Centering trim wheels

Postby kemosabe » Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:50 am

i'm using CH Eclipse yoke, which comes with wheels to center trim for elevators and ailerons. I am not sure the wheels are working with FG. When I map Eclipse wheels, i see flickers but no solid indicators they are working. So, does FG itself include key command or otherwise that allows pilot to quick recenter trim wheels. thanks.

I could be wrong but if you go into the Joystick calibration tool. File drop down menu. See if your Yoke is in the list. Click on it and then identify your wheels. Click on one to open up the bindings and you will find as well as trim up, trim down you will also one to centre. Can't recall what it's called but they are grouped.
