Brief description of the issue:

After watching some videos other people also mentioned the trim being way too sensitive.
But the rest still applies to me. The Turtle Beach VelocityOne has a trim wheel which works really well in other planes. However in the Antonov the smallest movement causes the plane to pitch up or down excessively. The dial for vertical speed goes to it’s limits instantly, down and up.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Use the trim wheel on the VelocityOne for the aileron trim in the An-225

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

simply put, trim is way to sensitive.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Don’t use the trim wheel, use the pitch control.

To be honest, I don’t know what’s the difference. Can you explain what you mean?

Difficult to explain in a few words, but I found a YouTube video, Antonov 225 Autopilot Explained | Real Airline Pilot - YouTube in which it will become clear, I highly recommend this channel to understand the AN-225.

yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

The same behavior is if you simply map pitch trim to joystick buttons. Whenever you fly the aircraft manually, with no autopilot, every tiny pitch trim button click changes the pitch dramatically, making it impossible to stabilize the aircraft in manual flight.

Yes, but using xbox controller. Controller is not the issue it’s the trim control on the airplane.
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

the minimum amount of trim you can use is ‘one click’ using the trim button in the cockpit. However ‘one click’ seems to move the elevator near full deflection in either direction, resulting in a sudden climb or descent of 2000fpm or more.
The aircraft is virtually impossible to hand fly
