"Wheel of Fortune" or "Trimming a Bf109"

I found the best way to describe the with 109 Trim is a wheel of fortune. You tap the Button assigned to trimming and wherever it stops, you have a new trim.

To my knowledge the Trim is not connected to the flywheel via a centrifugal clutch, like the engine.

Or is it a 200kg Flywheel you need to give a proper spin to trim?

It feels like anything, but not a small trim adjuster wheel.

S!

 

How dare you try to take away my "Glücksrad"! *joking*

 

I agree, the trimwheel (or Stabilizer controlwheel) is spinning like crazy, which makes it hard to make fast and precise adjustments. I normally need several tries before I get the trim I want. This is especially nasty if I'm in a dive with my Bf109 (I always trim it very nose heavy) and need to pull out gently by using my stabilizers.

So you mean the artificially "inertia" is too high? (Sry if I got this wrong). It should actually not be toophysically hard to use since pilots were strictly advised to not pull it too far or too rapidly at high speeds, otherwise the plane would climb up instantly ripping it's wings off.

 

It surely could be somewhat lower.

It's ridiculous as it is atm. It doesn't matter if I have it on an axis or buttons. The slightest movement causes
a rapid change that hurls the plane either up or down in pitch. This needs to be addressed.

hahaha...good point...trim keeps trimming if you already left your finger from the button seconds ago.

 

Plus it starts to pull up violently when you start trimming NOSE HEAVY !!!

Pretty nonsense to me, both of them. Needs to be fixed!!!

Using hat switch on MSFFB2 I can adjust accurately on G2 with 4 degree implements, is this 'running on' only experienced when using a rotary?

It also shows heavy inertia when using rotary, only difference is that we can do minor adjustments to the wheel rotating it a few degrees unlike button users, who usually give 100% input everytime they press their button.

 

I remember a patch when they increased trim inertia due to comunity demands, it was pretty welcomed back than..oh well.

 

For rotary use it's slightly too much in my opinion.

I would be happy with slow trim, like CloD.
