trim rates; elevator, aileron

[Beta Sokol]

Hi,

in my opinion, the trim rates for aileron and elevator are a bit to high, once out of neutral trim i never find a good trim position, always going nose up / down, leveling wings may take the whole flight, my curvature settings are at 30 now.

I'd concur, they're slightly fast. Not too easy to trim elevator, but IIRC it's even less easy to trim aileron when you need to.
It's a bit of a pity IFE did control commands in the old hard-coded style, e.g. "iCommandPlaneSomething" - this prevents users from any fine tuning on their end.
In the Mosquito, for example, there are these newest fashion "value_down = X" commands where you can tweak X value to your own liking, e.g. slow down trim etc.

(I mean value_down = X commands were there in many modules before Mossie, but changing X did nothing. I think Mossie was the first one where it worked.)

Elevator is okay for me, but aileron trim definitely needs some finer tuning.

In my opinion the option to set trimming "speed" should be included in the core DCS. Something along the line with axis tuning: a slider to increase decrease trim application.

I agree!
The free MB-339 module had trim speed settings under special, so maybe we can "get it back"?

Yeah... that's my dream feature for DCS - each "button-driven axis" with speed adjustment slider of sorts. It's not only about trims, but also RPM levers for those who don't have axes for it, any sort of brightness/wingspan/elevation knobs up/down or whatever analog there is in the cockpit. I heard it's good to have dreams, so that's mine

Thanks for reporting, we are considering the introduction of a slider in special menu option for speed regulation for every user need.

Excellent news - pitch trimming is certainly a handful as it now stands.

@6S.Duke I 100% Agree! I do think bringing back that old feature from the Free MB-339 is worth while. I hope you can add it to your long list of priorities. it is a feature that all DCS Modules should be getting. 

Thanks for making the MB-339.. cheers.

I had a flight yesterday and roll trim appeardd to be too fast, almost impossible to bring it back to perfect centre using stick trim hat or - even worse - using keyboard binding (LCtrl+\ or Ctrl+,). I also looked for any trim centre, but did not find anything.

Any update on trim speed adjusting possibility or did I maybe miss something?

Thanks
