I can do you one better: a video... I am remounting the base so it may take some time. Don't hold your breath.

Update: the problem still persists when "Invert-Y" has been checked.

Add trimming by default, FFB or not, is fine. The issue now is the trim direction, when the trim indicator is on the top half, the plane should nose down, but now, on F-14A/B and F-4E, the nose is up! And when the trim indicator is at the bottom half, the nose dives! This is not normal. And so far, no other plane exhibits such problem, even Heatblur's own AJS-37! To put it back into context, I have swapped the X and Y-axis.

Well, happy to report MB-339A trim works as expected, A-10C II seems to be so. It is a good idea, and I need to check if other HOTAS software can do the same or not. And my problem is more about how F-14 and F-4 implement trim, it seems to be hardcoded.

Would I test Mirage F1, A-10CII and L-29 make you feel better?

Turning on/off FFB trimming on F-14 has no effect on the problem. I am going to try the "Invert Y" under "FFB Tune" setting.

More or less as you expect. This is my report to Heatblur: I am using a Moza AB9 and due to some arrangement, I am swapping the X with Y axis. I have done the followings: Assign Pitch to X-axis, inverted Assign Roll to Y-axis In "FFB Tune", check both "Swap Axis" and "Invert X" The problem is, the trim is still reversed, "Up" on the control indicator actually pitches up, rather than the usual down. "Down" on control indicator, in the same logic, pitches the plane down. I tried all 4 combinations in "FFB Tune" but the results are the same. So, when the plane starts in flight, the plane automatically goes up due to the trim issue. The same thing happens only to both F-14 and F-4E. I have tested AJS-37, F/A-18C and they have no such problem with trim, both trim up and down behave normally as expected. —————- I also test, after the message with F-15C, AV-8B NA, F-15E and Mirage 200C, all trims behave as they should be.

Update: the trim still messes up when I swap the axis. When F-14 and F-4 starts in-flight, the trim is forward by default. Regardless X-axis is inverted or not in the "FF Tune" option, the plane pitches up. Since this problem only affects 2 planes, I am not sure if I unswap or not. Definitely a Heatblur's problem.

Found it before I read your post. But big thanks anyway. I just test it. In order not to confuse the whole world, including myself, after selecting swapping, the stick swings in the right direction now. Thanks again I can make the turn now. I think I need to remount the base on the chopping board then.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for your reply.

It may not about trimming at all, it could be that Heatblur just hardcode Y-axis moving forward in flight. Will try "swap axis" before writing to Heatblur. Because no other plane, helicopter has this problem. Now I need find this FFB dialogue box.

or SoonTM No problem, I am known to have patience.

I think I need to talk to Heatblur.

When I see it is your post, I thought it were the new version being ready...

Some how, I saved the track. OH-6A Spiral of Death.trk

Yes, special settings have been set. It worked properly before. I did swapped the axis, x for pitch and y for roll, but the stick is still tilt forward when in flight, not when the profile is loaded. I guess it may be the plane was programmed to "push y-axis" when in-flight. The fun thing is so far F/A-18C is not affected by the swap.

Turned the base to 90 degrees, with power button on the left, tested F-14B, F/A-18C and F-4E and then turned it back. I have a 20cm goose-neck extension. Good mostly physical part: 1. Much comfortable in using the HOTAS, as I have an Ikea "sofa" without any cut-out. In my setup, it was really comfortable to pull and not so bad when pushing. 2. The rudder and the keyboards could also get closer tool. Not so good: 1. On F-14B and F-4E, when started flying, the stick tilted to the left! (which was "forward" in Y-axis), I don't think it has something to do with software but I have no idea which part, not so much on the F/A-18C though. Strange.

This is a marvellous idea! Since my so called floor "mount" is very moveable, I can try it first thing tomorrow.

The AIM-120 on the belly does not shown to be depleted after firing. Also, any chance to include the AIM-152 weapon mod? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326837/

Thank goodness I am not using the Viper in the next in the series. BTW, subscribed!

Any preference or experience with profiles to use with FC3 Red planes?

I know, but it was long overdue. Not that I do not appreciate all the work being done on Syria map.
