Is there Elevator Trim for Spitfire?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all, I'm trying to use trim elevator in spitfire, but even if I mapped " Elevator trim one notch up/down" in Controls if i go out the plane on the runaway I see that after some istant/seconds  the elevator return in neutral position :huh:   is that ok ??  I use MS FFB 2 Joystick combined with Ch Trottle (mapped trim here)

there is an elevator trim on the spitfire and it does have an indicator on the dashboard

 

I assigned it and it worked but I don't think I've used the "notch" setting

go back in the controls and look for an other elevator trim

"Elevator Up One Notch"  (and Down) is not trim, but for casual players "fly" planes using keyboard in incremental way - other option is momentary (Elevator Full Up). Both commands useless for someone thinking in fly more serious.

 

Spitfire (and Hurricane) has trim for elevator and rudder, using this commands:

 

Trim Elevator Nose-Up

Trim Elevator Nose-Down

 

Trim Rudder Left

Trim Rudder Right

 

Case want can use too the "gamey":

 

Reset Elevator Trim

Reset Rudder trim

 

In Spitfire cockpit, at lower/left of instrument panel are a instrument for monitor elevator trim position.

 

The trim wheels in Spitfire cockpit are not animated - but are animated in Hurricane (CloD "shenanigan"), in both planes trim can be adjusted with mouse, not practical in Spit due lack of visual feedback from wheels.
