109 elevator trim

Ok, so you're saying it is ok as it is now?

I'd like to see how you spin that wheel 5 turns in 2-3 seconds.

With this 'exploit', the 109 is way too manoeverable and you're actually winning turnfights with Hurricanes and you'll be able to hit Spitfires breaking hard while diving on them full speed. I fly all planes in game and I find this a severe issue, just like these nose ups with flaps down and other sci-fi physics.

Hi.
I'm using the trimm with axis (on of the small scrolling wheel on the throttle). When i roll the wheel from +8 to -3, it takes seconds. Much slower, than the stick movement...
You say, if i set the trimm to joystick main axis, it will be much faster? I can't test it now, but i am curious...

Hi Tom. No, it's the same speedwise. I am using mine just like yours, joystick axis I ment the wheel (which is a hotas axis, too), sorry about the confusion.

Ok, np.
Thx.

I´m sure you mean -8 to +3.

The following photo shows the tailplane incidence of the BF109E-3a WNr 2422.The photo was taken at the Swiss Air Force Museum in Dübendorf.
