Hardware and software to enhance your flight simulator experience.

SimTrim

You turn off autopilot, touch your trim wheel, and all of a sudden, ‘snap’ your elevator trim position jumps to a new angle? SimTrim was designed to fix this ‘snapping’ issue, as well as adjust the sensitivity of both analogue and digital trim wheels.

3D Prints

A collection of 3D print models for use with flight simulator. Including a DIY elevator trim wheel which uses a hall effect sensor for superior and precise control of your elevator trim. As well as Piper Arrow lever replacements for your Bravo TQ.

Chat

A place to discuss or ask questions about both the software and 3D prints or maybe you want to talk about something else. Join us on diiscord where you can get help and advice from either me or one of the other members.

Explore the Sky with Our Free Flight Sim Resources!

As a flight simmer, you have most likely spent some or a lot of money on your setup, from various controllers and display equipment to full cockpits or sim pits, all in pursuit of greater control or increased realism. I think we need a break from all that expense. At Makers Point, we offer free flight sim stuff to help increase that realism without the need to rob a bank to achieve it.


✈️ Free MSFS Software

SimTrim is free MS flight simulator trim wheel software, which is a desktop utility designed to run alongside MSFS and solves the long-standing issue of “snapping” of your trim wheel, where your physical wheel is not synchronised with the virtual wheel in the cockpit, leading to a “jump” or “snap” which can be experienced on occasion.

It also has a great feature where the sensitivity allows adjustment on-the-fly (pardon the pun) for both analogue and digital trim wheels. Please see the Sim Hanger video below to see how it works.

🚁 3D Prints for Flight Sim Enthusiasts

Discover unique flight sim 3D prints you can create and customise for your simulation setup! From cockpit controls to other flight sim mods, find the perfect pieces to complement your flight sim station and enhance your realism for free. Whilst SimTrim is focused on MSFS for now, my 3D prints can be used with any flight simulator.

If you or a friend has a 3d printer, then you can print my models for free and benefit from their function right away. Some of these models are truly excellent, and I can personally vouch for their usefulness.
