HW-TRIM is in Reverse

#1 Post by aviatorGIO »

Hi! I'm having some trouble with the FI Motorized Trim Wheel (elevator trim). Unfortunately in Air Manager 4 is triming the oposite way. Is there any chanse to change the direction of travel?
Thanks!

Haven't heard that one before. Are you 100% sure? Rotating the wheel upwards should make you pitch down.

100% Sure it trims the other way. Rotating up will trim NOSE UP for some reason. With the old G-Step manual trim was working correct with an exception of when the AP was engaged. (X-plane11)

Fixed on the same way Turn indicator from FI did.

line 41
gbl_hw_trim = var_cap(value * -1, -1, 1)

:D
