Dispatch Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hey Guys, Is there a way to reset surface trims ? Thanks Again ~
mytai01 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 The FCS page on the DDI shows the position of all flight surfaces. You can set trim using that. MS Win7 Pro x64, Intel i7-6700K 4.0Ghz, Corsair RAM 16Gb,EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, w/ Adjustable RGB LED Graphics Card 08G-P4-6286-KR, Creative Labs SB X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Champ PCIe Sound Card, Corsair Neutron XTI 1TB SSD, TM Warthog Throttle & Stick, TM TPR Pedels, Oculus Rift VR Headset CV1, Klipsch Promedia 4.1 Speakers...
DDSSTT Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Cycling the Flaps Auto -> Half -> Full -> Half -> Auto, seems to reset the trim, you can do this very quickly. The flaps do not have to actually move to those positions for this to work. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/
jackdaw Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 There is a button on the LHS behind the throttles that reset trim to takeoff, the same as the A10C
=Mac= Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 No. The Reset FCS does not reset the trim to zero while flying. If you move the trim left or right, the only way to get it back to zero is to move the trim manually. If you are asymmetrical due to loadout, and you trim to level flight, then you drop some the loadout, your trim will still be set for the asymmetry. You need to retrim again. If you are asymmetrical and jettison all your stores, you must retrim manually, as well. This, I would imagine is a DCS Hornet bug. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

There is no way to reset the left / right trim other than manually trimming? Greetings, Nils :joystick: -- i7 4790k, RTX 2060, 16 GB RAM

Reads as if he was suggesting to press the T/O trim button, rather than the FCS reset button. Thanks Guys To the OP - the T/O trim button does reset the trim to even/level. Is it? There is no way to reset the left / right trim other than manually trimming? Even though it’s a year old thread - valid tool/tip = use T/O TRIM button. Cheers, Don (callsign Ziptie).
