Fw-190 pitch and rudder trims


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Sorry if this has been already answered but, does Fw190 pitch and rudder trims work? I have them working in Mustang and Ju.88 both with rotary axis of my X52 joy. 

 

Up/Down mobile stabilizer also work in Me-109, assigned to a rotary axis.

 

But they don't in Fw-190. Button assignments don't work either (RCTRL+Arrow Up/Down for pitch trim, and LCTRL+Z/X for rudder trim).

 

Being Fw-190 a more advanced airplane than 109, a "full electric" plane as it was, I thought she would have such controls.

 

Thanks in advance

There is a key assignement for the FW 190 only 'FW 190vertical stabilizer'. It only works on buttons, like IRL. No rudder trim for the Focke Wulf.

EDIT: Of course it is horizontal stabilizer not vertical:wacko:

Some WW2 planes have (IRL) analog trim devices, e.g. a Wheel.

Some have electric system, e.g. Fw 190, Me 262, press two buttons for up and down respectively or  Pe-2 a MON-OFF-MON switch.

 

Why you can't use one system for all and need make two assignments, but can use the same keys/buttons for both.

The plane didn't have rudder trim. It has a vertical stabilizer trim, look for a different set of keys to map (you can use the same you use for pitch trim).

It has a moveable horizontal stab, it does not have vertical stabilizer trim as the 190 didn't need re-trimming in flight.

 

By default the horizontal stab is assigned to the Rshift + up/down arrow keys.

Yes, I meant Horizontal.

Thank you all, then it is clear:

 

- FW-190 has no rudder trim, neither IRL nor here in IL-2 GB

- FW-190 trims up and down moving the whole horizontal stabilizer by buttons RShift+up/down arrows

- FW-190 trimming up and down cannot be made by rotary axis.

 

So I keep rotaries axis to trim other planes like Bf-109 horizontal stabilizer, Mustang, and Ju-88 rudder and pìtch trims, etc.
