-Mop- Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Maybe I discovered an error... i don´t remember if this is a new an old one or just a misunderstanding of mine... Of course you feel resistance when you use the stick with the AP-Channels engaged and no trimmer-button pressed... so far so good... but if you enter the FD-mode the HUD behaves as described in Numeros threads... but... still i feel the resistance of my forcefeedback-stick pulling itself back to the last datum.... should it do this? in my understanding in FD-Mode Damping should still be active but the Attitude-Hold-Mode should be disengaged... and so no resistance should be recognizable... True or Wrong? Please help... and please no guesses... just answer if you really know what you are talking about... thx in advance:pilotfly:
Maurs Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 The autopilot channels don't affect the actual position of the cyclic - they just have 20% command authority around the cyclic's actual position. When you are in FD mode the channels' command authority is deactivated, but the cyclic position can still be trimmed around. Or if you have not trimmed the cyclic position, the stick will still return to its default position.
