Trim controls not working

[SharpeXB]

I have stick buttons mapped to these (elevator, rudder and aileron) but they won’t function in the game.

Although GB series has shorter list of controls compared to DCS for non-clickability reasons, it still does feature separate commands for analog vs electric trims (not to mention planes without pilot-adjustable trims, or no trims on ailerons whatsoever).

Are you sure you've got correct type of command assigned to correct category of trims?

Ha I’ve had this game for 13 years but it’s been that long since I’ve assigned controls. I just remembered how it works 😆 The buttons use the same assignment as axis commands.

Try to use "elevator trim axis" instead of separate buttons bindings to assign trim+ and trim- buttons. This worked fine for me. Had the same issue, solved it just yesterday.

Nothing stays in trim for long. I have to adjust mine after maneouvring, climbing, descending, accelerating or decelerating. Not how I remember it at all. 

The Me262 and Ar234 tend to be okay, but all the others are a bit crap.

But I have a Saitek X56 Rhino stick. And I think it is pants for air combat. All the spring tensioners are the same and the hall sensors have two setting. Twitchy or dull and lifeless. I can't get any kills in turning or deflection dogfights anymore. Thinking of going back to my old X52
