      I've had a good old trawl through the forum but haven't found anyone mention the trim AXIS being reversed,
      I use the Saitek trim wheel and for every other aircraft rolling forward is nose down and rolling backwards is nose up. This also applies to assigned joystick buttons. Example. Button X is assigned to nose down and button Y is assigned to nose up. In the aircraft the opposite happens. As far as the trim wheel is concerned I can go to FSUIPC and reverse the axis fot that session. But, as you can imagine, that wears thin pretty quickly.
      I surely can't be the only one!
      Cheers, Ron
      That of course is for all the Arrows.

        @ron-attwood See the change log (https://community.justflight.com/topic/1806/update-change-logs-v0-10-1-released-edited-19-11-21)

        The trim axis was reversed in version 0.10.0 to match the default aircraft... Do you have the latest version installed?

          @retiredman93231 Yes I do. All that was mentioned in that update was the range of travel in the axis.
          .Elevator trim axis has limited range - fixed

            @ron-attwood Under Version 0.10.0 it lists this change...

            • Elevator trim axis direction reversed to match behaviour of default aircraft

            I just checked the Arrow III trim wheel movement on my system using the Mouse Scroll Wheel, assigned Up/Down yoke buttons, and a Cessna Trim Wheel... and they all move the trim wheel in the correct direction.

              True. in V0.10.0 it was fine. add a 1 to that and it doesn't.

                You had me doubting my sanity for a while there. So I went and loaded an Arrow III and sure enough, roll the wheel forward and the trim go nose up. Roll it backwards and the nose goes down. Go into FSUIPC and reverse the trimwheel axis and it works as it should.
                So what I get from that is while fixing the limited travel bit they reverted to the previous bug of reversed trim.
                I would have tried the Version 0.10.0 but I couldn't see the point of keeping a broken plane so I deleted that version. I'd hope a developer might have seen this. I'll raise a ticket instead.
                Thanks for trying to help though.
                Cheers Ron

                  @ron-attwood I don't doubt that you are having a problem... but, I am currently using v0.10.1, as you are, and everything is working correctly...? The trim direction is exactly the same as it is on the default MSFS aircraft, like the C172.
