luckyluca Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Hello, I found a trim button hold assignment and was wondering if it would be a good candidate as a replacement for the 4ways trim switch. but how does the trim yoke button work? I would assume I would have to press and hold while correcting to keep level flight and slowly center the yoke and then release the button. Is this right? Luca Simultools
Le0kong Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 It's been a long time i don't use that method, but from what i remember when you hold that button down, the stick becomes like a giant trim hat, after you trim you release the button. It's not realistic, but if you want to save a hat.

luckyluca Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 thanks for the reply, hmmm I'm not convinced by it. In the worst case scenario I'll just map two buttons up and down, I've never found much use for the lateral roll.

luckyluca Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 g940 and thrustmaster mfds. I'm quite happy with the g940 but I've got this crush for the warthog.. but I've recently upgraded my PC so I'm not sure I can afford the new warthog/rudder pedals combo purchase over the fine running g940.

Succellus Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Cant you with the g940 have multiple layers ? I know absolutely nothing off the 940 It could solve your lack of buttons. Don t think warthog don t need to be programed, at least for some. The warthog comes with the "plane" programation but as pilots have much more buttons. I renaming a 3 switch button to U/M/D switch and adding programation. Think thank your G940 before plunging for the warthog, but if you can t resist lol...plunge fot it, but as you know you will have extra cost on the rudders.

Once you start dropping ordnance and get wings unbalanced, sure you'll miss that roll trim controls
luckyluca Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) you've got a point, never needed to trim asymmetrically loaded planes until now :) anway what rudders would you suggest if I went along with the warthog? saitek pro rudder or combat rudder or.. else? probably the combat rudders would be a hair too expensive since the saitek pro rudder is half the price.

luckyluca Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 ok I took the plunge! went for the warthog plus saitek rudders (the old model for half the price of the new ones). If anybody is looking for a g940 in excellent conditions I'm now selling one :P Simultools
