Can not trim Spitfire nose down

[Xeon]

I have been flying the Spitfire recently and I cannot seem to make it stay level. I am applying full nose down trim and I cannot seem to get it to keep its pitch level. I have checked the pitch axis on my joystick and it is fine and I have played with the curvature on the axis to no effect. Any help would be much appreciated:thumbup:.

Is the trim indicator and the trim knob moving?

If not, check your keybindings

Thanks yeah both the indicator and the trim wheel are moving I have tried a reinstall of the module to no effect also.

Hi,

 

A reinstall of a module does not overwrite the settings under C:\Users\ xxx \Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\Input\MODULExyz

 

Make screenshots from your axis-settings / Joystick - keyboard commands

Save the folder C:\Users\ xxx \Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\Input\Spitfire

Delete the folder C:\Users\ xxx \Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\Input\Spitfire

 

Start DCS and configure your axis and the necessary Joystick - keyboard commands for testing your problem

 

If this does not solve your problem, you can copy back C:\Users\ xxx \Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\Input\Spitfire

First of all you should reset input settings to the original. You should rename or delete folder with user input settings (C:\Users\User_Name\Saved Games\DCS[Open Alpha, Beta]\Config\Input), then launch the game, open control settings, configure your input settings again and click “Ok”. After that a new user folder with current settings will be created

If you use a MSFFB2 joystick, it is necessary in setting the FFB to confirm the swap axis.

Thanks for your help sadly didnt work. I am sure it is something with my controls though as I tired it with no engine power and it will still violently nose up

Just to make sure, your flaps and the gear is up?

[Xeon]

Quick update I forgot to check the control indicator. It says my elevator axis is off centered any idea how to fix it again many thanks.

Provisionally curve Y should look similar as shown.

Nose trimmed down but stick is always pulled. On ground and in air too.

All other modules works fine.

You probably have "game flight mode" turned on in gameplay options. Warbird trims are animated but non-functional in such case. You need to go full simulation mode to be able to use them.

I have full simulation mod enable.

Maybe a double binding on your pitch axis?

[Art-J]

Double binding or not, the plane should react correctly to trim inputs if game flight mode is really off and non-FFB joystick is used (as in this case allegedly).

@unmar Post a short in-flight replay track so that we can take a closer look at what happens.

[Tzigy]

double binding most likely... using axis or buttons for trim?

check your elevator binding/input, brakes, trim wheel etc

have TM Warthog as well, no issues

[unmar]

Solved! The problem was double binding - virtual joystick, VJOY app (without any output). Thank you all
