Crashdown2 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I noticed that there are two trim command sets, one for the stick and one for the wheel on the left panel. I have the trim hat set on the hotas and the trim wheel is left alone on the keyboard commands, however when I used the trim hat, the wheel moves as well, even though it's not assigned to it. Is this normal? Could this be our trimming problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Sabre05 Posted November 12, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 12, 2022 I believe the wheels and the trim hat are linked so I think that is normal behavior. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieMuntz Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just as an aside to this, i have gotten into the habit of editing the default stick and keyboard controls .lua to change the manual trim wheel values from 0.3 to 0.1, its around the line 800, then mapping my actual stick trim hat on to the trim wheel rather the cockpit stick, this gives you much finer control of the trim as you surfaces move less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Wheels in the real jet are not motorized, they don't move when the stick trimmer is actuated. This is why there are trim indicators next to them, to show the actual trim value, which is the combination of wheel and switch trim inputs.

EddieMuntz Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Quicker if you just save a copy of the .lua file for keyboard default and defualt joystick and replacing them after each update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Seems overcomplicated for such a simple part. Do you have docs confirming that, or speaking from personal experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolas_A Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The first place to look for answers is the manual! The -1 says about the TRIM/AP DISC Switch: DISC Deenergizes stick TRIM button, prevents autopilot engagement and ATF/autopilot blending, and deactivates trim motors (manual trim wheels still operative) Plus, Lightning on Viperpits has opened up a real one. The photo links are dead but I have them saved somewhere. The flight control system is the most vital in the a/c. There's nothing simple about it...
