Help with trim button

Post by davidzill »

Captains, I need assistance. I’ve read up on this and have yet to find a solution. I have a Thrustmaster Hornet stick. I would like to use the 4-way trim switch to control elevator/aileron trim. It seems to be bound by default to the view system. I use trackir so it is not needed. When I delete the view settings and try to set it to it to the trim, the control options only read it as a one way switch. Anyone know how to set my 4-way trim switch to control elevator/aileron trim, or if anything just elevator trim? Thanks!

@ davidzill ,

FSUIPC if you have the licensed product.

I use FSUIPC for all Assignments and Calibrations.

No need for the fsiupc, "Hat" switch can be assigned to the (POV hat) events in p3d key assignment panel.
Search for trim, look for elvator/aileron or elevator/rudder trim (POV hat) and assign the hat switch. On some aircraft the trim wheel will not move but I can guarantee it will work.
