trim-centering (suggestion)

Hello there,

I did some testing the last few days and have a suggestion for the control of the elevator-trim.

At the moment i handle the trim with two buttons on my joystick (auto repeat enabled). Thatīs quite OK for slight corrections but I donīt like it for greater, aprupt changes in velocity. (by the way - using the thrust-leveler hat itīs advantages here but my one wasnīt isnīt sensitive enough and I usually use it for the airbrakes)

What about imitating common practice in real gliders? There you often have some kind of "trigger" to center the trim-springs to the actual stick-position. My idea for the simulator is to fly the desired speed with the yoystick, press a button (to set the trim) and take the joystick to the self centered position. The speed stays the same. For fine adjustments you could use the trim-up, trim-down buttons like they are now.

I hope that was understandable ;-)

Kind regards

Mario Nolte
