K key trim issue
« on: April 18, 2012, 05:12:15 PM »
So I'm trying to get back into the game, was flying around my beloved 109k4 yesterday and dove from the heavens and found myself in compression. No big deal, I can recover with the k key......WRONG! The plane pitched down STEEPER and I became a smoking hole in the ground. I looked at the key mapping, and nothing had changed. I tried to duplicate the problem and sure enough, pressing the k key dumps in ALL of my nose down trim, even though its mapped for nose up. Do I need to buy a new keyboard? What's the scoop?

I'm having an issue with my analog trim. It never wants to go above neutral but will trim nose down just fine. And yes, I have calibrated it.

Make sure you center the analog axis when you're done calibrating it within AH and before clicking 'done or ok'. Otherwise, you'll only get + or - trim up to the neutral position.

Curry wins. I'm in a big, fancy committee and literally laughed out loud. Drew a couple looks like I'm insane. Where the crap did you get that video?

I noticed this as well. I was "diving" in a P-38 and compressed. I mashed the 'k' on my keyboard and saw no noticeable response. I still managed to pull out; cannot tell you how as I was blacked out. But during the entire blackout I continued to hold the 'k' down. I just figured it was me or my crappy stick.
