Ability to trim your planes

[TrueKerbalnaut]

Ok this is somthing i think is IMPORTANT for KSP, being able to trim you planes

Have you ever made and airplane and started flying it around the world (or just a long distance) and had the plane slowly start pitching downwards? If u just left the controls alone you would eventually crash right.

Well this is why i want AIRPLANE TRIMMING please help me notify squad and get this to be a feature ingame because its so frustrating doing long straight flights on kerbin. So please help me notify squad about this

If you want more info on what trimming is just read this little bit of info its fairly simple: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/164/what-does-the-term-trimming-most-commonly-mean-in-aviation

You can also find videos on yt on how trimming works and its uses!

 

To squad: please add this its much needed. You could make it like and optional clickable button when u right click on a probe or a cockpit but man would this be useful. Besides real airplanes use this in pretty much every airplane today so why not add it in ksp?

I think Alt + X resets all the trims to 0%.

Look at the input dials in the bottom left of the screen. If you do not touch the controls, and have SAS off, those dials will show the current amount of trim

If you play stock, theres always gonna be something that is odd in your plane's flying characteristics. Just don't let go of the controls, as thats a very bad habit to pick up in flying games.
