I spits my coffee all over my monitor...:lol:

Do you mean turn damage off for all aircraft or weapons?

Having the ability to load all weapons onto an aircraft in a non-functional manner would sure be nice. For example, folks who enjoy flying around on aerobatic servers only would have the ability to load the plane up without the weapons being functional. By doing so, folks could practice aerobatic flight in a combat configuration without concern that some dingelberry would come along and shoot the place up:D

Were you on another planet?:):megalol:

Thanks for the information

No worries...Virpil doesn't either:megalol: :beer:

dburne, would you happen to know what length of extension would be needed to simulate the length of an F-18 stick.

I went ahead and canceled the pre-order. I do not have a control stick and needed one bad so Amazon to the rescue with a TM which will be here on Monday. After the dust settles between Virpil and VKB regarding the availability, I'll take another close look and grab one. Cheers!

Thank you for the info. The WarBRD is showing to be in stock. I wonder if that is one of those order it now and wait or order it now and it will ship out... Since the part of the TM that is not working is the base, it would be nice to simply plop the TM control stick onto the WarBRD and go. Cheers!

My TM Warthog stick finally gave it up and I am currently stickless:cry: I am looking at the VPC WarBRD Base and the Gunfighter MCG Pro Table Top. Between the two sticks listed, my only concern is "stiction" which the Thrustmaster excels at. For those of you that have used either one of the sticks listed above, can you share any thoughts on stiction? Are the VPC Warbrd and Gunfighter sticks free of the dreaded stiction? The only controller currently available for order is the VPC WarBRD so that is the one I would probably order providing there is no stiction. Thanks!

No, its 13.5 min from now

I can hold the pitch trim button down for a month and there is no movement:joystick: When the trim does work, starting with the engines running, the trim moves right along.

I went in earlier and tried the pitch trim again and still nothing:joystick: Again, I have made sure to check that the control sticks are set correctly in the control assignment screen and everything is set just fine and shows the correct button working when the pitch trim is moved up or down. I also tried out the default up and down trim assignments pertaining to the keyboard and those did not work either. The pitch trim does work providing the engines are running when entering the mission. Anything from a cold startup does not work.

My guess would be the US, UK and Russia are their largest fan base hence the reason there are skins for those countries first.......Marketing:)

The pitch trim when performing a cold start still does not function. Here is my latest post about the issue: "I just went back into both 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 Beta and the pitch trim does not function on either one of them from a cold start. Amazingly enough, when DCS 2.5.1 was first installed, the pitch trim worked as it should from a cold start. When the trim initially functioned, it was by no means slow like some have reported but moved along just fine. However, after changing video driver settings/game video settings, the trim no longer functions."

Zabuza, I am not sure if what I did fixed it or not but for whatever reason the trim is working and I am very happy! I did fly the Viggen in DCS 2.5.1 Beta so I should probably load of the standard 2.5 and see if the trim is broken in that version. Cheers! Update: I went back into 2.5.1 and the trim is not functioning again:mad:

The pitch trim is working now. The trim started working after I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and re-installed DCS from scratch.

Any update on a fix? Trim is still not working Thanks

Great news and thank you! I would definitely enjoy having the ability to perform a cold start and use the pitch trim:beer:

Thanks.. I am not sure if you missed it but the pitch trim works just fine if I start in the air or on the runway with the engines already running. If I land, turn the engines off and perform an engine restart, the pitch trim no longer functions. Also, when performing a cold start, the pitch trim does not work. The pitch trim indicator moves just like yours unless I perform a cold start or a restart after landing. Lastly, I am using a TM Warthog setup. Cheers

Good news indeed! Hopefully, they will get to the bottom of the issue and resolve it.:thumbup:

I decided to perform another test on a multiplayer server. I launched the aircraft from an airborne starting point and the trim functioned just fine. So, I flew a while and landed at which time I did a simple engine shutdown and engine restart. After re-starting the engine, the pitch trim was again broken. I even tried cycling the trim circuit breaker and nothing changed. The only conclusion I can come up with is the aircraft is broken..for me anyway. Zabuza, I completely agree with you that it appears to be a crapshoot if you encounter the issue or not. So, if the developer is paying attention to this, please take some time away from the F-14 and fix the Viggen:joystick:

The game repair was already done with zero changes in pitch trim functionality. Pitch trim works when starting in the air Pitch trim works when starting on the runway with the engines running Pitch trim works in instant action scenarios Pitch trim works in multiplayer when starting in the air Pitch trim works on all other aircraft Aileron and Rudder trim work just fine Apparently, this is a known problem for some folks Pitch trim does not work when performing a cold start I have ran around in circles jumping up and down performing a Viggen pitch trim dance.......nothing I have banged my head into the keyboard.......nothing I am having a hard time believing my game is broken:D However, my keyboard might need some repairs...

I am indeed using the 2.5 beta which is what everyone else appears to be running also. When you mention fps dependent, are you saying that frame rates can cause the pitch trim to either work or not work? I do not have any frame rate issues running on high settings. In fact, the only issues I have are the giant lag spikes on multiplayer servers: single player flying runs like glass. Btw, I do appreciate all of the input with this matter as I really do enjoy flying the plane.....when the trim works:beer: Thanks
