Questions regarding the 109

[ACG_Wobbel]

Can some one explaine this in more detail on how and why use regarding the 109F4

• In addition to full-automatic mode there is a special manual control mode for the radiator shutters, which can be used in specific situations.

• The aircraft has no flight-control trimmers. Airplane is equipped with bendable trim tabs that can be set pre-flight by ground personnel.

• The aircraft has a manually controlled horizontal stabilizer. It may be used to trim the flight stick during the flight. In a deep dive the stabilizer should be set so that the pilot must push the flight stick forward to maintain the dive angel.

Mostly (only?) used in case of emergency, e.g. a radiator leak.

Exactly what it says. The IL2 "ground personnel" has already set the tabs to some generic value. Note that trim does not equal stabilisers: trims are small tabs on the end of the stabilisers, while stabilisers are the "tail plane" itself.

See above. Stabiliser != trim. They've got different key assignments, but apart from that, they mostly function as a trim would.

So you can not change this when on ground or before take off by the ground personnel ?

No

My riddle is: When I map my stabilizer to my joystick hat nothing happens... Any ideas?

[BlitzPig_EL]

Needs to be on an axis.  I have mine on one on my VKB stick.

No - I have it mapped to buttons and it works just fine.

It's odd. It detects the hatswitch in the keymapper but it doesn't do anything, however I can map it to another button and it works.

I have trim and stabilizer on my Warthog trim hat and never had an issue.

 

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Or conflicting controls? Or a difficulty setting that removes need for trimming?

You also have to bind the stabilizer trim axis for the 109, even if it says axis use the same buttons.  The other bindings are for planes with trim control buttons.
