Yeah VR... I feel like most people voting for TiR either can't afford VR or have specific issues with VR that most don't have. If you can run it... Do it. the X52 is fine.

That's because DCS is the only Simulator :) The others are all fudgers :)

LOL

That said... HYPE TRAIN!!!!

ED have already said that it's not a matter of if, but WHEN. They'll do it :).

"I don’t know where you get that the Viper is good at slow speed, this is the Hornets ballpark, not the F-16." QFT

Oh hell yeah :). THANK YOU !!!11!!1!11111!!!1!!ONE!!11!!

Right there with you Highwayman... I also regularly run into the 8 axes limit. There's 9 on the X65F. It's hwy the mini-stick doesn't work without some "tweaking".

We need them dearly for AI though...

Wouldn't buy. Also... Keep in mind that in DCS timeline terms multi-crew is SUPER new.

Don't reset trim. That's not the problem. Both posts above that one are the solution.

MMHMMMM... Yummy...

"Black Shark 3 better fixes this" :(

Does FD turn off at that point too?

You can set all the options you want in the NVidia control panel and I would assume the AMD one... None of it works in VR but most AA doesn't anyway. So yeah... Use the NV/AMD CPL... It's pretty awesome.

I don't think that trim reset sets it back to "the middle" exactly. When you take off (with no wind or anything... let's keep it simple :)) you will generally hold trim and increase power while moving the cyclic forwards until the aircraft is just about to take off and just about to move forwards. At first it will only be trying to lift the front gear. You keep moving the stick forwards and increasing power until you have all three landing gear extended as far as they'll go without lifting or moving forwards. Then release trim and take off. If you've done this correctly then you should mostly go straight up as I recall. From this point on you DO NOT want the trim location to move back to where it was. So... It stands to reason that trim reset will set the trim back to the center of the KA-50's stick travel... where it is when you start the aircraft... but not back to wherever the current "controller" is at or something like that. I'm still not sure it's not doing whatever the FM programmer wanted it to do... It seems like it's working in a way that seems inconvenient to a few people for some reason... and I can empathize with that... but since it's not a real thing I'm not sure we can say it's not working correctly. That said... With the way I understand the trim system and what I feel like the "trim reset" would/should do... it's doing what I expect it would do. Also... I've never used it. I think I may have hit it once to see what it does... but I'm not even sure of that.

Hmm... I still say it's the AP channel authority offset being temporarily removed. In AH... When you set a location, the trim doesn't hold the control surfaces where they are like "trim" would normally... It moves the control surfaces around to keep the airframe where it is. When you press trim reset it temporarily removes all AP applied control input from the trim system, then allows the trim systems to catch the airframe and attempt to keep it where it's at. When in steady state flight the same is true aside from the fact that it's attempting to maintain a flight envelope instead of an attitude. Normal trim maintains an "attitude". KA-50 trim maintains a flight envelope. To do so... It allows the trim systems (or more correctly the AP channels) to exert a specific amount of control authority as an "offset" to the trimmed stick position vs. flight envelope. Maybe I'm confused as to how it works, though I'm pretty sure I'm not, but it makes perfect sense that the KA-50 does this when trim reset is pressed... IF... your initial trim is not perfect AND there have been no environmental change (wind etc) since you trimmed. IMO it's basically impossible to get a "perfect trim". And... the examples in the videos are basically creating the perfect setup to make this happen if the trim system works as I understand it does.

"I disagree, it's a bunch of people implementing their interpretation of the data in their game. To be clear, ED will do this independently if they do it at all - thus, the 'other sim' is irrelevant." I'm pretty sure the study notes is what was being referred to... Not the implementation of them. So... No reason to start from ground zero if someone else has done well reasoned scientific study and/or aggregated the research. Relative implementation is a different subject entirely.

I don't know... I almost always fly clickable jets and the WW2 birds... EVERY time I jusmp in an FC3 plane it makes me mad that I can't just simply click the switch/knob/button that I can clearly see and know what it does. I think it's a LOT easier to run a clickable jet than have to remember which keys do what on the keyboard.

I love this forum...

OK so... when you trim from an attitude that hasn't quite reached equilibrium the AP channels will hold up to I think it's 20% deflection from the trimmed spot in order to maintain attitude. When you press trim again, that "offset" hold will be released and the control surfaces will hop back to exactly where the trimmed location is. I'd bet this is your issue. Also... Stop using the trim reset that way. It's not designed to work that way, nobody uses it that way. even if it IS a bug... I don't personally think it's worth addressing. I don't actually think I've EVER used trim reset. Not even once.

You need more elevation. It's obviously not practical sometimes but yeah get some elevation and they'll make it. I tend to attack from elevated cover where I can find it. If not... yeah... 6-8Km is your sweet spot.

Yeah F18 for sure. As far as startup, takeoff, shoot guns... Not much harder than the P51. A good bit easier to take off actually... But then you have quite a few more systems to learn after that and you can do so at your own pace.

I'd go with 6-10KM myself... Mostly 6-8KM but you can kill targets at 10KM with the Vihkr

It's been a long time since I've run auto... Switching to Manual is basically part of my fence in procedure at this point.
