Force Trim Button not working

Post by seba0412 » Sat Oct 29, 2016 8:54 pm

After few months i was installed my Bell 407 (vA1.160115).
I was assigned trim button in menu manager, but in flight button is not working.
I remember that few months ago it was worked.

What can be wrong?
I fly on P3D v3.

Yes. Hydraulic is ON. Besides, i start with "Ready to fly" state.

The same problem is with MD530.

Make sure your P3D controls are set to run on DirectInput not Raw Input.

Go to your P3D controls page, and click on the Other tab at the top next to Axes. You will be able to change from there.

Please put this in your sim gauges folder. It will pop up a dialog window when you press the button you have assigned.

I was replaced this file as you told, but still no "force trim".
Dialog windo also didn't pop up.

Are you running P3D as admin? If you upgraded recently you may need to redo that setting. Right click on your P3D, select properties->Compatibility->Run this program as administrator.

No, still no go. :(

P.S.: Very strange, because F100, and F-4E work like a charm, with all assignments maked in ACM. Only Bell 407 and MD 530 have problems with "force trimmer"

Ok lets go a little deeper and see if the gauge is actually reading the file where the joystick assignment is made.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e567e2k1j9jw4 ... F.dll?dl=0

Put that into your gauges folder. When you load the 407, a popup window should come up showing something like this: joystick:X:button:X. Then go to your sim directory\Milviz\B407\Controls.ini and see if the X value matches the device and button numbers in the Controls.ini.

Yes. The values in controls.ini, matches exactly with popup window.
