FS2002/FS2004 Autotrim Gauges. These transparent gauges strengthen the effect of the elevator by continuously setting the elevator trim axis to a percentage of the actual elevator axis position. This percentage is dependant on the flaps position, since more additional trim is needed for higher extended flaps, to give good elevator control over the whole flight envelope. When the gauge de-activates, it sets the trim to neutral. Obviously, when the gauge is active, user trim commands are ineffective since they are immediately corrected. The gauge (i.e. trim control) is only active when the autopilot AltHold is off (to allow the AP to control trim). The gauge activates when main panel is shown and then stays active at all times no matter what vew of the aircraft you have. By Alejandro Villa. Public Domain.
