Unfortunately you're stuck with this limitation, the
"built-in" mixes have fixed assignments:
bfly - switch a down
ele->flp - switch c up (not even displayed)
flp->ail - switch d (up/null/down is settable)
ail->flp - switch g (up/null/down is settable)
Wait till you try to get entire trailing edge mixes
using the flp->ail. Because the mixes are limited
to 100%, you can't get equal throws with the flp->ail
mix without supplemental mixes, or by adjusting ATV
and the standard mixes (which is what I did).
Here are couple of examples of how to do this:
Example to increase aileron throw trailing edge response 40%: Set aileron ATV max
value to 140%. Set aileron differential max value to 70%, this results in aileron
stick response of 98% (70%*140%) close enough to 100% for practical purposes. For
2:1 up:down differential, the values would be 70%/35%, for 2.5 to 1, 70%/30%, etc.
Adjust the remaining aileron mixes as desired (flap->aileron mix will probably be
100%).
Example to decrease flap throw trailing edge response to 50%: Set flap ATV max value
to 50%. Adjust flap mixes as desired. Butterfly mix needs to be "supplemented" to
get full (100%) down throw. Set butterfly flap down throw to 100%. Use a
programmable mix, and set (throttle) abk->flap down throw to another 100%. This
results in butterfly response of 100% ((100%+100%)*50%). If flap->aileron mix is
set so that switch A up/down enables/disables flap->aileron mix, only one
programmble mix is needed (set link on), otherwise, use one programmable mix for
each flap (set link off).
