They also don’t have a system which locks you out of controlling the aircraft till you centre your sticks but you know …..

If you look at that video I made, I set dead zones to see if it made a difference and it didn’t at all

There’s been lots of posts that accurately describe the problem in this thread.

I’ve flown the hind since early access myself. Resetting trim fixes a situation that comes about because of how the autopilot yaw is implemented with the little rudder pedal buttons on the real aircraft. Whether that issue is brought about by pilot error is irrelevant it has the ability to recover from it. The real aircraft would not enter that state anyway so it doesn’t matter if the real aircraft has trim reset or not. With the hind there is a problem and there is a mechanism to solve it. With the apache there is a problem and no mechanism. If the realism of having a reset button when there isn’t one on the real aircraft upsets you or that you have no problems with how the trim is implemented then just don’t bind the button

I wasn’t really complaining it was more a question of if they were there was there something that I needed to do in mission editor. I’m getting good enough results (or bad for the ISIS guys) I even had one poor unfortunate souls hightailing it down the road trying to get away but that was just with the disperse under fire command. It would be great if they could dive for cover though.

This is what’s getting me, it’s not a trim issue it’s a loss of authority issue. You can trim by the book but the same as the 24’s yaw hold you can get tangled up with the rudder and the only way to get the authority back is is to trim reset or it will start spinning. It is definitely not user error in terms of central trimmer as we are pulling the stick back to centre, if we weren’t then the controls would jump in the direction they are being pushed. Although the central trimmer mode does definitely lock you out of the controls if you don’t centre, I’ve had that in the 24 until I changed it to default. This is different it’s a loss of authority, it’s more like the situation in the 24 with the yaw stabiliser/yaw autopilot. If we were to talk about real life would they really allow an aircraft that reduces your control authority without a button to stop it in an emergency? In a sim game what’s the problem with having a reset button. It’s not trimming back to a neutral position it’s a way to regain control authority after you have lost authority because the way the trim is implemented in the sim

See the video about the bump in the controls when pressing trim

I was looking at how much torque I was using when I was losing anti torque authority. I was pretty much always at 100% or over, I reduced my wieght before takeoff which has given me a torque overhead and a little more authority. I am still getting a bump in the controls when I press trim which I’m looking at. Flying correctly and trimming regularly as we all do in other helicopters isn’t going to stop us crashing in an emergency situation where we need full opposite pedal in an instant which is real life if you think about it. They would never allow a helicopter to fly that locked your controls without the ability to release them instantly

that’s it you can pretty quickly run out of authority especially after spirited flying. You can’t get that authority back without a reset. Yeah 2 hrs flying and my shoulder needs a break, started to hold the stick lightly at the bottom to relax my arm.

I spent a good 20 mins setting up my navigation points etc. is it possible to do this on battery power or external power? It’s hot and I can’t carry that much fuel

Hi Was the more realistic infantry ever implemented? If it was how do I make them run around and take cover in mission editor, would it still be the disperse command? And also the insurgent “isis” vehicles and technicals we saw in the videos

Set your rudder trimmer to the third option it’s doesn’t register any trim. You then you can have independent control of the pedals on transition but you are able to force trim your cyclic. The only downside is that you need to keep on the pedals at all times, but I prefer it that way anyway. I fly all the other rotary wing like that.

It’s a great bird to fly without using trim, but it’s just not practical to use it without trim.

The problem for me isn’t the way it works, it’s there is a bump when I release the stick to centre. The crazy rudder and spinning at transition stuff is because you need to deflect the pedals fully the opposite way to centre it. You approach slowing down trimmed and your anti torque is trimmed half way to the right. At the point of transition you need to adjust your pedals but you can’t because the trim is locked to the right and there is no reset like there is on the hind. So you spin. You can use the third trimmer option on your pedals and then any cyclic trim you set won’t affect your pedals, but you just need to constantly be on them. I prefer it that way anyways

This please see the video I posted above

I made a little video maybe this can explain it. Please excuse my video editing skills

Must have been a one off I can’t reproduce it, if it happens again I’ll grab a track

I seem to be coming upon two problems. I don’t have a problem with how trim is implemented although I would like access to the “default” version that was on the KA50 where you had half a second to centre, it didn’t hold the controls till you centred. It feels to me that when I set trim the stick or pedals are adding more trim when the press/release process is done again. The way I understand it is that if you are force trimmed then if you hold the trim again the stick is free to move until you let go of the force trim which resets the trim position with no need for a reset button. With me it feels like if you re trim and that authority is added on to the existing stick/pedal authority not cancelling out the previous lock. Fully understand attitude or altitude hold aren’t implemented yet it’s debatable whether the reset is as well Forgot to add, if I don’t use trim at all I have a perfectly stable flight, all be it with sore shoulders. If I need to do something on the McD screens I jump over the the cfg and let George hover for a minute. It’s cheating but until I get my head round the trim that’s what I’m going to do

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or user error. When moving the cursor on the map to mark the target point after destroying the first units at the airport. It’s when the picture comes up on screen. I mark the position in the map but the mark appears somewhere completely different. It is almost like I have changed resolution mid game and my mouse is out of calibration to the screen. I will make a track today in an hour or so

I’m after some advice regarding the above stick. I use it currently in combination with a x56 throttle. I have the pro version which has the changeable hat/slew on the top left. Would it be a good idea to change it to the 4 way hat with press ? Or should I keep it the same using it as a slew. I’ve pretty much decided to use a Xbox/PS4 controller for the TADs

So after a couple of hours flying around I turned my resolution up to 4k. Turns out I can fly the Huey over Adana with 2x MSAA and get startling performance with nice visuals and similar temps. If the card holds up this upgrade has been worth every penny. Next experiment will be using nvidia NIS 4k and super carrier/hornet shenanigans.

Thanks for looking at that, set my mind at ease a little. I was going around in the performance adjustment vicious cycle and it set my mind at ease. I went and spent some time flying and not fiddling. Going ok so far, I’ve looked at undercoating/clocking I’ll get some hours flying under my belt with it before I attempt it so at least I can see if there’s any performance difference.

I’ve attached a photo, ignore the Obs I was playing with the recording settings. It’s a replay flight. An undervolt may be in order I’ll read/watch up on it

So ….. after deliberation I went for the 2080ti bought for £650 face to face from a car sim guy. I didn’t see the value in going new for a lesser card and performance boost, and I had a new to me card that day rather than having to wait to fly for a couple of days. I feel like I have a massive difference in performance all round and it feels like my cpu is being utilised more efficiently. I am now running 1440 locked at 60fps for my track ir. I am very pleased with the performance and visuals I feel like I got good bang for buck. The only issue I’m having is my own paranoia with hot spot temp. full load (inc a little SSAA) I’m running 68c GPU temp and 84c hot spot which is 16c delta. There’s no throttling and performance is fine. Do I have a problem? I’ve got good airflow with 2no. 200 mm fans blowing air in with a 120mm exhaust fan. My cpu cooling is a 380 dual fan aio pushing up through the top of the case. I forgot to add thanks for the help and advice.
