Combat Trim Options

[feejeean]

I am new - so bear with me  could HiTech consider creating options for combat trim i.e. with the objective of making this "game" less of a game and more of a simulation. There was no such thing as "combat trim" back in those days and how you set up the aircraft trim wise back depended a lot on an individuals experience. Obviously the aces i.e. pilots with a significant amount of kills were doing something right with the aircraft to be able to survive sortie after sortie.

WISHLIST

Could HiTech consider creating an option whereby those pilots who decide to switch off combat trim during flight get more perkies or are rewarded in someother fashion.

Could Hitech also make it an option that you must decide whether you want combat trim  on or off prior to T/O and that once airborne you cant change the setting until the next flight.

LOL - how do I delete the "excessive" multiple posts

There should be a delete box after you hit the edit button

Free...There was also no such thing as spits fighting mustangs...Tigers ACTUALLY DID DIE, when a 1000 pound bomb was dropped near it!  In RL when an aircraft landed off runway, but on the confines of his base he was still awarded a "sucessful" landing...=)

Theres a lot of these "no such things" in the game, and im sorry, but your "no such thing" about the combat trim hardly denotes a perk bonus

Well you have now surpassed goldelks quintuple post . <> To the new king.

Problem is that in reality it is much easier to feel trim asyou just trim until there is no pressure on the stick.  In the game it doesn't work nearly that intuitively.

[hitech]

Do to the way gaming joysticks function, there is no way to accuratly simulate trim. Triming in game manualy is much more difficult than the real thing. Combat trim is just your choice, it has both advantages and disadavantages. All combatbat trim does is simply set trim tabs to a preset position for a given speed.

So the answere is NO it will not be changing.

If you have auto combat trim de selected, you can't enable combat trim after you take off.  That's how it is.  I maybe able to still hit Control X and I'll see the light come on for combat trim, but the trim tabs will not move.

You can enable combat trim in flight even when you don't have it selected in the in flight options.

This is incorrect. You can turn combat trim on and off and it will still function normally.

if u want the game to be more realistic, request that they get rid of the stall limiter, i have played in rooms wit it off and u see alot of spit16s and la7s fliping end over end to the ground.

BKBandit I don't think the stall lmiiter does what you THINK it does.

Basicly it prevents a new pilot from pulling so hard on his joystick that it stalls the plane. As such it can be a major hindrance to flying, but that is the
only help it is. It does help keep new pilots from overcorrecting into a stall.

Much like Combat trim, it is there to help new pilots learn & adjust.
Serious pilots gain NO advantage from useing it. Indeed its a fairly serious disadvantage in any turnfight or manuver engagement.
