CanSarac Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hello everyone, Firstly, I'm kinda new here and might have miscalculated the place I'm posting, sorry if I did that. I'm mostly fly VFR and fly by hand, not via AP so I had to trim a lot. So I'm in a need for an easy way to trim. FS's trimming keys are either too harsh or toooo slow for me. FSUIPC have a mouse trim option and I loved that but that's always on and I can't use the mouse wheel to adjust bearings, altimeter calibration or Com's etc. Is there a way to activate FSUIPC's mouse trim option momentarily on with a button like ctrl or any other button on keyboard? I'm using a Logitech G903 mouse so I can literally bind any button to my mouse buttons. Also there was a addon I was using before my migration to p3d but I can't use it now because it's 32-bit. It's called Realtrim and was an ultimate way to trim. I wonder from here with programming skills could adapt that to p3dv4? Link to that is; https://github.com/nmeier/fscode Thanks! Fly safe ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaxus Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 What's wrong with the FS trimming keys? I use a rocker switch on the joystick. If you are not getting the correct trimming response you can adjust its effectiveness in the aircraft.cfg. Look for elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.0 under [flight_tuning] The standard is 1.0 and max is 2.0 and min is 0.1 (If i recall correctly). Some of the planes that I fly has this setting as low as 0.5 or as high as 1.9. You just need to tune this setting to find the sweet spot. I have never had a plane the didn't need this setting to be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanSarac Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I noted down (literally) and will check that but the main thing here is using not the buttons but using mouse wheel or directly Flight stick itself for trimming :)) Thanks anyway I'm going to look into that too.
