new Learjet 35 owner here. i’m holding short of the runway and i’m trying to adjust elevator trim however as far as I can tell the elevator trim indicator isn’t moving.

as you can see in the screenshot i’m holding the trim button (i’ve tried both ways) however the indicator never moves. the kick is, when I first got in the plane and turned on the master, i was able to get this to work. however some time later aftrer fully started and holding short I can’t get the indicator to move at all.

any idea why?

Was the AP on? You can't move the trim with the center console button if the AP is on. You can move the trim with the barrel control on the pilot's yoke IF you HOLD in the barrel's center button. Doing that will turn off the AP if it is on.

Looks like you might have accidently moved the PITCH TRIM control to "OFF".  It is right next to the SEC TRIM paddle switch.  Check and make sure that i is set forward to primary. 

If that is not the problem, the make sure that you are pressing the arming button when you move the control wheel barrel switch with your mouse.  It can difficult to move that switch with a mouse, so it is better to bind the primary trim to a joystick button.  Go to the Flysimware Discord to find help in binding these switches to your joystick.

Rich, where can I find the discord? I have some key binding issues that I haven't been able to figure out. Thanks - Eric
