Trim Wheel Speed

Post by dlstanek »

Hello,

I Love your C172. ALMOST like the real thing. My question is this. How can I speed up the speed of the trim wheel? It was painfully slow in takeoff and flight.

TIA,

Dennis

Hello Dennis - welcome to the A2A forums and thanks for the kind words. Very happy to hear you're enjoying the Skyhawk!

If you're using hardware buttons or keyboard keys for trim inputs, your bet bet is to try the "yoke trim up" and "yoke trim down" functions in the A2A C172 Input Configurator (which is available from the Windows start menu). When using these functions, the trim speed should be a very good match for the rate of the manual electric trim system in the real aeroplane.

No need to un-map any buttons or keys you use here elsewhere in your sim; the input configurator commands will simply override any existing function once the 172 is loaded in the sim.

Thanks,
Nick

May I assume the same is true of the Bonanza?

Yep, the same principal applies for the Bonanza Les.
