New FFB Elevator Trim is Backwards

[GTFreeFlyer]

I know this was recently mentioned in another thread, but M3 asked for one issue per thread, so here it is:

As mentioned already by another user, I also confirmed in a quick test just now that the new FFB elevator trim, implemented in the latest patch, is backwards on my Moza AB9 as well.  If I pull the hat switch down and towards me, the stick moves forward and my aircraft dives....and vice versa.

I'm glad to see FFB trim implemented, so that's a step in the correct direction before early access ends, it just needs a -1 multiplier at the moment.

I'm still unable to provide a track file, even after updating and running a repair.  I'm not sure what's going on with that.

Thanks!

Just chiming in to confirm the same on a VPRhino FFB base.  Trimming nose-up will trim the aircraft nose up, but the stick pushes forward/away from the pilot instead of back/towards them.

Just go into the FFB settings and invert the axis. On my trusty old MS SW FFB2 I have to swap axis on all my modules.

Cheers!

Make sure, that if you have to invert axis, you do it in the MOza driver, not in the sim. That's important for all FFB-devices.

Not true. We don't have that option on the MS FFB2.

Not sure that will work. My elevator axis is correct. My elevator trim is assigned to key bindings and is on a hat switch.  I think the trim is working correctly if I force the stick to stay in the center position. But if you let go of the stick so that it finds its new position, it moves in the opposite direction intended by the trim.

When you press the trim button. Does the stick move in the correct direction? If not, you do as Hiob says and fix it in the software. Else you do as I say and invert the FFB axis in DCS. Hiob is probably correct as you probably use telemetry DCS does not know about. I forgot about that.

That‘s the problem. Moza (and Rhino, from which Moza copied the basis for their software) use Non-Directx telemetry. When you swap axis‘ around outside the FFB software, the input and effects direction can become misaligned.

Yeah, I forgot about that in my first post. But then I understood what you meant.
