Saitek trim wheel

[Vino]

Is there any way to make the saiteks trim wheel to work in DCS? It would be cool to use it to trim my Spitfire. :) I can see the wheel in the controller list, but can't assign it...

Since this trim wheel move very slowly, is difficult assign the axis by their movement, but is just matter of select the axis by name in drop down menu, like in this rudder example:

 

 

After click in "AXES TUNE" and test.

So it can be done? Superb. Thanks a lot. :)

You can use them but I think you'll find them too sensitive(1) and they seem to have a tiny bit of lag between moving the wheel and the control moving(2). This causes an "overshoot" every time you use it as you invariably go too far.

 

I ended up putting my trim (elevator and rudder) on the same hat switch. It takes a looong time to set the pitch for takeoff (1 notch down) from normal flight (about 2 up) but it's sensitive enough for much better speed control.

 

Rotaries for things like prop pitch and gunsight range adjust (P51), slider for Spit brakes.

Mine works fine now. Not too sensitive etc.

There's no lag in the Spitfire and Bf-109, but there is lag in the P-51 trim axis. I reported it ages ago but, well, not a high priority it seems.
