I see where you are going with this, but problem is that majority of fliers use center trim due to hardware they have. Makes precise trimming a bit hard. All my controls stay in place, so makes it a lot easier. Answers on both questions are: all the time, either beeping it or holding until in stabilized new position.

In hover, for me, seems to be more sensitive to collective inputs and is also more twitchy in regard to pedals inputs. I don't know if it's me, but it also seems to want a lot more trim release pressing and more small cyclic inputs to get it to really stay in one spot. Sort of how Huey requires cyclic inputs to keep in one spot, but without Huey wobble. OTH, it's a lot less prone to lose altitude when you do slow deceleration and go through 40-ish knots. Anyway, I would under no circumstances call it a "hot mess". Yes, it takes some muscle memory adjustment to it, but 10-15 minutes should do it.

Check again :)))) Got me too!

No, it will impact only IHADSS. It affects TDU once you select TADS

Yes it does. You do it the same way as for FLIR, select C-HMD and then press BRT.

Why is your link taking us to seafood restaurant? And no, SAS on Russian helicopter is a little bit more than just that. Pure SAS works as damper only, Russian system actively tries to get you back to trimmed position.

Does anyone know what type of switch is used under red button? Mine is losing contact, so I need to keep pressing it on the side.

Your heading hold is activated. Disable either yaw channel AP or heading hold mode and press trim reset.

HF is not really known for its ability to turn. Yes, you should lase directly at target, but I got into habit of leading the target by small amount, especially if target/s is/are fast. I'll try to record it next time.

I don't think we will get new Hind

Track? I flew last night in MP, he worked flawless.

Still not a good idea. It takes up to 60 seconds to reload mission. Place them high and they can have few minutes to practice RRPM control at every run.

Exactly what AG said above. If heading hold is active (via microswitches) once servo limit is reached, system will move pedals. I don't know (didn't occur to me to ask) whether system will move pedals just enough to get servo back under limit or it will move pedals until servo has full authority (get servo in center).

Strange, and I have Mi-24 pilot saying exactly the opposite thing

It's not that simple. Serbia bought 11 Mi-35P's from Cyprus, all of them fixed gear and short wing. AFAIK, wast majority of 35's are fixed gear.

Isn't Mi-35 with fixed landing gear? Speed limit is gear well doors, not the gear itself

So no use near any bridge?

Working radios, navigation, countermeasures, SA.

There is plenty of stuff to gunner to do even when not on weapons. Problem is that people that fly AH helicopters are interested mainly in killing stuff and they learn only what they have to, to be able to kill stuff. If you think it lacks coolness you are not using it to its full potential. I'll quote a friend of mine: Hind will happily let you kill yourself and will laugh at you all the way to the ground.

All my controls stay in place once released. I deal with that by giving him control and taking it back in the same state. If I need him to hold hover, I will get into hover (or close to it), handover, release controls. When I take control back, there is little to no disruption.

OK, that's a bug. I don't know if it got fixed in latest patches, but before you could lose complete tailboom and still have full control-

Screenshot your DCS settings and also post your system specifications. This looks like GPU/driver issue

Either record a video of what you are doing or post a track file here

Mi-8 and Mi-24 are similar, but not the same. Same goes for their systems. 24 manual states that ALL 3 channels should be active. Whether you want to fly it like that or not is up to you.
