In dcs when you hit force trim in game it holds that position and you reset your joystick back to neutral position. Then force trim reset will reset so game cyclic position matches your controllers input.

Bummer.

I think you need to ask yourself what you're actually wanting. My opinion is that the AI is a medium that allows 1 player to have control over both cockpits in a dual pilot aircraft. Or in the F14's case a Pilot and a RIO. If you're goal is to have an automated pilot behind you drive you around then likely no. That's likely not going to be a thing. If your goal is to tell it to do something as you maneuver around, then yeah that functionality should be there and as it improves more and more bugs will be removed as time goes by. I mean I don't have the 14, but from what I've seen, jester doesn't just pop up and say hey we're past waypoint 10, i'm switching to air to air vertical or whatever. You select that stuff. Or maybe i'm wrong Idk. If that's not your thing and nothing wrong with it, the KA-50 is around, it's designed around single pilot. All my opinion, could be wrong.

I imagine it’s something similar to the hind. Where it keeps an attitude and keeps the aircraft from burning in. Driven off of your ai command inputs. But if you wanna boil it down, bs’s basic role is to keep the aircraft from hitting other things and drive the front seat around.

Take the 50 dollars and get yourself a puppy

I don't think it's out yet.

If it sticks no, and in reference to rain yeah, most of the time if it’s raining I dont have to turn them on and depending on the aircraft, the example below had atrocious wipers. some wipers are good and some aren’t. I mean the bell jet ranger doesn’t even have wipers, you just kick it outta trim for a second and continue. Referencing the effects of relative wind in forward flight.

Startups yeah, but running I haven’t seen too much stick to the canopy after startup. It happens. I just haven’t seen it. I think it also has to deal with what they clean the windows with too but idk If it sticks then it’ll start to cake on, it won’t come off with just blowing on it and when you turn the wipers on if you have to it creates some sick scratches. Generally the peeps I know just wash the windows prior to flight. I’m sure there’s a crew chief on here somewhere. Also at @LooseSeal it also depends on the type of dust or environment. If it's like that thick moondust, that stuff is miserable. If it's like normal kinda sand and what not it doesn't stick too bad.

If you don’t have vram to spare you probably got rain turned off too. it’s also planned to be incorporated

Just an observation. I think this is 2 requests in 1, you guys aren’t asking for a cosmetic addition your asking for actual concept of skis spreading ground pressure out. But your also asking for ed to model snow in depth in order to make it worthwhile. Which they could do a blanket coverage of x depth anywhere is snow and it always reacts the same. Or they could rng it, either way. Interesting request.

Never said not too, do what’s comfortable for you. It’s your setup. x and y access on the joystick as thumb force controller, i stick by what I said you’ll probably want to bump up sensitivity. Otherwise as soon as you zoom in you’ll be max deflection.

I mean I’m planning on trying to run just the joystick and collective axis’s that I have vs running another controller but that’s because I don’t wanna hold something, and in the aircraft the tedac handles are fixed so my hands just rest there. Nothing wrong with y’all’s plan. Using another joystick as the thumb force controller, you can easily get away with it you may want to bump up the sensitivity settings for slewing zoomed in but idk how sensitive it’ll be in dcs. Could easily work.

I’m with you I just bought the virpil collective, so it’ll be here when it gets here.

For clarity I was joking about the go fund me. I’m just in the wait phase of hurry up and wait and bored

Just start a go fund me and post it here In reality I agree maybe your friend won’t like it, but y’all can play for a bit with the trial so there’s that

Oh symbology Up / down. Honestly it depends how much night flying you’re planning on doing. I don’t think you’ll have to move it from double bumper tho. Running an Xbox controller with no ir track, idk how much fun night nvs will be. Not my place to decide. However, moving between transisition and hover at night will end up being pretty essential because at hovers. It’s impossible to determine your drift from sensor until you’ve moved quite a bit, unless you’re staring straight down and keeping your head in one spot. So unfortunately those get used a bit, they’re used a lot during day too but honestly it’s not as necessary. The benefit of not having ir track is as soon as you stop moving the camera it fixes so you can’t confuse head movement with aircraft movements! Big win

So fcr scan size and tads zoom have to be two separate switches. unless you’re gonna double bind them, which probably would work As you have it now here are my suggestions. I’m just waking up so still a bit groggy. no modifier laser trigger swap with cued search weapon release move to right thumb z axis I just realised, you’re going to have to move laser trigger and weapons release down to left modifier. Unless you’re counting on iat / ai to take care of tracking for you. you’re going to want iat down, can’t think of the name off top my head but to reset / drop. I’ll think a bit more on it, worst case I think you have a working product that you can fine tune after you play and move things around so it’s easier. best of luck

I would combine sight select with was, radar functions as close together and tads as close together as possible, they’re a little intermingled and you’re gonna be forcing your self jumping more from modifier to modifier than necessary I think. As close together I mean on the same modifier button. Delineate like that as much as possible, there’s only a couple cross overs, you’ll use was more with tads then fcr especially at early release.

I’d say with the limited amount of buttons and it being a game you could probably drop and realign alittle Force trim doesn’t work like that of a hind. Unless the arrows are place holders for the hat then I’m back with you. you can drop fmc release, it’s for an ep and people confuse how the fmc in the ah works in comparison to the ka, be my only guess why it’s there maybe one of the dudes testing it know something I don’t but in the real aircraft it actually hurts your controllability, unless you meant it as force trim release, but still doesn’t make sense because that’s apart of the force trim hat I was referencing earlier idk. You don’t need the boresight button it doesn’t do anything for this year. I’d personally want polarity a higher level, generally for hunting I’m a white hot guy but if I’m at distance trying to identify something I swap, also when flying under nvs I generally use blackhot. I hope this helps man. Oh you missed your sight select I think double checking Nm found it

Magic

I mean it coulda been fjord

You can only say it super enunciated

@doedkoett least cool Hollywood I’d have to say… freedom. Definitely freedom just because he was one of those big uavs, and was super annoying. bone, bam bam, playboy, some of the cooler ones

yeah no one wants that

R (army copter) last 5 of aircraft tail. It’s what you use when talking to non combat atc. There are units that have agreements with the civil atcs but haven’t heard many personally but my scope is small
