Programming Your Flight Simulator

As previously encountered above, a picture is worth a thousand words. I will use photos extensively throughout the programming procedure.

First; make sure the Trim Wheel's USB Connector to an unused USB Port. And that all Optional equipment is also installed.

 

When Flight Simulator is RUNNING, Click on "SETTINGS" then "Assignments"

 

 

Programming the Elevator Trim Wheel

 

Now is the time to program the Trim Wheel into your FS2002 or FS2004 Flight Simulator. Below is the Assignment Window of the FS2004. To program the Trim Wheel, just highlight "Elevator Trim Axis"; then click "Change Assignment". As seen below, a secondary window will appear. To assign the trim wheel just move the wheel either UP or DOWN. The text "Z Rotation" will appear. Notice that you also need to Click on "Reverse". Then Click OK. 

 

ADDITIONAL INFO: 4/16/2008 - When programming your USB Trim Wheel you need to delete any Default settings that your Flight Sim might add. To do this; with FS running, click "Settings" then "Assignments". Under "Buttons/Keys", scroll down (under USB Adapter) and delete ALL Button Assignments. These are not used with the Trim Wheel and might cause problems with other Panel Assignemtns.
