cashman Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hi, currently we have the only option of assigning trim controls to button presses. (Which is more realistic by the way.:)) But this also makes the use of trim controls on the Logitech G940 nearly impossible. So I wish we had the ability to assign trim controls as axis as well as button presses.Best regards.

There is a button press that functions in the same way that the one in Black Shark did. It works by holding the stick at neutral, pressing and holding the keyboard buttons while you move the stick to the desired position that makes the aicraft fly straight and level. Once that is done, you can release the buttons and the aircraft will hold the adjustment made by the stick as a trim input. Not sure if that helps you or not...
cashman Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks Rainmaker, I knew that BS has something like that but I was not aware that A10 has one. While that solution partially solves the issue, actually my wish is to be able to use the trim wheels on G940 thus free one of the hats to assign more controls. Nevertheless, thanks for the heads up, I learned stg new. :) Regards. AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 Ghz, 16Gb 1333 DDR3, Ati 2 Gb 6950, Logitech G940, TM Cougar MFD, Saitek Yoke and other GA stuff....
Dimebag1 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 AFAIK, the a-10c doesn't use rotaries for trimming, it uses a hat switch. Additionally, I have found in fc2 that using the rotaries on the stick base of the g940 is more difficult to trim for straight and level flight than using the hat. Thirdly, it is not possible to trim using the rotaries on the stick while flying with both hands on, which means it is very difficult to fly and trim at the same time, which is the reason we use a hotas in the first place, so we can maintain control of the aircraft while manipulating essential systems such as the trim. I suggest you use a hat switch, I use the d pad on the stick. If you haven't already check out red's g940 profile in the controller section of a-10c tech support. It is almost perfect for this stick.

cashman Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Dimebag hi, I concur on your points and actually I use one of the hats on the G940 to trim the AC currently. On the down side is, since with G940 has one hat less against a replica like TM Warthog :) At the end what I'd like to have is an option to trim using axis so that one of the hats are freed for other HOTAS uses.

chirp65 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 What about the BS and Rotories of the Throttle Hi All, Maybe you can help me here because it's those Rotories on the G940 Throttle that are giving me the trouble in BS. I installed the G940 control setup via the BS's controller system after downloading it from the web. Someone was offering their G940 profile for BS but they didn't go through the Logitech Profiler. They did it all through the BS Control setup system and I just dragged and dropped the 3 controller profiles in place. Apparently my R1 and R2 Rotory switches of my Logitech G940 Throttle control are connected to the view operation inside the cockpit which lets me look up & down, (R2) and left & Right, (R1). I can actually roll 360 degrees in either direction if I wanted to. I liked that until I found that the slightest motion of the throttle will activate the R-wheels and move my POV all over the place. Is there any way to 'desensitize' those 2 switches? If not, I'd like to assign at least one to zoom in and out if possible. I don't know how to disengage either one or I would because that would at least improve my situation. I can't fly because everything jumps around sporadically just as I take off. Neither switches show up in the BS controls setup. So does anyone know how to at least stop those R switches from applying any input?
