Trim Set

[FLS]

It would be useful if the Trim Set command and analog trim did not get over ridden by level trim when jumping to a gunner position. Maybe make it a selection in flight preferences.

I agree.

It's not that it gets overridden it's just that when you leave the cockpit the autopilot turns on to keep your plane straight and level. In which case would you not want the autopilot to turn on?

No. And if it doesn't get over-ridden in your language I'm happy to say that it turns on instead.

What are  wanting to accomplish,  because what you are asking for would to have some one  shoot your pilot when you gun.

The ability to set a turn, level, climbing, or descending,    while manning a gun position.

I think what he's saying is,

Your flying in your hog and you preffer a nose heavy trim and so set it that way. If you flick on the auto level as you rest/grab a beer/hit the can when you turn the auto level off you have to retrim the plane to nose heavy. He is asking that the trim settings used BEFORE going to auto level be remembered and reinstated instead of the plane being trimed for level flight.

...but I'm only guessing

Fugi which hog has the gunner position? 

[The Fugitive]

I didn't see anything posted about a gunner until Hitech posted, and well... I just thought he might have miss-spelled something else

It was in the first sentence where I said, "when jumping to a gunner position."   

[FLS]

As an example, if a bomber pilot needs an easy turn to maintain his formation after the first pass over his target he can gun during the turn while maintaining the turn.

This is such a classic give what they want not what they ask for.

What your asking for has nothing to do with trim. But the auto pilot. They plane would not stay in its current state very long with only trim and no autopilot.

You can already set your bank angle by using the rudder while gunning. You now wish the ability to change climb descend angles or at least hold the same.

You can do most of this, by setting auto angle before you jump to the gunner position, the plane will hold the same decent or climb.

Or you can set auto speed, and then change the speed while your in the gunner to climb or descend.

I'm seeing that as a feature not a problem. This is also why I see it as a possible flight/preferences option rather than a change that everyone has to use.

I had thought that auto angle changed to auto level when gunning but I'll take another look at it.

[FLS]

The bomber example was probably misleading. It wasn't an example of why an optional auto pilot is needed.

If you could set trim in a Storch, for example, and jump to the gunner position without the auto pilot engaging then you could fly loops from the gunner position.
