Trim

[Gavvinwarder]

I am having a problem with trim in the a10. Was wondering what trim to nose is. No on seems to know, it is bound on my hotas from the dcs profile. Any help would

be great.

But what is your problem? You didn't say that.

Trimming works fine.

The TRIM hat binds should be located in the HOTAS (or stick) sub category of the A10CII controls menu.  They are the standard four bindings:  NOSE UP, NOSE DOWN, RWD, LWD.  Depending on what physical HOTAS you are using, it is possible to accidentally bind one of the aforementioned commands incorrectly (i.e binding NOSE DOWN to one of the 8 way hat positions on the TMWH rather than the 12 o'clock, or forward position).

If you are having troubles with trimming the aircraft out, and have verified that they are indeed bound properly - ensure that you do not have "game mode" checked as I believe GAME MODE doesn't allow for proper trimming of aircraft.

The above are a few "shots in the dark" as you didn't really clarify the problem you are having - just a generalized statement (that was fairly vague).

Also check to make sure force feedback is not enabled if your problem is trimming the aircraft

I had a feeling that the question was more basic, like "what is Nose down trim for?". I might be wrong of course, no offence intended.

Gavvinwarder should probably rephrase the question to be more explicit.

i guess your just asking what trim to nose is?. basically does what it says

Nose trim down (when pushed) "drops the nose" - Nose trim down.

Nose trim up (when pushed) "lifts the nose" - Nose trim up.

 

The trim switch on the A10C works like most other aircraft with a trim switch.

If you change thrust or speed the balance of your aircraft changes. So you constantly have to pull or push the stick.

You can "trim" those constant stick forces away with your trim. So if you have to push the stick all the time, you trim "nose down" until you dont feel the control forces anymore.

Hope this helps you. cheers!
