H125 trim doesn't function

EDIT: Asobo has stated that the H125 it has modelled has no trim. This is therefore a wishlist item, not a bug. Vote for that item here.

:white_check_mark: SIM INFORMATION

This is vital information for our test team, please do not skip it or your issue may not be able to be reproduced or fixed.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024: 2024

  • Version Build Number (Where do I locate that?): 1.1.7.0

  • Game Platform (Steam, Xbox, MS Store): Steam

:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Description of the issue:
    The trim for the Airbus H125 does not work, despite having “specific” controls built in within the settings, and a functioning button on the stick. The H125 should in theory have functional trim, and it’s modelled visually in the cockpit, however it doesn’t impact the flight profile. This has been reported elsewhere, e.g. on Reddit and on the Forum.

  2. If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: Airbus H125

  3. Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue? Yes

:white_check_mark: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you? (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)
Every time

:white_check_mark: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue.

  1. Load sim and H125
  2. Set trim controls in settings
  3. Note that while pressing the assigned button does also “press” the button visually on the stick in the cockpit, there’s no impact on the flight profile.

:white_check_mark: YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

  1. What peripherals are you using, if relevant: Thrustmaster Airbus joystick

  2. [PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it? No

:white_check_mark: MEDIA

Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.


The H125 has “specific” trim controls in the control settings. Indeed binding these controls does result in buttons moving in the cockpit (see TRIM REL depressed in the screenshot, for example).

Note first screenshot taken with controls unbound.

i noticed this too and it makes it much harder to fly than it should be, hype have a really nice trim function in their 145 for 2020, it’d be pretty nice to have a working trim release on every heli where appropriate - whats worse is it seems like the forward/back/left/right trimming that works on the G2 doesn’t work on the H125, i would say this basically makes this helicopter genuinely unflyable with most regular hardware at home, at least very uncomfortable, which sucks as it’s the only choice for a lot of the career

I finally unlocked SAR and my wrist is really hurting from basically full deflection in the H125 the entire time :sob: pls fix

definitely does not work.
for me it was impossible to obtain the patent for the use of the Hoist in this condition

• I am sure you guys understand the issue and will hopefully fix it. ALSO, have only tried flying the H225 once - and i crashed to desktop!

Same issue here. The trim hat in the cockpit says “N/A” and keybinds for it don’t work.

Force Trim also does not work in this helicopter.

I confirm this does not work for me too.

TRIM does not work. The helicopter is difficult to fly without TRIM. It is a big mistake on the developer’s part not to add it. I hope they fix it soon.

No trim works for this helicopter.

Same here, but, turns out the h125 doesn’t have trim standard, so this isn’t really a bug. They should probably add an option to set the cyclic to any given position as most people don’t exactly have a cyclic stick to work with, and pushing down on a joystick for 2 hours isn’t very fun.

Same problem.

Absolutely astounding that such a vital control system could be left out of a craft that’s so prominently features in the career mode.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I have just tried all other MSFS2024 helicopters, and they all have working longitudinal/lateral trim as well as force trim release (I think this is new in MSFS2024). It’s just the H125 that does not have any trim at all. Even if the real-life aircraft might not have trim functionality, int the sim it would make a lot of sense to enable it. Most people have joysticks with springs, and flying the H125 in cruise for any amount of time is very tiring.

What’s worse is if you read the description for several of these keybinds you will see several of them are just A** backwards/wrong. It’s like someone just threw all this stuff together and said we’ll fix it later… Not to mention there are duplicate binds scattered everywhere in the sim. It’s a hot mess for sure.
