Elevator trim does not function in MSFS 2024

Re: Elevator trim not working
Hi,
The elevator trim in the Just Flight Hawk T1 doesn’t appear to function correctly in MSFS 2024 on PS5.The cockpit trim control visibly moves when commanded, but the actual aircraft trim remains at neutral and the MSFS HUD trim indication remains fixed at 0 / neutral.
Testing
I have tested the trim using three different input methods:- Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4
- DualSense controller
- Mouse/cockpit control
The result is the same with all three. The trim control/switch in the cockpit visibly moves when the trim command is made, but:
- the trim indicator remains at 0 / neutral
- the aircraft does not appear to receive the trim input
- there is no corresponding change in aircraft pitch trim
The controller binding has been checked and is correctly assigned.
Importantly, this issue occurs even when the HOTAS is completely disconnected, so it does not appear to be related to the separate HOTAS 4 input problems occurring after SU6.
Additional context
I am an ex-real-world Hawk pilot, so I’m familiar with the expected behaviour and feel of the aircraft’s pitch trim. The current behaviour is not simply a case of the trim having a small or subtle effect.Would be great if you could investigate whether there is an MSFS 2024/SU6 compatibility or aircraft-system issue affecting the Hawk T1’s elevator trim.
Thanks

Sorry to hear you're seeing any trim movements. I have just checked this on my side, and trim is definitely functional and indicated both in the cockpit and on the MSFS HUD.
As a first step. I would recommend increasing the "Trim Sensitivity" option on the EFB/Tablet (move the slider to the right). Further details on the Hawk's EFB tablet can be found in the dedicated manual here: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003464/Hawk_MSFS_Manuals.zip
If you continue not to see trim movements, could I kindly ask you to raise a support ticket for this with Just Flight Support at the following link, and one of our support team will be best positioned to be able to further assist: https://www.justflight.com/support

It's a similar for me. I'm running the PC version, streamed in SU6 on the GeForce Now platform.
The plane responds well to elevator trim inputs in flight, however, according to the MSFS cockpit/external HUD the useable range is about 5% up or down which equates to 0.25 degrees up and 0.75 degrees down. To get the trim through the full range takes around 200 seconds - I think this has been mentioned before.
According to the HUD, -2% if fine for level flight at FL160, 450 KIAS without external stores of any kind.
I can share a video if that would help.
