Rudder and Elevator trimming not working? - FIXED!
jackd replied to jackd's topic in Bugs and Problems
With HOTAS do you mean axis (analog controller like a joystick)? I tried assigning them to my throttle, button function. NoGo .. -
I think so ...
-
So i switched off auto rudder. No difference, no rudder trimming neither while chase view shows a desperately fast shaking rudder with or without auto rudder. How can you get rid of that shaking? PS it's the same with a P47D i just tested, and also no elevator nor rudder trimming possible, in chase and in cockpit view

Now is there a quick and dirty work around this list in getting all this done automatically?: ========================================================== P47D .... Couple things impact top speed, Gear up flaps up magnetos both on mixture Auto rich prop max throttle max boost lever as required to obtain max allowable MAP 52' w/o water 64' with water. trim plane for minimum slip as above close cowl flaps above 225mph you should be able to go good above 320mph at SL, 350mph with water rotate the primer to closed position ========================================================== Sorry, call me lazy, just spent 2 days on checking the Spitfire's settings to get it going a bit. ==================== update: ADDED: Testing the JUG again, it looks great, but for me it's impossible to get it tuned right & working with a Warthog set ... The Dora in contrary is quite easy, to get up and to up to speed; just bought it. Definitely gave up on it; rudder trim is also not working, IMO this nicely made plane module is unfinished business, and should not be for sale.

Ah, that might be it ...

Guess i'll have to learn handling it then, but right now i am trying to figure out what WW2 planes are worth it ... so far had an itchy start with this spit ...

Rudder and Elevator trimming not working? - FIXED!
jackd replied to jackd's topic in Bugs and Problems
Nope, just tried free keys B and N, no movement in flight. In F1 cockpit view only the UP/DOWN wheel moves slowly, and seem to work. The dash up down meter also moves. However the rudder trim function does NOT seem to work as the notch settings. Nothing happens, but that's maybe since i saw auto rudder set on somewhere ... -
Windows 10 LTSC, US language. GameDias gaming keyboard, no problems with other sims. --------------- Setting up for Spitfire TRIALnow testing ... Rudder, and elevator trimming; i can't get it to work so far; tried the default settings, and some of my own, but it does not see to react as f.i in Cliffs of Dover where it's also needed. ADDED just tried it again, seems the modifier R-cntrl or R-Shift do not work; just tested inputting it again (for elevator and rudder). They react in the control settings sub window when pressed and get registered it seems.. Maybe my PC's Keyboard is not recognized for modifiers while the game is running in F4 Chase , but also not in cockpit F1 view ... PS default setting for notch trimming also does not work. Can it be that it has to do with a windows setting for keyboard layout? thnx for looking.

general autopilot or autolevel for the spitfire

However Rudder trim i did not get to going, nor notch trimming.. -
Thanks all, OK, i'll give it another shot .... since things like all the goodies of the assets pack and, yea, a B17 albeit only Ai, and Normandy 2 too with Paris and London. I can fully understand why Eagle has to divide their attention between all the stuff, and i got it mainly because of the helicopters .... But i am more a gamer towards flight sims, and not as much a flight simmer for accuracy i think, so i still miss a simple autopilot and or auto level, or even some on/off switch to set the player to Ai for a while. Just to have time lo look around, while sitting out long boring fights and f.i. also follow ground actions.

I had several modules already, so oh lucky me normandy 2.0 came reasonably priced, looks good. Spent two days on testing the trialled the Spitfire ... Q: how old is this, as it seems quite unfinished IMO. Seems almost like a Chinese paper kite at take off, especially from Chase view; flappering rudder and elevators ... wobbly take off on the runway, besides all that button pushing if you don't use automated takeoff procedures. Guess i am spoiled. The IL2 bubble top Spitfire Mk.XIV i got a while ago, and their Normady update as well. IL2's Spit modelling seems so much better done as it feels like driving a sturdy Rolls Royce; compared to the DCS version where a 50ies Citroen 2CV comes to mind. Call me biassed, sorry, ...

Time acceleration status or slow motion speed?
jackd replied to bofhlusr's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
AHA Thanks, that's an eye opener LoL ... Now i try to find a general Autopilot or Autolevel mode for a loaded Spitfire mission, guess it's not there? I keep ditching this spit in to the drink when i switch to map (F10) view. -
Time acceleration status or slow motion speed?
jackd replied to bofhlusr's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
Nope, cannot find it, just got the latest update BTW ... Nut what is it called officially in DCS, and where in what folder .. f.i. Systems, General ? -
Time acceleration status or slow motion speed?
jackd replied to bofhlusr's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
time acceleration ... cannot find it in controls, what is it called there? PS is it's presence plane model related? -
I was looking for that too, only for above the cockpit looking forward. It's easy with fixcameras in IL2, but where in DCS if possible at all?

Rudder X/Y controller bindings other than Z and X problem
jackd replied to jackd's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
PS just ran into the same with a Spitfire on trial ... basically the same. Once set in general axis (never realized it was 'analog') and then you can set them up in Flight Control. Deltasim mod, never regretted buying it, but it's not a really simple job to fit it in: https://deltasimelectronics.com/products/thumbstick-slew-sensor-adapter -
Rudder X/Y controller bindings other than Z and X problem
jackd replied to jackd's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
I got it organized. set axis somewhere in general axis commands, and then it was accessible in Flight control . Complicated. -
Flight Control settings for a TF-p52. 1) Warthog system. I have a modded warthog throttle, wit a better X/Y axis button from Deltasim. It is properly seen in the warthog test screen. It works perfectly for rudder in IL2 Sturmovik. Now i am trying to set it up for a TF-P51 (default plane) in the options page. It is just not recognized there when trying to set it up there, is this a bug? Is there another page where you set these maybe generally? ======================================== 2) Trimming Elevator: it is supposed to work via R-Cntl and ; etc ... set up in the controls OK, but it does not seem to work and let itself install. Also a bug?

Are there any modders doing (or mods for maps and-or landscape) texture work?
