question about trim
« on: January 02, 2005, 08:48:50 PM »
I am trying to use manual trim but my rudder trim indicator stays all the way to the left when in manual trim & I cannot get it to move to the right at all; it just stays to the far left. If I switch to combat trim, the indicator gets centered, but once i trim my elevator, the rudder trims all the way left. i checked my keyboard to make sure my Left rudder trim button wasn't stuck. Any ideas?

default manual trim keys

rudder = J and L
aileron = M and ,
elevator = I and K

Make sure stick is calibrated in Windows first then in the game.

If it's a "twisty" stick make sure there is no imput while trimming.

Manual trim in each plane is preset. Some planes had trim set to the extremes of one or another (most planes default trim elevator full up). I try to remember to center the tabs before takeoff then just after takeoff level out and trim the whole plane.
