Rudder Trim Dial In Cockpit -Arrows in Wrong Direction?

[lennycutler]

When applying 5-6 degrees right trim on the rudder, I have to move the rudder trim wheel counter clockwise. Viewing the trim tab from the outside aircraft view confirms the rudder trim tab moves slightly to the right.

 

But the arrows on the rudder trim wheel indicates that moving the wheel counter clockwise applies left rudder trim.

 

Seems to me, this is just cosmetic...but it had me confused, I was putting the trim to the left since the left arrow which indicates move the wheel clockwise, was moving the trim tab left instead of right.

 

So, unless I am still totally confused...seems that the arrows on the rudder trim wheel need to be corrected to reflect the correct direction for right and left trim rudder.

To trim the rudder right, the trim tab moves left to deflect the rudder to the right. You are indeed trimming the rudder to the left.

Rudder Trim Wheel Arrow Markings

 

I agree, when setting the rudder tab to the right, the tab will actually move to the left. However, to check my issue with the labeling of the arrow directions on the rudder trim tab wheel, I took some pictures of the A2A P-51.

 

You can see that it has the correct arrow direction on the trim wheel for the rudder trim, as compared to DCS P-51. Also is a picture of the A2A P 51 showing the rear view of the aircraft reflecting the correct position of the rudder tab when set 5 degrees right.

 

I think ED needs to confirm and or correct the labeling of the arrow directions (left vs right) on its model of DCS P-51D.

In version 1.2.1.6148 - now that I have checked my axis settings, and using invert....the action of the rudder trim looks correct.....maybe it was right all along?
