msfs -- aileron and rudder trim settings?

Featured Replies

I am interested in knowing what specific assignments/settings Honeycomb alpha yoke and bravo quadrant owners are using to set your aileron and rudder trim?  I am having all sorts of over/under response outcomes from the various attempts I'm making.  I would appreciate just knowing what works,

Many thanks,

Brian

 

 

 

 

I like to use the yoke buttons 9, 10, 11 & 12 and I map them using MSFS Controls to the standard commands "Aileron Trim Left (Right)" and "Rudder Trim Left (Right)" and I don't have any issues. BTW for the elevator trim wheel I use FSUIPC.ini (below) and it seems to work great in most all aircraft.

 [Buttons]
PollInterval=25
ButtonRepeat=20,10

Just an observation:
you have 3 entries for
16=PD,21,C65607,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_DN}-
17=PD,21,C65607,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_DN}-
18=PD,21,C65607,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_DN}-
it should be only one
 
and 6 entries for
19=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
20=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
21=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
22=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
23=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
24=PD,22,C65615,0     -{ELEV_TRIM_UP}-
where you also should have only one.

Regarding 

ButtonRepeat=20,10

change to

ButtonRepeat=20,0

I did the multiple entries on purpose rather than use the ButtonRepeat=20,0 since I'm not sure when you rotate the trim wheel on the Bravo how it sends commands. Is it button continuosly pressed as long as you keep moving it in the same direction or a series of single button presses? also the ButtonRepeat will act on all buttons that you set up to repeat. I originally had the rudder and aileron trim set in FSUIPC and mapped to buttons on the yoke that I would actually hold depressed so I wanted to treat the elevator trim wheel uniquely. Its seems to work great. I did correct the entries to have the same number each way.

Do you use a single entry and ButtonRepeat? Does it work well?

I just changed recently to PFC from Bravo and had one entry for up and one for down. Re ButtonRepeat I have it 20,0. I'm avoiding that delay in response.
I was concerned about multiple entries but if it is working fine.....
