Ok, I use FSDS 3.5 for all my design work. I like how the elevator trimwheel spins in the stock DC3 in FS9. I don't like the anemic spin of the elevator trimwheel in MakeMDl's (I think) "Lever_trimtab"elevator" (?) which, even with keyframe animations turns imperceptably slowly.

Milton and others, do you know how to speed up the spinning? Thank you.

Yes, but I will have to look at one of my models after work to give you the exact tag to use.

On the dash 7 the trim wheel spins fast and many revolutions, but the trim indicator moves very slow showing the trim degree position.

trimtab_elevator = moves slowly on X axis

Lever_Trimtab_Elevator = spins fast on X axis

Milton, you always come through. Thank you. I can't wait to run home and try it on my planes.
