Title: Warthog HOTAS - elevator trim not working
Post by: FESS67 on April 21, 2014, 01:06:27 AM

Hi,

I am mapping the trim functions to the trim hat switch.  Ailerons work fine.  Elevator - when I push the hat switch the trim moves to the middle and stays there.  It does not matter if I press the hat switch once or hold it, the trim indicator moves tot he middle and just sits there.  No amount of pressing will make it move again.  If I select combat trim, the trim indicator will move to that setting however if I touch the manual trim button again it just moves back to the middle.  I am unable to manually trim the nose up or down.

Hat switch works fine if it is assigned to views and the left / right trims work fine.

Not using TM software.

Ideas please?  I am forced to use combat trim and I would like to be able to manually trim.

Check if any analog controls are mapped to elevator trim.

Problem solved.  I had the incr - decr slider mapped to it as well.  Thanks for that.

I will post the next issue in a separate thread
