Saitek X52 Pro Trimming.

[Gunnergolly]

Hello all.

 

Im using the X52 Pro and have assigned the trim function to one of the HAT switches on my throttle.

 

When i try and trim the aircraft for level flight and i have the attitude/airspeed stabilised, im finding that one click of my pitch trim button is often just a little bit to much.

 

This just causes the aircraft to pitch up and down slightly as i can never seem to achieve pitch stability.

 

I was just wondering is there .LUA file that i can tweak/adjust to reduce the "in game" trimming rate slightly.

 

One press of my pitch button on my X52 = 1/2 current in game trimming effect would be nice and would allow me to fine tune easier.

 

Most of the time i just use the HDG/Altitude hold function, but it would be nice to be able trim "hands Off" easier.

 

I'm also finding that the other autopilot modes pitch hold/bank altitude hold at the moment just don't seem to be consistant. I'm hoping that their still WIP as they could be very useful.

 

I don't have a problem with trimming in the roll axis.

 

Excellent flight sim by the way ED.....:thumbup:

 

Thanks....

I have this same problem. Once I'm almost trimmed out, I typically engage EAC hold.

I seem to have a similar problem with using the trim button. However, I'm using the TM warthog so this problem I believe is game related, not controller related.

One workaround to fine tune trim is to use the trim button( "stick to trimmer control mode" in the options), hold the button and move the stick has a giant trim hat till the aircraft is stable.

Thanks for your replies.

 

I can't ever seem to trim the aircraft properly in pitch to achieve straight and level flight. Always seem to end up in a slight climb or descent and end up using the EAC hold instead.

 

I don't have access to my computer at the moment but i'll give the "stick to trimmer" a go and see how that works.

 

Do's the real A-10C have this mode, or is it just a feature of this sim ?...

 

I have'nt seen anything in the manual about this mode.

 

Cheers.....

I think, since in the real aircraft there always a mechanical linkage on the stick to the surface, this method of trim is not possible. Not sure.

 

It must be some legacy from older ED engines.

Another option could be to use the Saitek profile editor and manually change the length of trim time that each trim depress makes, thus making it less sensitive. I havent tried this but it may work.
