WildBillKelsoe Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 This advice comes from constant controllability issues with the Huey. Today I decided to venture out and set a curve of 39 for pitch and roll, and a custom user curve for the rudder, starting with 5 ending with 40 , leaving collective alone, and the controls became crisp, and the resulted coordinated flight was outstanding. I could hover for like 15 minutes on the same spot without wind. Will try this in the campaign (I'm thinking about making a new campaign for the Huey, retro style utility campaign solely on the cargo aspect now that it is 95% finished) AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Bushmanni Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I'd set the curves only as a last resort if nothing else helps. CH has enough accuracy to use linear curve if there's no mechanical problems like loose play in attachment of potentiometers. Curves makes flying by the muscle memory very hard so you have to make all maneuvers very carefully ie. slow to avoid problems. I tried curves once but didn't feel it was worth the cost.

ebabil Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 i have ch figter + x52 throttle + ch pedals i tried too many curves but i couldn't hover properly. i will try your settings. can you share your settings detailed?

fjacobsen Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Curves are set relative to Your controllers physical center. The actual center of the simulated aircraft though (especially for helicopters) changes with trim settings. This means that You never will know how a non linear curve will act on Your control inputs. F.ex the point where the Huey is set to hover is a tad to the left an tad backwards. At that point the curve will act quite different when the stick is moved to the right than when moved to the left. Same is trur for back/forward movement of the stick. Curves makes sense for fixedwing aircraft, but will mess up contollability for helicopters - thus I will recommend not to use any curves on helicopters. | i7-10700K 3.8-5.1Ghz | 64GB RAM | RTX 4070 12GB | 1x1TB M.2.

For non-FFB sticks, the trimmed center is always the physical center (--> "center trim mode").
fjacobsen Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Are You sure? I always thought that "center trim mode" means that once the trim button has been pressed the controller must be returned to center and then takes control from there. Thats why I dont have "center trim mode" ticked on the special tabs for the helicopters. At least thats how it worked in the old KA-50 sim. | i7-10700K 3.8-5.1Ghz | 64GB RAM | RTX 4070 12GB | 1x1TB M.2. NVMe SSD | 1x2TB M.2.

WildBillKelsoe Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 it is as flagrum mentioned. center trim makes no use of the trim function. your limits are the exact limits of authority.
