trim delay

OK Is Oleg acutally gonna read what is in this forum?

Oleg, Please fix the trim delay. It takes forever for me to get any plane trimmed out.

I use an X-52 and get lots of bounce and sway to alot of simple moves that should not be there.

now it works only for those who use sliders ie. those that were cheating with it before too.

For other, semi-normal people like myself, it's now harder to use trim than before. You know tapping and all that stuff.

Not necessarily, Dkoor. Depends on your stick, I think.

It's way too fast on my X52 sliders. Almost to the point where it's unusable.

It's only through much time and dogged perseverance that I've managed to acquire the feather light touch required to trim for level flight, (especially in a full three axis trim plane, like the P39).

Trimming in combat would be near impossible. In that case it would be the keyboard FTW.

And I think - you're right.
I saw some rotaries with positions 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 & 1/1 etc. - they can really have trim they want in a fragment of sec.

When I had my X-52 I had trim on the slider and experienced no delay whatsoever. Now that I have my CH hotas I dont have it on a slider anymore but on a hat switch and experience the delay so hopefully Oleg removes the delay or adds it to the slider as well because there is a very clear disadvantage here and one that I did not realized existed. Luckily for me I dont find myself having to trim near as much as I did when I had the X52. The CH hotas is just more precise.

S!

Is it really that bad?

I think the trim is fine.. look you can edit the response by using joy 2 key... you can set up macros on your keyboard. There are options. This sim screams out for a HOTAS gents... and I know that everyone doesn't have the disposable cash.. but for those that do we should have options to use the features that come with that. This whole trim argument is IMO a moot point... but thats my opinion and of course you are entitled to yours..

I think that the trim is fine also, never had a issue with it...I'm useing CH controls
