Any suggestions how I can "trim" on this set up....? Mainly use bomb laded fighters....

Thanks Guy's
what you do is level your plane point to the middle press x you will trim using x

Hi JR..........tried that my friend.....if in Wireless Controller (Option 1) , yes the X button set's the trim...she's nice and level.....But......in Aviator Setting Layout 3 (I think).....X...becomes the GunFire button and no longer sets the trim...

I can set the trim in Wireless Controller with X....flick over to Aviator Layout 3 and it's now set.....Until I crash / shotdown and I have to set it up over again....by this time Very annoying .......any other idea's ?

Default My approach

I get a lot of altitude, reduce speed, dive, drop the gear, hone in on the target, drop the bomb, gear up out of dive and repeat. In sim unless the bombs are huge it takes a bit of practice. I prefer the fighters (190f) or stuka. If you perfect defending youself while flying a bomb ladden fighter in sim mode let me know. I'm pretty sure every plane I choose pulls a target banner.

Hmmmm .......yeh...second thought's Bud.....why am I concerned about "trim"........Meeh.....I forgot...I have never got to the Target without being bulldozed out of the sky...and If i did...I have failed to spot them .!!! LOL....

Good Point ! oh the Joy of Sim....
