hellking Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Trim up and down functionality is not working when I assigned it to my HOTAS Warthog. Trim left and right (wing down) are working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoetic6 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 They work fine to me. Sure you binded the right thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellking Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hmm.. I checked and re-bound them. Still not working.. If nobody else is having the issue, it must be related to my setup. Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Trim works fine for me. It is a bit slow, which is a good thing, for better precision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renhanxue Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If you've touched any of the emergency trim controls (NÖDTRIM, left side of the cockpit quite far back) that disables the normal trim controls completely. To get them back, you need to cycle the circuit breaker TRIMSYST. If the trim hat still isn't working after turning that off and then back on again that then there might be a problem somewhere.

Magot Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 On my side is all ok. Trim on WH work without problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Donkey Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I dunno what's up with mine, I cannot use the Trim nose-up or down, UNTIL after i pull open the breaker for the SYST/TRIM or whatever the breaker is called on the right hand wall, But after i landed i pressed F2 because i thought it was odd that my aircraft would trim out and suddenly start going DRASTICALLY nose down, or.... if i sped up, then it would drastically go nose up, and i would have to pull that breaker in mid flight while in the air all over again, .... Once i landed though i pressed F2, and noticed the left and right ailerons were twitching up and down rapidly and when my toebrakes were held down and on, i noticed that they would point downward (which i dunno that may be a feature to help stabilize it while braking.... but i think it's odd that the brakes are affecting the movement of the outer-most ailerons (the ones closest to the wing-tips) and when i let go of the brakes they are twitching up and down out of sinc RAPIDLY!... i double checked axis section of the controls and everything LOOKS OKAY... but it could also be abug, so here's hoping the Dev's try this and see if they get the same issue,... I use a TM Warthog, without using any "TARGET" software, just manually mapped it to DCS Controls with button presses, and then, using a set of CH pro-products rudder pedals.

Wyatt109 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Experiencing the same issue here. I'm trying to do the startup tutorial and I can't progress because my trim won't move, despite it being clearly mapped (and recognized) in the controls menu.

CrimsonGhost Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have my trim bound to the trim switches on my Warthog. While they do work, the movement is so excruciatingly slow that for a wile I believed it wasn't working. Try holding down the command and watch the gauge on the left side of the cockpit. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrigan Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have trim bound to the WH hat as well and it's not slow for me. Are there several options perhaps? A slow and a fast.

Taintid Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm having the same issue, can't trim pitch at all. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Donkey Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 turn your view to the right 90 degrees and on the wall of the cockpit under the canopy-seal is a row of "push button fuses" click on the "SYST/TRIM" Fuse once to pull it out and then again to pop it back in and that will allow you to start trimming up and down again... (At least it did for me!) (Credit goes to Renhanxue from his post above which taught me what to do when you cant advance due to the trimmer not moving.)

hellking Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 00Donkey's solution fixed it! Thank you.. Now I can enjoy the plane without having to hold the stick down and creating oscillations with every move I make.. At a minimum, this seems to be a problem with how runway starts are setup..

Kayos Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have no trim up or down either on a hat switch. Tried the fuse thing but no go. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... checking the trim controls is a checklist item on the real aircraft as well, and if you accidentally touch the emergency trim controls cycling that SYST/TRIM fuse on the right is the by-the-book procedure for fixing that. The modeling is correct, but I agree that it's a subtle trap, especially if you're just getting started with the aircraft. The manual should be updated to mention that it's a thing that can happen.

hellking Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just to clarify, I am not doing a cold start. I am doing a hot runway start. Similar to other modules, you would expect the plane to be ready to take off with full flight control functionality in a runway hot start.

I read this and skipped over it in the manual. However today I revisited the tutorials and I clicked on the emergency trim by accident. No matter how many times I cycled that CB I was unable to get the normal trim system moving. Will try and recreate tomorrow and see if I need to file a bug :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm having the same problem. Back to DCS after a bit of a break, Fresh to the Viggen and really wanting to fly it, as rather fond of it. So want to go through the training missions. Including cold start. Not touching anything until told to. Not even going near the Emergency Trim switches. I have nose trim mapped to my Warthog HOTAS joystick. Works perfectly fine on the P-51 etc. and can even watch the trim dials move on it when I trim. For the Viggen - nothing. Doesn't move the needle at all. Even used the keys and extra trim mapping on the Throttle. Tried pulling and resetting the Circuit Breakers mentioned above. But it will not change the trim at all. Means I'm stuck on the tutorial as it won't let me past the trim point. Tried altering the trim in the taxi and take off tutorials as well, and nothing either. Is the trim system broken at the moment? Anything else I can tr to get it trimmed? Cheers Stuntie [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabuzard Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Please check whether the needles do move, but extremely slow. Like 1 minute for the required 3°. There is another thread where people reported that issue. I had it myself 2 weeks ago. For some reason, I have changed nothing, the problem disappeared for me and the trim is moving fast now again.

QuiGon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's still slow as hell for me in 2.5 in every flight. In 1.5 this problem occured randomly for me. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Thanks that got it trimmed. Holly crap that's glacially slow! Took at least a minute and then the flashing box eventually disappeared. Would hate to need the constantly trim the Viggen if that's how slow it is. Cheers Stuntie [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabuzard Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah, it's a weird issue. As said, it disappeared for me for some random reason. Note that you can takeoff without trimming, you'll just need to pull more on the stick then. Just remember to pull gently. As soon as the aircraft reacts you can ease up on the control for a smooth takeoff without alpha warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldham Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Remember seeing something in razbams changelog about fixing trim being tied to framerate. wonder if that issue is also present in the viggen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
