Adjusting Elevator trim effectiveness in the cfg file.

Post by hampshireandy »

I find i have to hold the trim button on my joystick for a few seconds to adjust the elevator trim so Im trying to speed up the elevator trim by increasing the effectiveness in the aircraft cfg file from the default 0 up to 6 but this makes no difference , should it or does changing these settings not do anything?
Regards
Andy

Correct, the aircraft.cfg has no effect as we moved the trim out of FSX and into Accu-Sim for better trim physics in flight. However, it is tied to the trim wheel in FSX and this should be unaffected (default), so the speed should start slow for fine tuning, then fast if you hold it.

If you look at the handle at the top, does it move slow then fast after a few seconds holding the button?

Hi Scott, many thanks for clearing that up, and yes it does. So does anything in the aircraft cfg file affect the actual aircraft in fsx, apart from cams and textures of course?

Hey Andy,


Unlike default Realism aircraft Accu-sim aircraft should never have anything edited as it will affect the simulation fidelity and could result in a broken simulation.

Editing the cfg other than repaints is not supported unless told otherwise by A2A. Many of the values are set at a specific setting for The Accu-sim Simulation engine to work correctly. Providing the professional realism we can is due to the use of our ground up Accu-sim simulation engine enabling us to shut off parts of FSX and inject our own technology.

Thanks,
Lewis
