With SAS on (or trim, I can't remember which system, I haven't flown a Lima model since 2018), the Black Hawk has a heading hold function, which will automatically keep your heading within a few degrees until the trim release switches on the pedals are depressed. So you can (in theory) hover with you feet off the pedals. However, at least in my old unit, it was really rare. Most of us would just hold the trim release to hover, because we could hover better than the system could. The issue I'm having with it, is it doesn't ever seem to want to let go of the previous heading. If I do a slow pedal turn from a hover, then let off the pedals, it veers wildly back to the original heading from when I took off (or last time I clicked trim release on the cyclic). It behaves as if you were moving the pedals without putting your feet on the microswitches that are on the pedals. I don't know if it's a setting I'm missing, or a bad install, but if anyone else has had this issue, and been able to fix it, I'm all ears. Pedal trim release switches ↓

Ahhh… I get what you meant now. Yes, I should’ve read that more carefully. Also, I found the “Night After Christmas” poem in the FM file. Freakin’ hilarious.

I’m having trouble understanding how the trim system has been implemented for the sim. Flying above 60kts its flies like a dream. However, when hovering, I feel like I’m fighting the heading hold the entire time, unless I constantly click the trim release switch. Even holding the trim release switch doesn’t seem to disengage heading hold as it does in the real aircraft. So, is there a way to disengage the trim for just the pedals, the way the micro switches do in the real bird? I would like to bind the brake axis of my pedals to pedal trim release, so anytime my feet are touching the pedals, trim is released. Then when I pull my feet off the pedals (release brakes) it re-engages trim/heading hold. Is that possible, or am I asking too much? Really all I want is to be able to figure out why the aircraft fights me so much while doing a pedal turn during a hover.

I'm not sure if this was just a typo, but I noticed in the 2.0 manual it describes the Stability Augmentation System as having 50% control authority. On the actual UH-60L, each SAS has 5% control authority. Just nit picking, I know. From the manual: From Sikorsky's website: From the -10 of the Black Hawk:
