Ok, so I have now re-installed Flight AT LAST on my new rig, and can report that, side-by-side, the 3930K @ 4.7 EATS Flight on everything maxed and flying around PHTO, so it loves the extra two Cores that my 2600K didn't have.

 

BUT - Of course, I had to re-accept the new controls in order to start the game and then re-install my old career..It seems that the Repeat section of the trim controls, (which I have assigned to my little wheel - buttons 11 and 12 - under the hat-switch on my Cyborg X) now has a value of 100.000000 whereas before it had a value of 32.000000

 

I don't want to break anything, but will reducing this back to ZERO as I did before, leave me with single degree increments of the trim wheel? It does it in 1/2/3 degree increments at present (seems not to be fixed, whcih is even more annoying)

 

Thanks cfg tweakers!

Instead of reducing it to zero, remove the entire repeatline. That should do the trick.

I'm not sure if the effects of the Repeat setting ever got sorted out. I just used a work-around, and still am: If your joystick software supports assigning keyboard key-strokes to joystick buttons, you can assign the keyboard keys for trim to your desired trim buttons. This results in the buttons acting exactly like the keyboard keys... a single click always gives a one degree change, while holding the button yields a consistent repeat rate for larger adjustments.

I just took a look at mine, and removing the repeat line for the keyboard command must be what I did as well, as I do not have those lines listed under the pitch up and pitch down keyboard commands.

I have my pitch trim assigned to buttons on my Cougar stick, however it is done through the software which basically replicates the key command for pitch up and pitch down to these two buttons on my stick.

While there is no repeat command in the standard.xml file, I do have it programmed through the software to repeat at a certain rate if I hold the button down.

So a single press of one of the buttons with the pitch up or down , will give me a 1 degree - I think - increment in trim. But if I hold it down, it will continue to pitch trim up or down at the rate I have it set to.

 

This scenario seems to work best with my configuration.

I believe the old repeat was number of button presses per second. The new repeat is definitely the number of milliseconds between button presses.

 

Repeat of 100 gives 10 presses per second, for example.

ahhhhh..Thanks, guys .

 

I did wonder about that 100 line; I thought it had increased the available granularity even further, wheareas it's actually changed the parameter all together..

 

 

Off we go!

I believe in the previous trim thread, the result that a lot of people (including myself) did was set the repeat settings to 240. This setting allows pressing the button once to adjust the trim by 1%, and holding the button will continuously adjust it. So if you find it's still not how you like it, consider changing it to 240, as shown below:

 

<Entry>

<Index>2</Index>

<Down>

<EventName>FlightControls.PitchTrimDownIncrement</EventName>

<Repeat>240.000000</Repeat>

</Down>

</Entry>

<Entry>

<Index>3</Index>

<Down>

<EventName>FlightControls.PitchTrimUpIncrement</EventName>

<Repeat>240.000000</Repeat>

</Down>

</Entry>

 

And if you are having the issue where panning with the hat switch is slow and choppy (which happened to me when my controls got reset), consider changing the repeat rate for the PAN_VIEW section of your controller to match this:

 

<Down>

<EventName>PAN_VIEW</EventName>

<EventUnits>meter</EventUnits>

<Repeat>1.000000</Repeat>

</Down>

I use the same settings as Funk ^^^^ and they work fine for me too.

How bizarre..I'm in a mission right now and was just wondering why my panning has got slow and choppy..

 

I love AVSIM forums..seek and ye SHALL find :clap:

 

EDIT as far as the trim goes, with the repeat line gone, my little wheel now gives me 1deg per up or down click/roll; just the way I like it

Hi,

 

I modified my standard.xml as shown in funk420s' post. Fine trim control and much smoother panning. Thanks. I did create a text file in the same folder describing the changes. Now if I can just remember that it's there in case I ever have need to recall what was done.
