Trim?

[redtiger02]

I don't know if this will factor into the game or not, but in the Luftwaffe only the 190 series had aileron trim in addition to elevator trim. Most fighters of the era also had rudder trim. If it goes anything like the real world, you are going to trim and retrim constantly. I fly a 182 long distance almost daily and there are all kinds of rudder/elevator trim adjustments. I guess we have to wait until next week and find out how it's all going to go down.

It certainly factors in airspeed, but not sure about anything like altitude or wind. Is there even wind in this game?

I haven't done too much level flight in the game - normally throwing it about, seeing how hard I can push her.

German planes typically only have elevator trim and have the other trim preset on the ground using flettner tabs. Most British planes have rudder and elevator trim and most US planes have trim on all three axis.

Ah so thats why I can't get the trim to stop the torque rolling the Spitfire to the left all the time. It doesn't have aileron trim?

to be honest I perform better on sim ignoring trim and just getting into the targets..my top score and kill count did not involve trim at all...I might use it on a bomber aircraft to line up then focus on the bomb sight....
