Trim in UP3.0

[=CfC= Binks]

Been having a bit of a do with my joystick recently chaps. In UP 3.0, I have to trim down quite a lot to keep level flight. Net result is that I cannot pull a full elevator climb or turn, without trimming back up again, as the range of movement on the joystick doesn't allow it. In DF mode, this is a real pain, as the trim doesn't react quickly enough. Alternative is to fly with the stick pushed permanently forward, to stay level, equally as much of a pain. Does anyone have any tips on how to counter this? The joystick is a Saitek Cyborg Evo force..

Pip pip.

Does this happen with a particular aircraft or all of them Binks? I know the Spitfire had its trim settings changed with the 4.10 patch but
i haven't noticed it very much on the other kites.

Have you re-calibrated you stick recently? Pretty much all sticks acquire a bit of drift over time and need re-calibration from time to time. My CH kit requires it every few weeks.

Pip, pip,

Happens on all aircraft Conky, which has led me to believe it's the stick. Trying to re-calibrate, but apparently the software only works with Win XP, not 7. Looking for an update.

I say Binks old chap........presumably you have tried what Saitek offers on their support page here:-

The blurb talks about XP but you can select Windows 7 64bit in the box and presumably this should offer you the correct driver?

Hope you get it fixed!
