Setting Trim

I should know this but, in CFS2, what is the relatioinship between keypresses and trim settings?  Is it one degree for each keypress or something else?

In my experience it's blind guesswork. I'd love to be proved wrong.

What I have done with most of the aircraft panels I make is to always include an elevator trim gauge, so that you can see the result of the trim input you are making. Most of my stuff has been with Jets on the FOX-FOUR Korean Air War site, so elevator trim is really your main concern.

We're now doing an A-26 Invader Campaign, so I've put Aileron and rudder gauges on my panels for that one. I believe I did the same with the Sea Fury.

These gauges are available, and it's fairly easy to install them in any Panel. If you're having trouble doing that on your favourite aircraft, then just download a FOX-FOUR aircraft and steal our gauges.

well looking at the trim position gauges provided with the OH_aircraft (by B24 Guy) it seems to be approximatly 0.03 to 0.04 somethings, units of measure are not provided ;)
What do I do you ask? I struggle! Then destroy! Then try to put back together what I just broke on accident.....
