FireWalker 329 Posted September 17, 2017 Is manual trim enabled or availabe for airplanes like the helicopters have? I always have some drifting and it makes precision flying harder. Unfortunately I have older stick and pedals, so I don't have a lot of buttons, so if Im toggling through the action menu or fumbling around on the keyboard, its easy for me to lose my heading and horizon. Just wondering about flight trim availability. Thanks, Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted September 17, 2017 If you encountert drifting input it due to your input device having lost the center. Trim is automatic and wind is not modeled in the simple only aircraft FM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tajin 348 Posted September 18, 2017 No, sadly there is no trim. And no, drift is not always caused by faulty input devices. With the jets update, slightly damaged wings can also cause the plane to drift. Even if it doesn't show up on the damage display. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireWalker 329 Posted September 18, 2017 I'm a very active RC aerobatics pilot and would much prefer to be able to bump in some trim if needed. Only real reason I guess, is if I start playing and hop in a plane it would be quick and easy without having to escape out and tweak the deadzone. But, its ok. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tajin 348 Posted September 19, 2017 Oh hey that reminds me, BIS recently added these two commands here to the scripting language: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addForce https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addTorque It should be possible to to make a script that simulates trim with them.

FireWalker 329 Posted September 19, 2017 Hmmm, I wonder if they allow negative values? I guess they wouldn't be much good without being able to go the oppposite direction. (especially when messing with torque values) Also wondering if I could create a pitching deck on the carriers. Probably the same affliction of not being able to move forward will also kill the pitching deck idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
