I have a Honeycomb yoke attached to an X-Plane 11 system. Seems to get the basics of Cessna 172 flight control about right, maybe a bit sensitive. The left handle of the yoke has a couple of rocker switches, vertically positioned. In X-Plane, Settings:joystick lists out the possible switch-to-flight control associations. For the left-hand switch, Item 5 is Rock Up, Item 6 is Rock Down. I associated 5 and 6 with Pitch Trim, Mechanical not Servo. My first inclination was to match Switch designation with Pitch change direction, i.e. Switch Up, Pitch Up. Nice ring to it, easy to remember. But in flight, I mentally reached for the trim wheel, and rotated it properly--which is rotate down to add pitch up (and vice versa). The wheel motion is opposite the switch motion. It's a small thing, I realize. But what's the accepted way:
A. Switch Up for Pitch Up, or
B. Switch Up moves Pitch Wheel Up
Thanks for any advice. Still dialing in X-Plane.
