........ I would prefer some aileron trim on the Spits and others ...maybe with the option to turn it on or off so some won't whine because It ain't realistic... I do get tired of holding my stick to one side for hours... Skaaaarew realism there......... save my wrist!!!!





Not to argue with your suggestion at all but you might benefit from looking into the modification on your stick to reduce that spring pressure. I've done it as I'm ancient and have arthritis now and it makes the Wharthog a joy to use for me. A Youtube search will reveal instructions and it's fairly safe in terms of warranty.

Cheers.

No prob. Fortunately, it's completely reversable if you ever have warranty issues or wish to sell your Warthog HOTAS someday. Some may feel that the Warthog stick is too easy to move after this, but you can stack washers under the smaller auxiliary springs to stiffen it back up a bit. I didn't bother, and I do find that I have finer control of my Warthog stick for precision aiming.

Ideally, I'd rather have an extension on the stick which would give greater leverage against the stock mainspring, and greater throw distance for precise control.

Oh No! Next they would be wanting rudder trim on the 109's!! Inconceivable!!!!!!

All joking aside, as long as it's server controllable, I don't see any problem with it. It would be just like any of the other realism options.

Cheers!

Whenever I go to pilot customizing and try customizing my pilot I get a CTD with the error saying windows is low on memory. I have noticed this happens with any version I run.

I rarely get CTD during game play only when I try customizing my pilot.

Ha Ha!! I am ok with all the other realism settings... This is the only one I would like an independent option on... But I am looking at the Stick adjustment instead. I really don't think trim for the spit would ever be implemented... I was just daydreaming about a nice to have IMHO

Hey Thanks for this tip... although I am reluctant to modify my Warthog... I will check into this... Problem is ..this is not the only Sim I fly. But thanks again to all who replied.
