December 23, 20241 yr As the title says, how do we set key assignments for the two rotor trims? Or is it included in just "trim"? It is hard not to be MSFS-centric 😄 Thank you Edited December 23, 20241 yr by History DA B760M PRO4 | i5-13400F | RTX 3060 12 GB | G.Skills Ripjaws 32GB | MSI MAG A550BN | Ace Power 1 TB NVMe  | Cooler Master Hyper 212
December 23, 20241 yr depended on the aircraft, most of them can use default pitch and roll trim, but some came with it's own command and some with force trim function.
December 23, 20241 yr Complementing what @C2615 answered, and regarding simulation of force trim, some example of helicopter addons with specific / customized trim systems are: Rotorsim EC135: This helicopter has its own built-in force trim simulation, making it a popular choice for realistic helicopter flying; OH-58D Kiowa Warrior: Available for download and includes force trim features: OH-58D Kiowa Warrior - Helicopters - Rotorcraft XP12 - X-Plane.Org Forum HeliTrim Plugin: This plugin can be used with various helicopters in X-Plane 12 to simulate force trim. It allows you to set and release trim, making it easier to fly helicopters with regular, self-centering joysticks : HeliTrim - Utilities - X-Plane.Org Forum Force trim, of any kind ( all airplanes where IRL it is used ) isn't natively modelled in X-Plane, nor in MSFS FWIW... DCS World does have force trim implementations on it's helicopters where it exists IRL. This limitation isn't really a platform systems limitation but rather due to the kind of hardware simmers use, and how difficult it is to properly model the effects of trimming on control surfaces other than in FBW aircraft... Force Trim shoukd actually BE modelled on the controller side...

December 23, 20241 yr If the helicopter is set up to be trimmable (the R22 is not, AFAIR), then the default pitch, roll and yaw trim commands are all you need. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
