LVAR For yoke trim rocker

bjratchf

Of course, ELEV_TRIM_UP/DN works just fine, it simulates turning the physical wheel. However I want to link my rocker on my hardware yoke to the pitch trim rocker, which should not work when "pitch trim" is switched off... is there a special LVAR for that?

Randolf

@bjratchf yes. The code that the aircraft uses for the trim rocker looks similar to this:

8 (>A:BUS LOOKUP INDEX, Number) (A:CIRCUIT CONNECTION ON:52, Bool) (A:ELECTRICAL MAIN BUS VOLTAGE:8, Volts) 12 > and
(L:var_PitchTrimPower, bool) and if{
(A:ELEVATOR TRIM PCT, Percent) 163.83 * 32 + 16383 min -16383 max (>K:ELEVATOR_TRIM_SET)
}

Bind this to a repeating button. You can adjust that number 32 in there for the speed of the trim movement, and make it negative to move the trim down.
Tested with Grand Duke variant.

If you use AxisAndOhs, I shared some templates here, including trims:

Thank you for your help! I think this is a bit over my head however- I do use AAO but when I imported your template into the turbine duke, the trim ran away to full nose up... I'm going to try to figure out how to turn it into an easy script to assign to a push button (my yoke trim rocker)

bjratchf

Oh wait... I figured out- I had to merge the template with what I had presently, and then assign a button afterward. It works now!

Randolf

@bjratchf you may need to rebind the actions from the template to buttons of your choice, as you most likely have different controller than I do. It probably got assigned to an always pressed or noisy button.

bjratchf

@Randolf you were right- it kept getting bound to my yoke. In any case, 32 seems to be the right speed in the turbine duke- after some testing in smooth air and config changes. Thank you very much!

dose any one know what the setting would be in spad.next
