Is this a chance to add trim for axis planes ?
Axis planes trim

this would require modification of the FM, which 99% of people on this site, and others are STRICTLY against.
Particularly if this is added to aircraft which historically did NOT have them.

Hummm, if i remember, they had trim, but preset on ground and not movable by pilots....

Hmm.... ok.

Yes, trim was set on the ground, using, well, Flettner Tabs.

Yeah, I would like to trim my aircraft for higher cruise speeds than 300 kmh, because I rarely cruise at that speed. Something like 400 to 500 kmh would be better.
Make it an option in the armament screen... and while we're at it editable gun loadouts! (I know the impossibility of this, just dreaming) :wink:

This is why there needs to be a tight handle on how far MODDING goes. Next thing you will purpose is modifying the 108 ballistics, or adding a few knots because your have some engine compression readings etc.. It's a slippery slope... Just because you had trim on the ground doesn't mean you should be able to have it in the air, since it can;t be modded just for use on the ground IMO.

You have to remember that cruise is normally around 65%-75%, not running around at 80-100%. lol Thats why the trim is set the way it is. Cruise is for saving fuel and the engine. Most of us would get our butt's kicked by the crew chief and probably not be flying because our engines would be crap from inproper CEM.

B-17 doesn't have rudder trim (in game... now).
It had that kind of trim in real... I'm sure

Yes it does..it just takes a LOT (dam thing wants to fly sideways if you leave it to it's own devices).

need to adjust engines seperately to fly straight. Just like the real ones

You don't adjust engines to control yaw in flight in multiengine aircraft. Trim is used for setting pitch and yaw.

Yes Axis plane trim

The Axis planes didnt have pilot controlled trims, except for elevator. So adding it to those planes which didnt have it would not be realistic.

IF the plane didn't have a certain axis of trim, then it shouldn't be added. That is crossing the line IMO. You have to use your rudder to compensate.
One of the aircraft I fly at work has no rudder trim. I spend 8 hours a day on the weekends climbing, holding right rudder for 30 minutes at a time. It sux. My foot goes to sleep, my leg gets sore and I wish I had rudder trim. It's just one of those things you have to deal with.
