Nope, FFB controls need 100% to work as they should. You want more precision, put an extension on your physical control. But......most FFB controls have their own software running at the same time. You also need to check how that is set. TL;DR is- you want 1:1 movement of your physical and game control.

Google what mast bumping is, but, yeah, it's not a thing in Apache.......or any other fully articulated rotor system helicopter.

You need RAlt Home and RShift Home to jump from off to idle. Then youo can use Num or mouse to move levers.

I have reported it today

As for tuning light, R-828 is broken now. Light does not turn on, but radio automatically tunes to selected channel. As far as I can tell, you did everything right. Possible reason you did not get any signal is that for VHF/UHF, you need line of sight to the transmiter. You being on the ground will most likely prevent that. One note though: if you are reporting a bug, try to make it as short as possible AKA in this particular case, put hot helicopter and put that unit right next to you, so people watching it don't have to spend time waiting for important part to happen. I wrote above about possible reason it didn't work out for you.

828 radio will now automatically tune to selected channel, there is no need to press tune button.

Can you post miz file and also your track? I tried it and it works on my end, both sound and homing. EDIT: my guess is that you forgot to select R-828 via rotary.

Actually, in real life, pressing on pedals would disable heading hold, lifting your feet would engage heading hold. Anyway, if you want to use it that way, remap one of toe brake axis to a keypress. One problem this would bring is that AP would trim pedals to maintain heading, which then might leave you with insuficient pedal movement,you would need to reset pedal trim, but you can't reset just pedals, pressing trim reset would also reset your cyclic. Speaking of, I am really not sure you need heading hold. Mi-24 is extremely stable in forward flight. If you really want that functionality, you can hold heading (more precisely, it would hold course over ground, not heading itself) by using route channel of autopilot. It will hold course by banking as needed, so it won't move pedals.

Unfortunatelly, no setting really works for what you want. Even the option you selected will not work in prolonged turn, unless you wiggle pedals, because after some time heading hold will turn back on. Your best option is to bind heading hold button (I think it's "Y"), set microswitch to off and use it like that. Another option you can use (which is closest to how it works in reality) is if you have foot brakes on your pedals. You remap your axis to heading hold button and fly it.

What makes me wonder is, how did this thing get past testers? It's not something burried deep within the menus or something that you use once in a while.

Never do that. Use Virpil software for any calibration.

Remove 4 top screws, then remove 4 front ones. That's it, pot is inside the box. If you want, you can remove 2 connectors to give you more space to work. Pot is held in place by 2 bottom srews, just pull it out from twist grip.

OK, I was wrong. It is a SYNC mode. I've got exactly same behaviour as you. Just turn it off it via switch on the sight and you're good to go.

Sync mode is not the problem. Check bindings for double commands, DCS is known to assign bindings on its own during update.

Agree to disagree. That's what makes life fun.

It's not that DCS 64 is nimble, it's random twitchiness. Even bradmick is saying that FM needs improvements.

I had few instances where sitting on the ground, I would get engine vibration warning and almost imediately engine fire. Some of them where on paved surfaces, some in the field. But, those were really rare and I never could identify what triggers it. Is it possible you got some battle damage?

I found that holding trim release helps a lot with yaw. Yes, you have to work it all by yourself, but it beats SCAS hunting.

If you really want to know, we can give you technical explanation, but you don't need to touch that.

What causes George to not take control automatically? I just tried it in SP and George takes control on its own.

Did cleanup and slow repair. Friend is running same mods as I did. Crash still occurs, but only after firing ATGM. Same for my friend. We were running front seat with another friend that runs vanilla DCS

For me it works both in SP and MP.

Every time I click release slot from front seat, DCS crashes. Will add log and track file after we clean up this mission. SSSR (2)-20250311-211217.trk.writing SSSR (2)-20250311-211217.trk dcs.log

Sorry, I completely glossed over the fact that you are using FFB stick with coresponding trim mode. You are correct. I use no springs and FFB trim mode, and it's bugged in that mode.
