Thanks for the comments! I'm using a vkb stick with 4" extension and my wrist is resting on my leg for my sim setup. Also using cyclic saturation at 50% to take advantage of the dynamic range of the stick. With this setup, the AH is pretty stable to control with two fingers on the grip but I'm sitting on a stationary chair. What with the real AH in flight making tactical takeoff/landings with the wind buffeting the aircraft, controlling the stick with finger tips would be pretty much impossible with this kind of control sensitivity? For this model, it seems mass of the aircraft and gyroscopic stability are not quite there. Control response shouldn't be instantaneous to the touch as the rotor blades flex with change to control input. I guess I don't like the twitchiness of the cyclic for such a heavy double turbine 4-blade beast of a helicopter--a mellower AFCS modulated control is what I was expecting. Whining aside, it's still a blast to fly though.

the cyclic is very sensitive to the touch, you barely move it and the helicopter moves about. so, in the real thing, how does one fly it with turbulence and g-forces without losing control? maybe the controls are way too sensitive? the mass of the aircraft and the large 4 blade rotating disk should offer inertia and gyroscopic stability...

also, front right MPD on HUD page, the HUD symbology does not show. shows on all other displays front and back.

negative. on gnd or in air?

no issue with vr fps with tgp and agr running.

since you don't need full cyclic authority to fly the thing due to the cyclic being so sensitive, setting the cyclic axis saturation to 50% calms things down a whole lot.

i guess i'm using the dcs_updater.exe so it's working? @echo off cd C:\Program Files\XRNeckSafer start XRNeckSaferApp.exe cd F:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin f: start DCS_updater.exe exit

necksafer is still working here. in openxr toolkit dcs world is checked, opencomposite_dcs is unchecked.

always had stuttering with dcs with hags turned on, just switched to opencomposite and not getting stuttering with dcs anymore.

try 'training' under main menu. it shows you how.

as mentioned here many times, vkb stick users have a ready solution to the trim issue:

for those with vkb sticks, this works great--this force trim bypasses the 3 choices in the ah64 sim. press button to force trim (locks x,y,z), button release+time delay releases x,y,z to stick (give you time to recenter the stick). 'trim release' button press centers to 0,0,0.

this works very nicely! thanks.

force trim release implementation is squirrely on the ah64. the best trim implementation is the hype performance's h-145 for mfs.
