Pitch trim assignment?

[Hetstaine]

VKB Gunfighter Modern Combat Stick, pitch trim assigned to pov hat by default. Up=pitch up, Down=pitch down. In game this does nothing. F86 and P80. Changed to a rotary axis on my VKB Stecs miniplus II, works, but only at the very top and very bottom range of the axis in game. Does nothing for 90% of the rotation of the axis and then pitches up like crazy or down just as crazy. Pitch trim is assigned in three places in settings, Manual, Servo and one other that escapes me.

What am i missing here? Can it be a button or an axis or does it have to be one or the other. Or, do i need a button that selects Manual mode first and then a seperate button/axis to actually adjust the pitch?

I don't think axes work for trim. Try these -

F-86

F-80

Works with my VKB modern combat hat-switch.

It does the same on my GVL throttle rotary axis, so I assume it doesn't work and I will need to assign a hat switch instead.

The Jets use servos to set trim, it's a button assignment not an axis.  The Mustang uses an axis for trim, like the real aircraft does.

Thankyou all! Got it sorted.

Yes, and for those that don't know, all the needed commands for each plane can be found in the handbook.
