| PMSoares, I fly the CS 707 a lot and have found it pretty easy to trim the elevator by using my assigned buttons on the joy stick. I use very small taps on the buttons for up or down trim. The 727 trim is way more sensitive, but I am still able to keep it in trim with short taps on the trim buttons. MARKOZ had a fix in the FSX config file to make the trim a bit less sensitive, but I'll let him jump in here and tell us how he did that. The real 707 had only rudder boost, the other controls were moved by cable and push rods using control tabs and balance panels. The 707 was a fairly heavy plane in pitch and roll, but that is only when compared to later boosted controls. Normal small movements in pitch and roll were very comfortable with just one hand. Larger movements of the controls would need a bit more effort, but not that much. Lou |
I do it the same as Lou. Small taps on the buttons for up and down trim.
As for my fix in the FSX config file. I reduced the sensitivity of the buttons for trim up and trim down (see attached image). You could reduce them from the settings that I use, but I find it way too slow at the lowest setting.
