noob can't trim?

[truebrit]

I have assigned the trim buttons to a hat switch on my X52 and i can see the trim on the cockpit stick move when i press them so i know they're assigned properly but they seem to have no effect on the plane? What am i missing?:joystick:

If you "hold" the trim button, do you see the in-game stick move in any direction?

No, just the in game hat switch moves.

Are you trying that in a cold-and-dark cockpit, or actually in the air?

No, just the in game hat switch moves.

That's strange, can you post a track?

 

If you haven't already done so you should disable force feedback in the options menu. If you've mapped Trim: Reset to anything you should unbound that in case that's what giving a conflict.

No, just the in game hat switch moves.

 

If you are airborne the whole plane should pitch or roll when you hold the trim switch in any one direction! Check your control assignments again.

Thanks everyone, you were right Depth, force feedback.:thumbup:

It is mapped to HOTAS Slew. Unmap all 4 (or 8 acc. to your stick) from HOTAS slew up/dn/rt/lt, and map each to Trim Right wing down, left wing down, nose up, nose down. Also, if you're experiencing a tilt to one side, like in here use the rudder trim opposite actual trim to center the ADI. I just discovered it based on FC2.0 Su-25. Didn't know it was there. Very important.

 

Rudder trim, right = RCtrl + X, left = RCtrl + Z. Happy flying!

Turn off Force Feedback! That helped for me when I had the same problem. :thumbup:
