Not really. Difference between 8 and 24 is that trim release does nothing to the AP in Mi-8.

Reason we don't have them and don't quite need them is flight engineer doing his stuff and twisting knobs as needed.

You might want to check your attitude. People are trying to help you here, even though this has been asked more than once. And before you ask, I fly VKB GF3 without springs (actually I have #10 spring per axis to keep my MCGU on extension to fall over). If you don't like answers, stop being lazy and go through already existing threads in search for your answers.

You might want to look for existing threads here. We have gone over this exact topic multiple times already. There you will find the more detailed explanations of why you want to keep trimming even with your setup.

Probably some corupted file. Run full repair.

In my test, I kept all those switches down (sight is OFF), Petrovich was able to find targets, I was able to select target, when I positioned helicopter I would get tone and I was able to tell Petrovich to fire

Post track file, on my end it makes no difference where those switches are

No, those switches affect only pilot side sight, they have no effect on CPG and Raduga. Stratos, yeah, it sounds stupid, but did you check bindings?

I'm starting to get issues with my twist grip. Whenever I turn off my PC it will mess up calibration. It's mostly minimum range, but occasionaly max range would be off (it's either one, never both at the same time). All other axes holding steady. Once I do calibration, everthing holds until I shut down my PC.

Are you flying MT version? Mi-24 has same issue, but in ST it works as it should

Track would be best. My guess is that he is not using trim release in a way that makes autopilot actually help you For yaw AP channel you have 3 options: - keep the channel OFF - bind a switch that will disable heading hold and leave AP in dampening mode - use 3rd party program to toggle button(default key Y) as an above switch

Joystick Gremlin

I tried the same with my MFGs, but it gets annoying after some time. I even tried to reverse axis so microswitch deactivates if I press pedals, but that's not satisfactory either. And TBH only time I need heading hold is during route flying, which I deal with by trimming helicopter out before I engage route mode.

No

You need to translate and rotate your head at the same time. If you look at lens and circles move right, you need to keep looking at it while leaning to the left until circles are back in center. Do a VR recenter, boresight (while contorting yourself to do it) and then go back to your normal sitting position. System is capable of following your head throughout cockpit.

You obviously missed his previous "bug" threads

I can't remember exact cargo and I can't find that old mission. Let me comb through files Edited to add: found it, it turns out it's mod cargo. I was certain it was vanilla DCS cargo. Disregard.

Antennae cargo was never fixed. It would actively jump and kill you.

1 means that your CPG has control over rockets. 2 means that when you WAS weapons, those options in the circle will be gone. If you need it any easier that this, maybe Apache is not for you.

You might want to check attitude. You constantly come here to ask questions that are, to be polite, on basic level of understanding Apache. You have already been told to WAS rockets (USE WEAPON ACTION SWITCH), not select them on weapons page.

This is the first I hear about this.

As long as you don't have stutters, 35 FPS is fine. Anything above 24 FPS brain sees as a smooth movie. Yes, it sucks that clouds have that much impact on FPS. Could ED make them better? I don't know, I'm not a programer.

You have 100k to throw at it? Good for you. You are correct, this is a SIM and it should be fun. But that does not mean you can just jump in and be an expert. That's what makes it a SIM. To get to the fun level, you have to put in some work. You said it yourself, it's frustrating. It is frustrating for you because you have no idea why it is doing whatever it is doing. If you don't want to put work in, it's fine, but then you can expect to get a snarky response from time to time. Believe it or not, you are not the first person that asks this exact kind of questions.

There is no other way. I know it sucks, but just keep practicing. First pull back on cyclic to start decelerating and keep that attitude (don't worry about balooning up) and then drop collective until you stop climbing. Keep practicing. With time, you will learn how much you need to pull back/drop collective. Muscle memory is a thing.

Wouldn't autopilot trim in more right pedal in OP case? And his collective wasn't high in the first place. My guess is that AP trimmed pedals to the left (comon situation at ground hot start) and then got disconnected somehow, leaving him with limited right pedal.
