Trim control

FYI, this post provides a solution to the oversensitive trim commands -- just drop the gain by half.  Tested just now and it's much more manageable now.

Actually I didn't have rudder trim bond into my HOTAS so I did. It made no difference for elevator trim which is my original problem and the little bit of aileron that was also off it had no effect on too. You mentioned you can go a minute without input after slight trimming….impressive! Mine is not at all! therefore my original problem exists. I see the trim tabs moving but constant stick input required to maintain level flight (no speed increase or engine changes invoked).

I Have the same probrelm with P-47 Elevators trim...
Someone told me that this problem is because my Force Feedback 2....

I hope this gets implemented in an “official” update.

 

I hate clicking a button for up trim… letting the nose rise… and then clicking a button to down trim and watching the nose lower…constantly….. I can never trim it nice and steady… always little micro movements… ever so slightly porpoising my way across the channel!

I made this tweak and really like how it makes the trim much more manageable.  I was actually able to get my Jug dialed in short order, and had some nice flights.  great post!

Once more a difficulty encountered because of too sensitive coding of this simulation.

It's great but sometimes disturbing.

You have to aknowledge what happens.
Before all remember that when you push a trim in any direction,you make the bird unstable and have to redo your settings.
Keep in mind that any change has an impact on stability.
I don't want to make offense nobody while saying what following.
While pushing rudder or trim rudder to left or right,you make a wing faster and the other slower and create inducted roll.

Thus you will loose your level.
Even if you let your rudder trim while thinking that it's right,maybe your aircraft is flying crabbing in the relative wind.

Thus one wing is faster than the other and your plane is unstable.
Check out your trim in flight to get the needle ball centered.Checkout your trim position.

Once done you may change the elevators trim.
You will see a more comfortable flight,and this is available with all ww2 modules.

Until I starting managing the trim better, meaning adjusting it endlessly(!), I found the P-47 to be pretty unenjoyable. It felt like I was flying a piece of tissue paper being thrown around in a breeze. With micro-managing, if you want to call it that, it's much more pleasant to fly.

 

 

I have it set on the bottom thumb four-way on my HOTAS throttle. Quick and easy at least.

Perhaps you've been able to correct this issue.  I had the same problem with various aircraft, trim was too sensitive in all directions.  I read a post elsewhere regarding the Force feedback switch found in the misc. menu settings.  By default, this is checked, I unchecked this setting and all my issue disappeared.  I only bring this up now as I'm new to DCS (this year) and just found the discussion under the A-10 forum as I was having the same issue trying to figure out why the A-10 would bounce up and down/ left and right. 

Again, if this is resolved for you, please excuse the interruption.  If not, perhaps you can give it a try.

I had the same problem with various aircraft, trim was too sensitive in all directions for the P-47/A-10/Spitfire.  I read a post elsewhere regarding the Force feedback switch found in the misc. menu settings.  By default, this is checked, apparently, this is active regardless of whether a force feedback device is attached.  I unchecked this setting and all my issue disappeared.  I only bring this up now as I'm new to DCS (this year) and just found the discussion under the A-10 forum as I was having the same issue trying to figure out why the A-10 would bounce up and down/ left and right.

Dropping the gains to 1/2 feels great! That’s the way it should be!
