Has anyone found any key combinations for the rotor trim in the FS2004 R-22 ?Its is used very often in order to cruise in balance and the only way I found till now is to pull/push the knob with the mouse in the subpanel with the engine instruments.Using the mouse constantly while flying manually a helicopter with joystick in FS is not an easy job !Kyprianos Biris :-cool[link:avsim.com/greece/hvacc]Hellenic vACChttp://vateud.org/images/vatsim-eurs.gif

I'm sorry, I thought you could get the essential out of it although it's written in German. Anyway, you need to modify the fs9.cfg and add the following to lines in the keyboard section:[KEYBOARD_MAIN]ROTOR_LATERAL_TRIM_INC=39,10ROTOR_LATERAL_TRIM_DEC=37,10It maps the rotor trim to CTRL+left cursor and CTRL+right cursor to de- and increase it. Unfortunately until now I was not able to assign it to the joystick.Regards,Simeon

just to let you guys know the push/pull lever is the only type of trim in the aircraft. it loosens up the cyclic at cruise.

It is, except MS seemed to have it so its variable, i.e. rather than on/off in real life, it works as a percentage like the F/W trim.

Hi Simon,You can map these commands to joystick buttons with a registered version of FSUIPC and "button programming". This "rules" are used in my version of the programming:34=CR(F+0,13)0,2,C66593,0 ;Decrement Rotor Lateral Trim35=CR(F+0,13)0,3,C66592,0 ;Increment Rotor Lateral TrimI am using a scheme that allows me to map up to eight commands to a button (using the state of two buttons as a condition). Here I am using the buttons 3 and 4 on an MS sidewinder to execute the commands, while holding down button 7 and 8 (which is setting flag 13). In total I could execute up to 6 x 8 commands on the 8 buttons (1 to 6 for giving commands (when button is comming up and/or button is going down), 7 and 8 for conditions (none pushed, 7 pushed, 8 pushed, both pushed). If you are interested in the article I wrote about it, let me know! Regards,Hugo
