Do Authentikit Trim Wheels work ok?

[Tonester]

Hi guys…is anybody using the spit or p40 trim wheel from authentikit and if so is it straight plug and play? concerned

about it not being an axis…does it still work ok and accurately? cheers all

They work very nicely. Plug and play, after you’ve built it of course.

They are analog axis, with contact less Hall sensor, and their USB HUB "pnp" for Windows/games.

 

What you should have in concern is that not all planes of IL-2 GB series allow use an analog axis for any kind of trim, some require buttons.

The P40 trims use a rotary encoder rather than Hall sensors, so work fine for those aircraft that require buttons. The only problem is that they can need rather a lot of rotations in comparison with the real thing.

The spit uses a rotary encoder too. And you can set the number of rotations / button stroke.

ok cool thanks for the advice guys

I have seen screen shots of both and I think they only offer two axis, Pitch and Yaw, no Roll........... 

 

Ask him to make plans for the P-47 trim box, it's flat unlike the Mustang's slight angle to the Roll wheel.

This calibration tool is coming out any day now. I'm testing v1.0 at the moment. It maps any trim wheel to an axis and allows you to set the rotation speed to get a perfect match with the sim. https://authentikit.org/authentikit-trim-wheel-calibrator-for-msfs/
