Author Topic: Trim mappings fail (Read 310 times)

I changed flight sticks and now all trim mappings on keyboard and flight stick refuse to function.. I would guess I need to set everything to default and start over from scratch, but is there a configuration file I can edit or delete that may be easier solution. Flying without trim adjustments is very frustrating..

Looking for a pointer in the right direction before I start shooting from the hip and screwing things up further!

stick.cfg file in settings folder.

I recommend you make a backup of the folder before messing with it, but besides that, you can just delete the file and reconfiguring your stick will create a new one.

Little late but if you're mapping trim to an axis (rotary, anything that spins/moves) it needs to be moved and centered during JS calibration. If The trim is mapped to a part of the JS, that trim won't function on the keyboard.

Thats exactly what I did...

Using AH to map rotaries or sliders was very non productive but using the X52 software it seemed easier to use key mappings so thats how I proceeded..
The final outcome was much better then I have ever accomplished and all trim settings on the throttle work very well on the rotaries and sliders.. Reading the manual is part of fix...I had never just sat down and actually read the manual and thought out the best way to map all the buttons to be useful before...
RTFM
Thanks for your replies they helped me big time!
