I’’ve read posts. I’ve watched tutorials. But no matter what I do, I cannot bind the Learjet 35 pitch trimming functions to my joystick (Thrustmaster T1600/TWCS).
The tutorials say that the Pitch trim barrel switch on the left side of the yoke should be bound to INCREASE AP PITCH HOLD REFERENCE and DECREASE AP PITCH HOLD REFERENCE. So I bind the two buttons that I normally use for trimming up/down on every other aircraft to those commands. It does nothing. (I understand that AP has to be off.) Then the tutorials say the barrel switch only works if the center button is depressed. But I have yet to find a function in the default controls menu that activates that center button. I see instructions about The Smoke On/Smoke Off, and Tailhook commands but they only affect the nose steering/AP on-off when I bind them. Nothing activates/depresses that little center button on the barrel switch. So as much as I love this jet, I cannot trim it. I can manually control the barrel switch with the mouse (and even then when I press the center button it does not show it depressing). Surely I am missing something…? Trimming is a basic function and should not require multiple switches, correct?
