Set a offset to a specific value

[Phipanjo]

Hello guys,

in MSFS there is (unfortunately) no aileron (x0C02) / elevator (x0BC0) trim reset.

So I came up with the idea to bind a specific trim value (I guess 0) to a button, so that the trim can get centered again.

Is my thought realistic or may someone know a better way? And if so, how can I tell the offset a specifc value?

Cheers

You can certainly do that. You need to assign to one of the following (both may work, or one only, depending on the aircraft) with a parameter of 0:
    ELEVATOR_TRIM_SET
    AXIS_ELEV_TRIM_SET
    AILERON_TRIM_SET
    AILERON_TRIM_SET_EX1

You can also write to the trim offsets using the control Offset Word Set - see page 33 of the Advanced User guide for details on this as well as other offset controls.

What does the "EX1" at "AILERON_TRIM_SET_EX1" mean?

Both of the ways works great! Thank you, John!

I don't think it means anything - just additional/Extra controls. Both the standard and the _EX1 controls work for some aircraft, but for others only one may work.
