I believe this is a bug with my version of Il-2 BoS that I have not been able to fix nor find a forum thread about this.

 

All my German fighters have no trim control even though the trim controls are set to their default button allocation. Only 4 of the aircraft have full trim controls and nothing in the button configuration has changed from when I fly the aircraft where trim control does not work.  

 

 

I do not have any trim control on these aircraft:

 

Bf109 F-4

Bf109 G-2

Fw 190

 

I have full trim control on these aircraft:

 

Lagg 3

La-5

Pe-2

He 111

 

I have partial trim control on these aircraft:

 

Yak-1

Ju87

 

Please advise and thank you.

There is no bug, the trim works, I fly them every day. The German fighters had an adjustable stabilizer rather than trim tabs.

 

The settings for this are different between the 109 and the 190 for some reason only known to the developers. In the 109 you need to map the "adjustable stabilizer up/down" setting. For the 190 you need to map two buttons, the "adjustable stabilizer up" and adjustable stabilizer down" buttons. You can use the same hotkeys for both aircraft.

 

Once you have done it go to quick missions with external views enabled. From outside your plane you can see the AoA of the horizontal stabilizer change as you press the key. Inside, you will see a cockpit wheel move (109) or button pressed (190). Just make sure you have them set up the right way round and adjust them before takeoff.

Exactly. Not all models have all trims as it is correct in a reality counter parts.

 

German fighters will work with Elevator deflection ( you have the control keys/setup for this ).

 

Stuka and Yak-1 have no aileron trims.

 

 

 

Sidenote: was it possible IRL to adjust the trim tabs in the ground on the Yak ?

Actually the devs have this right, the 190 did not have a rotary stab control but used buttons.

Yes I know but I still need two buttons to program the 109 if I do not want to waste a valuable rotary. I only have 5 of them that work! Anyway, thing is except for this problem with the first input of a mission, trim works pretty well for me.

I just double map the same buttons for the 190 stab and all the others trim, only the rotary used for 109 stab, the really weird design choice the devs made was to not allow trim on rotary axis.

Well, one of the really weird design choices...OT

Thank you all very much for your help!

Yes, this has been giving me fits too.

 

Mapping five different commands which do the same thing to two buttons.  And one pair of commands doesn't work, so you must use the 'throttle' version of same for your buttons.
