Elevator trim

[Pokredde (POK)]

Hi,

 

Hope you guys can help?

I just bought the F-5 and have some major issues with the elevator trim.

 

I have mapped the keys, but when clicking the indicator goes all the way to either up or down (to it's max value).

It's not possible to make incremental adjustments and it's making the plane unflyable for me.

 

I have read somewhere that disabling "FFB"" and "Sync Hotas controls on mission start" should have helped others experiencing issues with the trim. Unfortunately it didn't help with the problem.

 

I'm using a Logitech joystick (without ffb) and no other controllers is plugged in to my pc.

I am using HOTAS Warthog (no FFB of course), mapped as well and no issues.

 

I guess it´s related to you "art of mapping", maybe via external Logitech software? Try mapping keys only with the ingame settings, check the action your joystick takes when you klick on trim up/down, maybe it detects your "klick" as an axis, maybe it´s set to "full up/down" on your joystick side.

 

A Logitech user may chime in and offer more help than me.

Thank you docWilly for your reply.

 

I'm embarresed to admit it, but I may have found the solution.

 

I was testing my new F-5 with Game Avionics turned on (yeah I know it :-/).

When turned of all of my problems disappeared.

I also had some problems with Nose Wheel Steering.

 

Now it's time to learn to fly this aircraft

Good to know your issue is gone. Happy flying.

Interestingly, since the latest DCS 2 update the P51D elevator trim keeps resetting itself. The trim wheel moves as it should but will then slowly roll back to where it was..in my case slight trim up.

Perfectly ok before the update this past weekend.

Any ideas?
