elevator trim isnt working

Make sure numlock is on for 1 & 7 to work, or reassign the trim to other keys

i tired that, it didnt work. also, when i first load the aircraft, the trim is centered, then after a few seconds, the trim slowly goes up on its own, and then wont move

The Elavator Trim should be by default set to HOME and END. If it's not, Re-assign it to those keys.

it doesnt move no matter what keys you assign it to. it doesnt work with the mouse or the joystick or the keyboard. it wont let me adjust the trim at all. it does it with every plane ive tried and its pretty much impossible to fly like this. even with me holding the stick full forward it still pitches up so much the plane stalls.

ok, i was messing around with it some, and found that if i hold down 7, i can then use the mouse or joystick to adjust the trim. but as soon as i let off the 7 key, the trim goes right back to full up. this makes no sense at all to me

i just tried flying around with something holding down the 7 key. and the trim stayed wherever i set it, which was good, but as soon as i hit any other key, (i guess it overrides the 7) the trim goes back to full up.

Any chance you've assigned something else to the same keys? Maybe you should restore the defaults for all the key assignments.

tried that already. besides, even if it was assigned to another key, it wouldnt change on its own, and the mouse would still be able to change it

is this on a downloaded aircraft or on the defaults?

Disengage the autopilot

autopilot isnt on, and i cant adjust it with the plane running, off, flying, taxiing, of idleing. HELP!

He knows that.

Maybe Re-calibrate your joystick?

Also, what type of stick are you using, and do you have the patch installed for FS9?

i installed a new video card yesterday, and now it doesnt do it 🙄 i dont know why, but it works now, so im happy

thanks

btw, that was me "guest" with the problem.

My father's computer is doing the exact same thing. I am trying to fix it for him, but so far, no luck. Has anyone had any similar problems with an unresponsive elevator trim? If so, how have you circumvented it? [I'm hoping a new video card isn't necessary!] Thanks!
