Using Virpil Encoder for Trim on Spitfire

[dburne]

Just really getting into DCS WWII with the Spitfire. Now that I have Point CTRL I decided I wanted to see how I like DCS WWII ( have always used the other one for that). I love cold starts.  Plus the Corsair is coming with carrier ops who can resist that? Love my carrier ops in Hornet.

Anyhoo I discovered something kind of cool yesterday. I know Virpil Encoders can be somewhat limited on functionality, but I have found they give me finer adjustment of my trims than assiging trims to regular hat buttons do. Spit is very, very sensitive on that elevator trim. Getting that thing trimmed for level flight at a certain speed, well it can be a challenge. I put it on one of my Virpil CM3 throttle encoders ( in additon to hat button) so now I have at my fingertrip a way to trim finer adjustments with the encoder. For more course trim like when first trimming the aircraft after takeoff I just use my hat button I have assigned as it works it quicker.
