Title: New feature reuqest
Post by: SpyHawk on July 10, 2000, 11:57:00 AM

Maybe this already exists and I just didn't see it, but I would like to see a key combo, like maybe [ALT][K] or something that would recenter your trim tabs.

Thanks guys!

Why would you want to center the tabs?

I sure can use this feature. There were several times when autopilot for some unknow reason would put trim in such a position that it's hard to fly plane straight. Would be nice to immidiatly revert to centered position.

X(autopilot) should do it, if auto won't engage, than something is not quite right with your JS, from my past dilema's and observations.

Yeah X-auto will do it, after it rights the plane and puts you straight and level.

I have had several occasions were I wished I had the luxery of doing that, but do to the fact that I was diving oway from an attacker or turning for and overshoot snap shot I had to fight the controls instead of just hitting X.

Anyways, there you go.

Oh, and don't give me, the old, "You shouldn't have been in that position to start with."  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) It has nothing to do with this feature.

Even the greats occasionally had to evade fire from unseen attackers.

Ah, I get ya now.  Hmm, me thinks HTC wants you to 'earn' it like the historical aviators did it, manually trim it back to center.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It would be a nice feature, what you are asking for.

Didn't WB's use F6 for JS center while in any a/c attitude?  That's what we need.

I use "auto angle" to neutralize the trims when they get way outta wack.  Just center the stick and hit SHIFT X.  Only takes a second or two.  Can be used in a zoom, dive, or while running on the deck.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  I use it quite often, even have a button on the trottle mapped for it.
