We need some kind of trim system

I’m not surprised that there’s no in-cockpit trim system, since the real 47 doesn’t have one. However, I am VERY surprised that MSFS’ push-button trim binds are disabled from working. Most of us are using a stick and pedals with centering springs that we have to fight full-time in order to fly this heli straight, and I’m not going to use the product much long-term if I have to do that. (My understanding is, the real 47 has no springs, just control damping, and is very stable even with hands off the controls.) For the same reason you made a fake engine governor, at least allow MSFS’ built-in trim to work.

That’s a great request, I’ve put it on our list :+1:

I totally agree on that,I have no rudder pedal setup and constantly twisting my X52 Pro grip while finetuning with the cyclic is nearly impossible to sustain for longer flights.

I really enjoy flying this helicopter, but currently I mostly do short flights and practice near the airport.

NeoFly has some helicopter missions so I was excited doing some of those, but I did not enjoy flying from the airport to the mission location (about 30nm). So yeah I would love to have trim options as well!

Can I suggest some kind of force trim release as used in various real aircraft. A button is pressed which resets the datum of the spring. In the sim the control could be returned to centre while force trim is selected but the position of the controls is fixed from when the button is pressed.

Hi @aicop / @Nezza and welcome aboard.

Thanks for your input and I am sure that Dan will take it into account when adding the feature to the Bell.

Do you play multiple games? I would hate having to remove the spring and then reinstall it on my warthog every time I change games or aircraft.

Or… they can add in a trim button that is the standard across many flight sims and that several do for this exact reason of hardware centering springs.

How do you remove the springs from a xbox controller that some people use? A centering control trim button would be the difference between just being able to fly it somewhat normally or not.

+1 for some trim control please! - either hotas hatswitch, to nudge forward, backward, left/right as per planes, or a trim button same as the one the use in DCS for the Huey, which fixes the current axis positions allowing you to return the axes to neutral? I know its not realistic in the 47 to have this trim but it helps simmers with joysticks and the use of it is purely at the discretion of the gamer.

Already implemented mate, it’s the msfs standard trims and you can assign them to your joysticks trim tab :slight_smile:
