vPilot and Honeycomb Alpha

This is good advice, and worth elaborating on. Because of the “constant on” problem of some of the default switches on the Alpha Yoke, it is causing many inputs, such as Heading adjustments, Altitude adjustments, and other buttons and dials, including the Trim button to over-react. If you watch the trim wheel in the cockpit of, say, the 172… and you apply very quick pressure on the trim button, you can see the trim wheel move, usually in a small increment. But then if you hold pressure on the trim button, you’ll see it move slowly, and then take off like a buzz saw. The problem is… you don’t know which of those two speeds the trim is being applied when you just press it quickly. This problem will persist until MSFS gets their speed multiplier problem sorted out. The Bravo Trim Wheel does not suffer from this problem.
