Trim surface animations reversed.

NOT A BUG

 

Trim tab animations are reversed. Airplane on the picture is trimmed nose heavy, to the left and with the flaps in landing position.

 

But:

 

Left aileron trim tab looks like I'm trimming to the right.

Left elevator trim tab looks like nose heavy (it should be tail heavy with the flaps extended)

Right elev. trim tab looks like tail heavy, so the opposite of what's selected.

The animations are correct. Think of the trim tabs as flying their respective control surfaces rather than the entire airplane - aileron trim tab down means the aileron itself will be deflected up. The right elevator trim tab follows the same logic. The left elevator tab, however, is deflected down with landing flaps selected regardless of trim. This is how it works in the real jet.

Yeah actually, also now that I found pictures of L-39 in landing config where the surfaces are deflected just like in DCS, it's apparent that my brain is actually reversed. So no bug here.
