Trim issue with Warthog Stick

[Greg B]

I've mapped the elevator trim to the TMS hat on my warthog stick. Firstly, trim up and down seem to be reversed.

 

Secondly, as soon as I use the hat to alter trim, it keeps on feeding in more and more trim until it reaches the control surface limit. For example, one click of up trim and it stays in the trim up position, one click of the down trim and it stays in the trim down. There is no return of the hat on the VC joystick to neutral.

 

Anyone else have this issue? It affects both DCS 1.5 and 2.

Still having this issue even after updating to the newest build. Anyone else?

Not that I've experienced. You might want to try disabling force feedback support in the options menu, I think I've seen some references to this messing up trim for various aircraft.

 

As for up/down, they currently are described as 'Elevator Trimmer Switch - PUSH(DESCEND)' and 'Elevator Trimmer Switch - PULL(CLIMB)'. I don't recall any problems when I set them up.

 

In any event, "up" and "down" are weird descriptors for trim. Normally pushing the button up = "nose down" trim, to match pushing the stick forward.

If you are using Teamspeak, make sure that you have keyboard and mouse only selected under setting, options and hotkeys and not Default. Lower right corner, I was having the same issue with my X-55 and changing from Default to keyboard and mouse only solved that issue. TC
