trim ?

[ChankyChank]

Trim makes an airplane maintain a constant airspeed. When you set an aircraft's trim in level flight it will maintain altitude because your airspeed is not changing. This is very hard to do on the game with my ace edge because of the deadzone...I can't make small enough corrections to get it right. As soon as your altitude, bank angle, power setting changes, a different amount of trim is required fir the new airspeed. For example, if I'm flying level at 200kts and have the aircraft trimmed and it's mainting altitude that means it's trimmed to maintain 200kts. If I reduce power, the aircraft will nose down and descend because it's trying to re obtain 200kts. Therefore if I reduce power and want to maintain altitude, I have to retrim for a lower airspeed.

As far is online gameplay, I don't mess with the trim much. If you trim it for ful WEP when you spawn, extra back pressure will be required when you slow down during the dogfight. If the trim wheels on the ace edge were calibrated to actually work instead of pressing a button for 'auto-trim' trimming would be more effective
