Flying C172 on iPad with Dualsense Controller

  • Hello, first post here. Enjoying (mostly) flying Cessna 172 on iPad Air M3 mostly with Sony Dualsense controller. Looking for some help please:

    1. The screen prompt indicates that pressing the A(X) button should engage the copilot. I have not been able to engage the copilot using the controller at all during any phase of flight. It works when not using the controller. Are there special procedures to engage copilot when using a controller?
    2. The screen prompt displays an icon unfamiliar to me for going to settings. I assume this is a shortcut vs backing out and navigating through the menus. What are the controller buttons to do so?
    3. Is there a trick to manipulate the trim wheel on the 172? My success rate is less than 1 in 10 to get it to adjust at all. it would be great to have controller access to trim. I would prefer not to depend on auto trim.

    Thanks in advance.
