I always thought that the duplicated binds were unnecessary because they didn't work for me either.
-
Are you referring to a specific aircrafts General key binds or the "General" General key binds?

I agree with you; however, how many virtual button presses happen when you tap the trim button once? Thus, causing the porpoise effect or hunting, while trying to fly straight and level. IRL, I'll use the F-4, F-15, and T-38 as examples, when you tap the trim button on the control stick the flight controls stop moving as soon as you stop pressing the button. It would appear that in DCS one physical press of the trim button equals three virtual presses of the DCS trim button. Not unlike the scroll button on your mouse that is normally configured to move three clicks for each actual click and you can adjust for less.

(This is an AI rewrite of our request). Introduction Currently, trim input in DCS—especially for pitch—is far too coarse for many aircraft. A single press can result in overly aggressive control surface movement, making it difficult to fine-tune level flight without excessive “hunting” through micro-adjustments. This behavior is frustrating and detracts from the overall realism and control fidelity. Why This Matters Enhances precision and aircraft handling for all modules, especially those lacking fly-by-wire or autopilot systems. Makes DCS more accessible to pilots with diverse control setups, including less sensitive HOTAS gear. Eliminates the need for workaround methods like .lua tweaks, which are reset by updates and require technical know-how. Aligns DCS more closely with professional-grade simulator standards. Proposed Solution Add an adjustable trim speed multiplier or step interval slider to the Controls > Miscellaneous tab or the Special tab for each module, allowing users to: Slow down the rate at which trim commands adjust control surfaces. Choose from preset trim rates or define custom values via a simple UI. Apply changes globally or per aircraft. Current Workarounds (and their drawbacks) Manual .lua Edits: Require technical knowledge, are not persistent through updates, and may break integrity checks. External Software Macros: Depend on specific hardware or software (e.g. TARGET, Virpil), adding complexity and limiting accessibility. Closing Statement Please consider implementing native trim speed adjustment in the Controls settings. It would significantly enhance the flight control experience and bring much-needed flexibility to pilots across all aircraft modules.

How do you check the devices for noise? -
Patiently waiting for its release.

Is there a way to enforce an affinity setting through an autoexec.cfg?

mkellytex was looking at the horizontal stabilators, not the tails. I used to find cracks at the base of the vertical tails due to tail flutter, and I'm sure they still do today.

Yes, I did.
