Trim speed painfully slow
-
@petze I've found a third party software called authentikit tuning app has a preset for the honeycomb bravo trim wheel that fixes this issue completely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx6KJ0dEtus It works by turning the trim wheel into an axes. Then you can set the rate but the preset is very good.

@bl52002 Be very careful when using a trim axis if you are not used to using one (as such).
It will now have memory between flights, and even using the autopilot for a bit will cause a (potentially large) discontinuity between where your physical axis is and where the virtual axis is.

Hi and sorry that I'm rather late joining this thread. I would concur with others here that the trim for the Warrior is very slow to activate.
I use a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X controller and have the POV button programmed for UP and Down trim and it does take a lot of presses (or holds for up/down) to get a response.I think that the Warrior is my main 'go to' aircraft and I really enjoy flying it - the ground handling, take-off and general flying are all good experiences with the exception of the trim.
Whilst I'm commenting, there is something else that has become a bit of a pain over the last six months and that is the nose of the aircraft seems to 'peck' up and down on a final approach. If I'm in cockpit view and sit back a little, I can see the yokes bobbing up and down slightly - even if I try to remain 'hands off' my own control stick for periods.
Not sure this was always the case? -
It’s a plus 1 for me on the extremely slow elevator trim. I am using the saitek yoke system, which has not been mentioned above. The timings for a full cycle of trim from neutral are in the realms of minutes as stated above. I’m going with unflyable

Painfully slow here too. X55
There should be 2 speeds, depending on flap state iirc but seems to go very slow.

The trim wheel is insanely slow for me as well. It's better in the Arrows. But the warrior takes minutes to trim. It's frankly unusable and I have to resort to using the mouse to move the wheel, which is an awful way to fly this plane.
This has nothing to do with hardware! I'm using the Alpha Yoke and the Warthog Throttle, but it's just as slow using keyboard num1 and num7. This really needs to get fixed.

@seanduffy Did one flight with the 146 yesterday. There was a small update to the sim and not sure if it was lucky but the trim worked fast when i set it on the ground, didn't check too much while in the air, but it felt normal/good.
-
Even doing simple patterns is problematic with the trim as it is right now! Completely kills my enjoyment.
I have to use the mouse to recover from slow flight in the warrior because trimming is way too slow for me too (minute+) with either the Bravo trim wheel or the electric trim button. Of course that completely messes up your view and destabilizes the airplane.
I hope something can be done that lets everyone play nice.

@petze Replacing the existing WASM gauge with this version should get the trim speed working correctly again whilst we finish work on the rest of the update: Download Here
The WASM gauge is located in \justflight-aircraft-pa28-warrior-ii\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_PA28_Warrior_II\panel\
