Elevator trim not working
« on: February 12, 2005, 10:56:10 PM »
I recently posted this.

But after checking it out more and testing every single plane, I can't trim the elevator in any plane with the keyboard keys. Even if I re-assign the key, it still doesn't work. And mapping it to a joystick button doesn't work either.

I have combat trim off, auto-take off on. But even if I disable auto-take off I still can't use the trim keys.

I checked the settings folder for a .cfg file to delete for the keyboard, but I couldn't find one in there. I even restored the setting folder (entire thing) with one I had on disc for backup with no luck.

My entire AHII folder is marked read-only. Even if I change that, it always reverts back to read-only (Win XP Home). But my saved views and everything work OK.

Any ideas?

Start by removing your entire settings folder. This will be like a fresh AH install.

Took 2 tries, but that fixed her.

Thanks.

Has this bug been identified?  I had to do a re-install this week and can not get the elevator trim to work via keyboard.  Aileron and rudder trim work just fine.  I have tried deleting the settings folders five times with no success.  Prior to the re-install the elevator trim had been working fine for years.

Using Windows 7 pro (64-bit)

I appreciate any help.

Check to see if you have any analog device assigned to elevator trim.

FLS you da man!  Didn't know default install assigned one Cougar throttle rotary to elevator trim.  See what happens when it been years since the last time you looked at the control settings!

Thanks again!  :salute
