Thanks for the clarification and potential fix! Will Heatblur consider adding a trim animation to the trim hat on the stick? This visual cue is the best acknowledgement that trim inputs are taking place.

 

 

I'll ask, I think it was intended anyway, but don't take my word for it please, I have to double check.

"trim animation to the trim hat on the stick" - oh yeah, very much welcomed feature, widely modeled even in FC3 aircraft.

 

 

On my HOTAS 8-way hat needs quite a move from the thumb - certainly not possible to move it accidentally to the skewed positions, there you feel the additional click anyway.

 

 

One thing to remember - when you fail to trim down you can always roll over - not wait for the stall or going unnecessarily high. I did forget this too :thumbup:

ok guys, the trim hat animations are already in the works. no promise to when we will finish them (other things might earn a higher priority), but they have always been intended to come. :-)

 

Nice, thanks IronMike. Will be a handy addition. Currently I just use the actual stick movement as a check for trim operation - which is obviously a bit course and less than ideal.

 

On the topic of stick animation - any word on re-positioning of the stick more rearwards as default? I note it seems an awful long way forward at neutral trim, and you get about 1" of fwd movement till the 3d stick model 'hits' the instrument panel, but stick movement actually continues. But hey this might be as per the RL aircraft.

In any case - I imagine this would do wonders for better visibility of the repeater screen also.

I remember it being reported and affirmed, so it's a bug - and quite important one.

stick position is known, hopefully we will get to it soon.

 

 

Great to hear, thanks. Yes it seems the 10 units nose up trim stick position is almost a better default position.
