Extremly sensitive pitch trim SU8 beta
-

Could everyone be more specific on this. How are adjusting the trim? By mouse in the cockpit? By hardware? If by hardware, what are you using to control it, the built in control options or 3rd party software?
Reason I ask is I use spad, and have never had any issue with trimming or whatever this "pitch jerk" thing is. A similar issue was brought up about another plane, and when I changed my settings from spad to the sims control options for the trim I saw what was being talked about.

@jmarkows Are you also using the SU8 beta? We currently support only SU7 so it'd be good to confirm if this issue is affecting SU7 users too.
As above, it'd also be useful to know your trim control method. I have no issues with trimming for level flight with buttons assigned to trim up/down events, so does this only affect the axis event?
-
@martyn Yes, I am using SU8.
I have two methods of trim: the wheel on the Logitech Multifunction Panel, which still works tolerably well because of the fine control it gives, and the trim up/down commands on my yoke that cause the wild swings. The wheel on the Logitech isn't an axis I don't think.

Will give it a try later today, thanks for getting it uploaded and posted.
Question: what do you mean by "electric trim button is off?" When I use the tab on my yoke for trim up/down I see the button on the VC yoke move, which I assume is the electric trim, but I have no idea how to turn it off.

Martyn,
Thanks for putting together and releasing the hotfix. The heading bug is how working again, and the pitch trim is definitely better l, though still far more sensitive than it was previously. I'm only adding a little bit, just a tap on the up/down switch, but it has a drastic effect. I don't immediately go flying up or down anymore, but climb attitude and level flight are certainly using far less trim now.
Not sure if that's intentional or not with the new flight model. I'm just used to the old one and I have no experience with the real thing to know either way
Although, I'm having an issue with the heading bug; it used to increment by one with each "click," now it will randomly start jumping by 10 or more and go flying around the DG. It's useable, just annoying, and it didn't happen previously.

Maybe it's a bit sensitive, but for my part, I'm super happy that I'm finally able to use my Bravo trim wheel and feel like it's actually doing something. haha

We can easily remove the acceleration feature.
Thanks very much for that.....MUCH better!
Is the acceleration removed in the 10.3 installer? The notes don't say one way or the other.

I've spent a few more hours in the Arrow since the update. I'm not using anywhere near the range of travel with the trim, either forwards or backwards, since SU8 and the 10.3 update as I was before it. It's better than it was immediately after SU8, but it's still pretty sensitive and I'm happy I have the wheel in the Logitech Multi Panel instead of needing to use a trim up/down button.
Is this sill being looked at, or is it in a state you guys are happy with? I freely admit I have no real world flying experience, just the hours I put into the Arrow pre-SU8 as a comparison, but going from a lot of nose down for cruise to being able to blow on the wheel seems like a drastic leap.
