Ok. I think I know what causes this. Is everyone with this problem got rudder pedals that don't return to centre like real anti torque pedals? Because I can 100% replicate the issue if my rudder pedals are centred. Centred normal start, not centred hung start.

The weird thing is that it all works fine for ages and then suddenly it doesn't. Been starting up all grand and then after a while, hung start doing everything exactly the same. It makes no sense. It's not the collective thing for me either. I've verified in the control window and physically.

Thank you Sir. I will look into this. Seems like a good solution.

However there is an option to disable that in the special tab. Seems an oversight if it doesn't include the OFF/IDLE gate. But hey ho. Not going to die on a hill over it.

It would seem that I can't move out of OFF into IDLE with a physical axis and have to use a keybind. I have a Virpil CM3 with detents. So with the option to automatically lift the finger lifts set in the special tab, should I not be able to push the levers out of detent? Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding, or is this a mistake?

How do you contact a moderator to have this topic moved back? This is not a Wishlist item request, I am asking a question about a feature standard to other modules that doesn't appear in to be implemented. Could the mod that took the effort to move this to a low traffic part of the forum also take the effort to answer the question?

I noticed in the HDU video, that there were no options for left/right/both eye in VR. I am left eye dominant, and have degraded eyesight in my right eye. When I view stereoscopic images it's fine, as my left eye compensates. However if I'm only getting the image to the right eye it won't. Every other module has this and it works. Is this function just not done yet, or do you intent to release like that? Thanks dC

The yaw on take off is one thing but the constant roll to the left with certain symmetric stores loadouts is another. Don't want that to get lost in this debate.

I'm going to second the people who are saying the tanks might be the problem. Using the instant action takeoff mission (TCTS pod is not loaded). Takeoff the roll to the left is present. Reset the mission and remove the tanks, aircraft is rock solid stable and maintains hands off straight and level. Although it is possible that the TCTS pod is also doing it, I didn't test for that. In both tracks I take off and turn towards way-point 1 and stabilize the aircraft. In the track with the tanks present I have to make two attitude corrections by the time I reach the lake. With no tanks it's stable. The roll is very slight but it is there with the tanks and not when you remove them. tanks roll left.trk no tanks no roll left.trk

Yup, having the exact same issue. Having to trim all the time. Thought the aircraft was supposed to be always "in trim". And usually it's always a left roll too.

A little yes lol... I just find the mechanical nature of it pleasing.

Haha! sadly true. I can still do a good few of those in my head. Always good as a confidence check though. 1:60 and drift rules are particularly handy still in sim flying. I've even been known to break out my CRP whizzwheel every now and then... just for fun :lol: And you're probably on the money about the busting the MMo as well as the ATC in the F-18 can't hold above mil power so you can't really get above M1.0 Like I said in my edit above... and I am totally guessing here, but I think TAS would offer you less granularity (if i'm using that word correctly) in coordinating with other aircraft, think formation flying here. The difference between say M.88 and M.89 is larger then one unit of TAS. But I'm totally guessing with that. Maybe a military flyer could offer insight? It's not the first time I've seen TAS referenced in military flying, so they proably have a good reason for choosing it over mach.

Except for, wind vectors, fuel use calculations, or anything involving movement through the air mass... which is my I said. "Mental math rules of thumb" and Mach is just a function of True Airspeed :-) Edit: Stab in the dark... but I would think that the use of TAS gives you less granularity then the mach number to two decimal places perhaps? Making a couple of things easier in co-coordinating between other aircraft. Just guessing though. It's not the first time I've seen TAS referenced in military flying as opposed to civilian.

IIRC correctly this would be the same as A/T mode on airliners after changeover speed or above ATC speed restriction level. Edit: Some of the features we should be getting are actually very similar to Boeing airliner FCS pages. Top of climb best cruise and climb performance calculators and all that good stuff if you're used to flying tubeliners. An IAS hold would be more like a combat auto throttle which would hold an airspeed to give you wing performance. The F-18 (if my reading of the NATOPS is correct) only gives you Cruise and Powered Approach mode. In cruise though you'd want TAS to be able to do your rules of thumb mental math for navigation with IAS being relatively useless for that at altitude.
