Please Note: Installation of the 3010 and the 3015 with MS2020 should not be attempted by a Beginner Flight Simmer. On a scale from 1 to 10; this is a Level 8 project and should not be attempted by someone just starting out with flight simulation.
With that said; lets continue:
If you plan on using the 3010 or 3015 Trim Wheel with MS2020, you need to get a copy of the Sim-Connect code. It can be downloaded HERE:
It was also noted if your are using NORTON Virus software on your computer, NORTON may deem the code to be unsafe and delete it. The code is safe to use; you will need to turn NORTON Virus software OFF when unzipping the code and when Sim-Connect is running with MS2020.
When the Sim-Code is successfully downloaded and unzipped, the package contains full instructions where the code needs to be inserted into MS2020 flight sim Files.

Installation of Trim Wheel in X-Plane 10/11
To install the Trim Wheel Panels in X-Plane, SimConnect code is not needed.
Just do the following:
To change the elevator trim speed in the default 172, follow these steps:
Navigate to "Your File Path"\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Laminar Research\Cessna 172SP"
Open the file "Cessna_172SP.acf" with a text editor and search for the variable
"acf/_elev_trim_time" in the file
Adjust the number smaller to increase the sensitivity of the elevator trim Save the file and restart the simulator. 10 seems to be a Good number (changed from 20)
