Trim commands on an axis

[LukeFF]

I know this has been brought up before, but with the addition of the Fw 190 to the mix, this needs to be brought up again: all of the trim commands need to be assignable to an axis. With the need to use keyboard commands to adjust the stabilizer on the 190, that now makes 8 keyboard commands necessary to adjust trim on non-Bf 109 planes. I have this wonderful trim axis controller I made a while back, but now it sits mostly idle because of the current need to use the keyboard to adjust trim. That means I have to try to find space on my HOTAS setup for 8 keyboard inputs and thus take away space from other commands I'd rather put there. 

 

So please, find a way to make all the trim commands assignable to an axis. It'll make everyone happier in the end.

+1

Each trim or stab has to be assignable to an axis.

 

No need to create new keys every time a new plane is deliver.

pls Devs i need the Trimm on  my Joistik-Axis Back!

as a online flyer for a long time ,i need this on My X52 pro.

+1 trim on an axis please (unless you are RayBanJockey)

[FG28Kodiak]

The FW-190 uses buttons connected to an electric motor on the adjustable stabilizer for trimm, btw you can find the buttons (8) near the trim-indicator.

 

 

 

So it's historical correct to use buttons for this in this sim. Why you want a unhistorical option?

ich weiß ,aber das heist doch nicht das das so im Spiel umgesetzt werden muss.

[SvAF/F16_Goblin]

The Bf 109 has wheels for both adjustable tail and flaps.

[Silverback]

Yes please, just like every other flight sim made in the last ten years.

So, +1.

Maybe they change trim options due cases of people already using in (BoS) MP the Stabilizer Trim in the same axis of Elevator...

 

At least the actual options avoid solutions like the il-2'46 delay in trim response (due "bat turn cheater)  what make trim in that game a bit awkward to use.

I can actually understand that they create seperated buttons for the trim/adjustable stabilizer on the 190 (which doesn't mean that i support it) for the 190, but atleast it should be possible at use an axis for the other trims which had trim on a wheel (say most if not all other planes).

[71st_AH_Hooves]

That diagram of the 190 clearly shows they are buttons. Not sure why people want trim on an axis for the 190. The 109? Ok cause it has a wheel. (But please slow it down by 3x so its not used to accomplish the worlds smallest loop like it has been.

 

I know its still an "adjustable stab" but wouldn't of it made sense for the already needed buttons trim up and down maps for the Russian Aircraft?

 

I hope the devs keep it real. Because substituting one mechanic for the other still makes it 50 percent wrong.

 

But im sure the devs are aware (at least they are now) and the proper controls will be implemented.

I agree and believe that all this will be sorted out in the end. It's just that right now things are a bit inconsistent. I can agree that the stabilizer in the 190 should be adjustable only by keypresses and thus kept that way. However, on the other hand, the Ju 87's water radiator can currently be controlled by an axis, while historically that was controlled by two pushbuttons. So, either we need to either have all relevant trim & engine functions bindable to an axis, or they need to be separated into those that historically could be adjusted only by a button & those that could be moved by a lever/handle/wheel. The current setup is too confusing & leads to false reports about something being bugged.

Please, try it before thinking such false things :  the stab already moves at same speed with axis or with buttonso no advantage with an axis. And what the matter if some wants axis and others wants button. The most important is that the trim and its speed of moving in the game is equal to reality : no matter the way you move it with your own hardware. The most simple is to give us choice to assign button or axis for this function, like any others flight sims. I'd rather have an axis for all the trims of each plane in the game, because I prefer, and you certainly will set buttons.

(hope my english was quiet correct ! sorry for that)
