Trim Bias
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2018 1:37 pm
I understand the feature already implemented in the stick to re-trim by using the trigger to reset the stick to give an offset or to take account of the stick being placed at an angle
What I would like to see is a variable trim being introduced that could place a bias on the axis inputs but implemented via a hat, so a hat could be held down and this would place a bias on the axis in the direction pushed on the hat.
It would also be useful if the bias could then be reset to zero via pushbutton. I already have a conventional stick which can do this and it's useful for trimming aircraft that do not have a trim on a particular axis, eg: the German Bf-109 and Fw-109 did not have any aileron trim so it makes it tiring to constantly have to apply a counterforce to negate the engine torque constantly dipping the wing
