This option is a $19 addon, it allows you to magnetically attach the trim wheel controller to the underside of your table top. The mounting plate attaches either with 3M VHB double sided tape (included) or by using screws (not included) to the underside of your table top. The controller will then magnetically attach to the mounting plate, allowing you to install or remove the controller in seconds. The desktop clamp is also included with this option.
I love the trim wheel. Especially how easy it was to set up, the attachment methods provided and the feel of the wheel itself in your hand is very realistic. The friction is just like the real Cessna wheel.
I have been looking for a real-a-like trim for a LONG time. As a pilot IRL I can say that the trims in current sim system are complete shit and are very different in feeling and behavior from the real ones. The trim is an ESSENTIAL control that is being used ALL THE TIME and therefore it’s super important.
This system is great! Affordable, well-built and accurate. While 3D-printed and not made of “high-end” plastic like the ones of the “big” gaming hardware companies – it is very solid, and WAY more than simply ”good quality” built.
This product is awesome and I’m happy to have bought it. Moreover, it’s great to support the endeavor of a “one-man company” when the product is good.
Biggest issue I have with any sim is lack of realistic yoke & trim controls, both feel and sensitivity. The Flight Sim trim wheel simply eliminated the issue as to trim. Great piece of kit, quick calibration in X Plane and the 182 in the sim flys a lot like my real plane, the overly sensitive trim is just gone.
This trim wheel is plug-and-play and works exactly like it should with minimal setup. Makes trimming for straight-and-level flight a breeze and eliminates the over-sensitivity and under-sensitivity issues that some simulators have with an electric trim switch. The only issue I had was that the 3D-printed bracket holding the potentiometer onto the control wheel gear broke off with very little pressure. I made sure the potentiometer was centered and super-glued it back into place, and I haven't had any issues with it since.
Hey Nicholas, I am happy to hear you are enjoying the controller, I am sorry about the broken part though, please get in touch with me if you ever have any issues with it for a replacement, as this is not typical nor acceptable, I apologize!
Cheers,
Shawn
The build quality and functionality of this trim wheel is great on MSFS 2020. It feels a lot like the trim wheel in my Cardinal. Very accurate. Setup was simple too. Fast shipping and very grateful to Shawn for answering my pre-purchase questions.
