    thanks for all your help again, i downloaded and copied the files but it still doesn't work because i haven't updated FSUIPC.let's say for one reason or another i can't update to 4.7, does that mean i have no chance of making the trim work on 4.6?

    heya dazz! i updated FSUIPC to 4.60 and i made the correction, now it looks like we're getting somewhere but not quite yet.I have a new list of controls and it looks like this---Lua TrimNGXLuaClear TrimNGXLuaDebug TrimNGXLuaKill TrimNGXLuaSet TrimNGXLuaToggle TrimNGX---Thing is, "LuaValue trimNGX" control doesn't appear in that menu and the trim won't work. And it doesn't work with any of the controls above for that matter.Nevertheless I observed that when i go to the Joystick Calibration window in FSUIPC on "trim, spoilers and Flaps" and i move my wheel, the numbers under the "Reset" button remain in zero, both "in" and "out" values. in the other hand, in the Axis assignment window the "in" and "out" values react to the motion of the wheel. i don't know if it means anything at all but i thought it might help you figuring out Thanks a lot for your time mate, i really appreciate ps. do i need to assign the axis to the FSX controls as well? coz that's the only thing i didn't try...

    Hi dazz! I saved the .lua file as you suggested and i added the auto entry at the final line in my FSUIPC4.iniSince my model is not american airlines i changed it to my aircraft title as it appears in the aircraft.cfg file [Auto.Boeing 737-8Q8NGX Air Jamaica Winglets]1=Lua NGXInit i double checked all steps before posting this.now my problem is i dont get how to assign my axis to the control "LuaValue trimNGX" i cant see it in the FSUIPC axis assignments nor can i in the FSX menu. i think i'm missing something here Thanks in advance

    Hey! i don't have FSUIPC installed so i believe that may be a reason for the crazy behavior. I'm giving that a try for sure, thanks for the advice

    I got a tough one here: I use an axis for the motion of the stab trim (a racing wheel that works fine with all FSX models) but I have a weird problem when I use the axis.The product: PMDG 737-800 NGXThe problem:I start with the trim at the center position. Then I turn the wheel, say full left. At first the trim goes forward (nose down), which is fine but as my wheel reaches about 75% left, the trim suddenly starts going in the opposite direction (nose up) until I hit 100% left on my wheel. Then I move the wheel to the right and the trim continues going nose up until I hit the center position of my racing wheel, then as i keep turning the wheel to the right, the trim now starts going nose down even though I haven't moved my wheel to the left, and so on. So no matter what i do, the trim doesn't seem to work in a linear fashion when it's driven by an axis.But there's more to it. If I move the wheel, say full left and I start moving it right and left in small continuous strokes (between 100% left and 75% left) the trim goes nose down in a nice linear way as long as i keep the motion. Move the wheel to full right and move it in small strokes (100% right -> 75% right) and the trim nicely moves nose up all the way to max up. That looks like a hell of a bug to me!Thinking it might be a compatibility issue I changed to several other physical axis but the problem remained the same. I'd appreciate any hints on that one (besides having to use annoying key commands to work the trim :/ )
