Beginner Question Please: TRIM

[rjsagel]

Hello,

 

Could someone please explain what TRIM is and how you use it?

 

My joystick maps it to a button and when I press it during my training flight (gunnery range mission) the vehicle goes "wild". I go into a climb or something I don't want to happen. I have a MS Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick.

 

I saw a little response to "false" the ForceFeedback. I tries this but I probably don't know what to expect!

 

Also, a small explaination of how the Autopilot works would also be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Cheers,

and put at least "Trim" in it.

If you have still questions left, after you have done your expertise, make your self heard again in this thread.

 

(:)no offence , but it is asked so many times in this forum. And it's answered so many times and in so much different flavours...)

I also had a lot of difficulty understanding Trim. Please note that is not only you input that is hold put also all your autopilot channels.
