Ok. Ill explain in depth one last time. Clicking the trim button (on occasion)against the laws of physics locks the aircraft in the attitude the aircraft was in when the button was clicked until it either crashes, or starts to respond again. Does NOT matter if the stick is centered or not. Does not matter if the stick was centered or not. I have experienced this a few times when the aircraft will hit the ground and drag across the terrain for a few seconds without registering a crash. Then when the stick is responsive again, it registers as a crash. I dont even get rudder input. I dont know why this is so difficult to understand......the trim button, when clicked on occasion, will lock the aircraft. Sometimes clicking the untrim button fixes it. Usually it doesnt. Which is why Ive reported this as a bug. Now here is a problem with unchecking the tick box for center trim. I cant start any mission without it ticked because then the aircraft becomes unstable (Huey) and will throw blades away instantly, or fall out of the sky after the mission loads. Startup on the deck is ok, but not when the engine is up and running when you load the mission. No, I dont fly online, no I dont want to fly online.

It takes roughly 2 full minutes to load the controller options in the options menu for each aircraft. Reinstalling doesnt help, neither does deleting the DCS saved game folder. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

And I dont understand why Im having to be harangued through this topic discussing a bug by offering a solution I dont like. The central trimmer mode is to keep your aircraft from tilting excessively forward when you trim which isnt needed if you had a FFB stick. If it effectively simulates FFB in a non-FFB stick to a slight-but effective degree, Im going to use it. I apologize, but this isnt much of an argument at all. Its a bug, it should be addressed as such.

Non force feedback stick, therefore its needed. I wouldnt check the box if I didnt need it. Legitimate bug, should be fixed, and Im not arguing. :thumbup:

Has nothing to do with the joystick not responding, its the helicopter that freezes. I liken it to turning on the autopilot in the Ka-50 when I hit the trim function, as it will fly straight and in the same bank angle when I clicked the button. As a matter of fact, I think it has everything to do with autopilot. I dont use the autopilot in the Huey since it doesnt have one (but available as an option in the settings). In the -50 you can reset it by turning off the autopilot and untrimming the aircraft. Guess I should post tracks to show you what I mean, but these happen from time to time, not all the time.

Yes I do, and Im aware of that. The problem is that it doesnt respond at all from time to time no matter what I do.

You know a thing or 2 about eloquence? Im hard pressed to find a forum you belong to where eloquence was your strong point. Also hard pressed to find a forum where you didnt whine about one thing or another because it wasnt F4. Boo. Hoo. Trust me when I say very few people agree with your pov. Take care.

Im reporting this one on the fly, so I havent had a chance to do a forum search yet. Sometimes hitting the trim button will freeze the aircraft and it will become unresponsive until it starts responding, or crashes into the ground. Once in a while, hitting the clear trim button, the problem goes away until next time. This happens in both of the helicopters.

THIS! This is why I am persistant! Searching now, I didnt know VGA monitors were still out there.

On behalf of an entire flight sim community who never really cared for your opinions, shut the hell up. Personally, I think 10 years of your fanboi crap has gone on long enough. Stick with Falcon 4, Im sure they still love you over at frugals.

I thought of getting a touch screen monitor, but thats a lot more screen than what I actually need. I dont have a whole lot of desk space, I might be investing in an Obutto pit soon, and something small and functional would work just fine for me. Doesnt have to be fancy, doesnt have to do anything other than be a touch input device, and wont cost me an arm/leg $0.99. Maybe if I cant find an alternative, but Id rather have something smaller than 10". Because its hard to justify spending more than 100 dollars to use an electronic device whos sole purpose would be to display the CDU screen on a computer game. 200 dollars is pushing my boundary, and 900 dollars the thing better cook me breakfast in the morning too.

I have absolutely no use for a tablet or likewise other than using as an output source for exporting cockpit functions, and a tablet seems to be the cheapest alternative to my problem. Otherwise, I would "probably" get an Ipad.

If you can fit your parachute in through the door...

So any android based tablet can be used with helios? How does one link the two devices together to use in the simulator? Im trying to get an idea on how feasible it is to go to microcenter to get a cheap tablet like this here: http://microcenter.com/product/405030/Galaxy_Tab_2_Tablet_Titanium_Silver_-_Refurbished

No. The whole idea here is to NOT spend 800 bucks for something that displays a CDU only. That and Im most definitely not an apple fan. Overpriced crap.

Well these are for gauges, Im looking for a touch screen export for the A-10C CDU and the ABRIS panel for the Ka-50 that I can use on any tablet.

Im looking to use something similar to an Ipad "WITHOUT" having to resort to buying an Ipad or any crapple related component. Guess you can say what I really want to do is export the CDU panel (and similar panel in the Ka-50) to a touch screen device like an Asus tablet. Are there any apps that can do this for this type of device? I cant nor ever will entertain the idea of spending 600-800 dollars just to export a simple screen.

Just sayin'

When was the last time AMD outdid anything Intel had on the market? I know the answer to this one...the AMD FX57. AMD has never caught up after Intel introduced a multiple core cpu that didnt rely solely on hyperthreading. Sure, AMD processors have insane float point processing, but what good is a giant calculator? When AMD finally gets ahead of Intel once again, Ill head on back to that ship. You can bet on that.

You are better off buying the cheapest intel chip and motherboard out there before buying anything made AMD.

Like not bundling FC3 with LOMAC like they did with FC1 and FC2? The only difference is a piece of plastic or two.

The entire LOMAC .iso is at most an 800mb download. The FC3 module is 150 some odd mb in file size. In contrast, BS1 is a 2.2gb download. There is no reason why you cant bundle LOMAC with FC3 via a download.
