Pitch trim bug all ac
« on: September 19, 2005, 03:01:00 PM »
I trim pitch with the slider on the throttle of the x52

its output is 0 to 64200 (ish) in select joystick.

with the inversed box unchecked I get pitch trim control in the upper half of the trim band. (L to E)

with the inversed box checked I get pitch trim control in the lower half of the band (L to V) (albeit opposite to the slider motion)

This is not just a visual on the trim indicator the actual trim setting is in a different band.

I have re calibrated in both inversed and normal and this is true after fresh calibration.

Tilt...

You do know your slider should be centered (roughly 32000 output) for trim and any movement will trim in the proper direction don't you?

In other words, if you're starting with the slider all the way down you're already trimmed fully in one direction.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Nope but I do now!. Thanks problem solved. I instinctively returned the rotaries to the centre detent but left the slider at zero.
