    What's the purpose of having two aileron trim switches? I have it bound to my stick trim hat, but wondering what purpose a pilot would use the upper or lower switch on their own?

    Is there two just for redundancy?

    Or would you use one switch for fine control, then two switches for faster movement? Or do they actually do two different things to the trim tabs?

      @taipan303 In the real aircraft they both have to be moved to operate the aileron trim. Moving either one individually results in no trim change. I can't find any explanation for why that is in my manual here.

        @martyn interesting thanks, I actually bound them both to my Trimmer switch. Maybe they did that just to differentiate it easily.

        I've managed to map almost everything in the Cockpit thanks to the easily accessible LVARs. The only LVAR that doesn't seem to work is the barometric setting on the standby altimeter, assuming it has some other code that moves the digits and needle simultaneously.
