Yes, and the “autotrim” switches neither, plane to avoid till they solve it.

Same problem for me here in the middle of January. No pitch trim!

And more, the auto-trim and their switches like modern fighters does not work.

Hope it will be solved in the future, though, I have doubts of that, because the same paid model in FS20 has the same issues after many years, if I remember well.

The payware A-10’s previously available are by different (and in my estimation, lower quality) developers than the default aircraft included in 2024 - I’m optimistic that it may be resolved sooner than later.

13

Same issue here using the X-56 HOTAS. Once assigned to buttons on stick, they do nothing.

14

Yep, it’s not a controls issue - the aircraft was not modeled with elevator trim. Allegedly the developer has fixed it but it’s in a long backlog of changes waiting to be tested, verified, and published.

I am in the FS24 beta, and just tested the plane, and the A-10 had manual trim already, thanks, although the auto-trim doesn´t work still and nothing happens pressing those switches.

I’ll have to test as it definitely didn’t have manual elevator trim controls pre-SU1.

17

Just tested after getting the latest 2024 update and the trim function is working.

Yep, I think it was added in one of the last betas, I just never got to checking it.
