[NO BUG]Elevator & Rudder Trims Stopped Working

[ChuckIV]

Using STABLE version. Been a DCS customer for 5 years now. After a REPAIR and CLEAN today to try fixing a 3-monitor issue, I noticed my elevator and rudder trims no longer work. Everything else seems to work fine.

 

They show as working in the adjust controls section as well as in flight (trim wheels rotate in cockpit). They also show the trim tabs moving on the elevators and rudder in chase view. However, they do not effect the actual aircraft in any way. I'm stuck in a state of too much up-trim. The plane climbs continuously.

 

This happens to both my Spitfire and Mustang by the way.

 

Anyone have this ever happen to them??? If so, what was the fix?? I await your replies, and thanks!!

Still No Luck w/Trims

 

Tried uninstalling my Desktop Aviator trim wheels and reinstalling them on the computer.

 

Tried clearing the adjust controls settings for the trim wheels and reassigning them.

 

Tried mapping different keys to the elevator and rudder trims - did not work - trim wheels in cockpit do turn - but no effect.

 

Tried to reinstall Spitfire and Mustang modules - did not work.

 

Mustang aileron trims don't work either.

 

Everything works EXCEPT trims. Any ideas anyone???

When last time I had exactly same thing happening (and many other guys too), two years ago or so, the culprit was having any FFB controller device plugged to the computer, even if this device was not assigned to trimming function in any aircraft. The bug was quickly confirmed and fixed back then, but maybe it's here again.

Hi

 

Can you attach a short track replay showing this happen and your dcs log

 

We will look for clues and investigate,

 

It does seem to be working fine for me.

 

My advice would be to start with fresh control bindings and test again

 

go to C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\SpitfireLFMkIX

 

rename the aircraft folder, for example

 

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\SpitfireLFMkIXbackup

 

restart dcs and map new controls and test.

 

let us know how you get on

 

thanks

Get a load of this, it was all caused by reloading DCS stable version. Reloading all my modules. Then NOT realizing that I was stuck in GAME FLIGHT MODE !!! That's all it was. Unclick this little box, and all trims work fine. Good one to remember.
