109 elevator trim

[Flanker35M]

S!

Point taken IT is easy to operate them, been in that Bf109G to try them.

Exactly. But now, you can adjust full range within very short period of time, hence the topic of this thread.

Again I estimate 3 seconds...but unknown

Sure with the a/c sitting on the ground one could put more turn on the wheel. have you tried the wheel while flying a 109 in combat Flanker?

If you watch the animation, full travel is about only 3/4 of one revolution. ..and so thats what we have, very quick deployment for full range. Is it accurate? we would need someone with experience of turning the wheel, or perhaps an operations manual.

Give it a shot, you'll see. With this 'exploit', the 109 is way too manoeverable and you're actually winning turnfights with Hurricanes and you'll be able to hit Spitfires breaking hard while diving on them full speed. I fly all planes in game and I find this a severe issue, just like these nose ups with flaps down and other sci-fi physics.

Hi.
I'm using the trimm with axis (on of the small scrolling wheel on the throttle). When i roll the wheel from +8 to -3, it takes seconds. Much slower, than the stick movement...
You say, if i set the trimm to joystick main axis, it will be much faster? I can't test it now, but i am curious...

You're lucky to fly in virtual world ...

If you are in constant turning, im sure, every pilot using the trimm. If you don't, your hand getting tired easily (even in a glider). More advantage, that you can keeping accurate speed (corner speed in the fighter, optimal speed in the glider, etc.).

Hi Tom. No, it's the same speedwise. I am using mine just like yours, joystick axis I ment the wheel (which is a hotas axis, too), sorry about the confusion.

Ok, np.
Thx.
