. thanks for any ideas Snake
