View hat to trim and back.

[bC3660]

I would like to use the "paddle switch" to set the View Hat switch on the stick to AC trim then switch it back to view mode. I need detailed instructions on how to do this. I have tried to figure it out my self but cant seem to get it right. Thanks

In Controls options, open the A-10C controls list, bottom left is a modifiers button, click that, select Joystick from the drop down list and hit the paddle (joystick Button 4) to set it as a modifier,

 

Now go to the trim control under joystick, click the box to enter a button, and while holding the paddle press the hat direction you want to use as the trim

Assuming you know what "modifier" keys are I will provide an example:

 

The hatswitch on your stick has 4 or 8 directions, set them by default as the view. Now to set the trim in the control settings use for example "Left CTRL + hatswitch left" to trim left, "Left CTRL + hatswitch right" to trim right. Same for Up and Down. Now the result of this is that if u hold down L CTRL while using the hatswitch you will trim the a/c. If u dont hold LCTRL then it will act as the view hat.

You can set modifier keys to whatever u want, so u can actually use a button on your stick as a modifier.

 

I hope i was clear and that it helps.
