Trim issues?

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Gents, this issue escapes me.

 

Only when playing online with a couple virtual sqn team members do I have an issue where every other minute the A-10 pitches up or sideways wildly and only by pressing the trim reset button do things sort themselves out for the next couple of minutes.

 

When I play on anyone elses servers it never happens. This is all I know about the diagnosis.

 

Its almost impossible to perform landing and gun runs.

 

Any idea would be great.

 

Thanks

Sounds like lag issues

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Not a lag issue

ARe you sure you don't have multiple axis assigned to your controls?

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Yes I am sure. For some reason it only acts up with my sqn mates servers but no where else online or in single player.

Gusting winds?

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

No way.

 

This happens sometimes out of the blue or when turning off auto pilot and I have to yank the controls violently to get control back and only by pressing the take off trim button does the aircraft sort itself out.

I have never encountered this issue before. If possible, could you post a short track depicting this behavior?

I saw something like this after the 128 update. It was some kind of trim or autopilot setting that had to be remapped. Ill dig around and see if I can remember what it was.

[ricktoberfest]

Is it the PAC switch for the gun. (I think that's what it's called). When engaged it auto trims down several degrees. Maybe you have it mapped to another control action

[ricktoberfest]

The unusual part is if it only happens on one server. That's what makes me think either lag or a server option is messing things up

[Blooze]

If it happens on just that server be sure that the server has the option "use these settings in all missions" unchecked in the DCS Options Gameplay section. It may be something on the server's computer that is being forced on the clients if this option is checked. Just a guess though.

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Thanks Blooze ill try that out.

 

I cant see it being a mapping issue cause it only happens on these two servers and only to my aircraft.

 

I cant see anything else being wrong that I do cause I use the auto start sequence so I can do other stuff in the cockpit. Ill try and do some tests this weekend and sort it out and Ill report back.

 

Thanks all for your time.

Blooze, I had something like this on your server the other night... the virtual stick would suddenly deflect full left, and came back only after moving the actual stick. Must have looked pretty strange - the plane banked 90 degrees left before I had the chance to compensate. Oden was flying behind me and saw it happen a couple of times.

 

It stopped after a couple of minutes though.

 

I know the Ka-50 autopilot is trying to kill you, but so far the Hog has been fairly docile :)

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Strange.

 

My usually just begins to pitch up when flying straight and level, if Im in a dive (gun run) shell go down and if Im turning it goes hard into those turns and I rarely survive if im low!!!

My gut tells me it's a lag issue causing a delay in the time it takes for the input data to reach the server and return to the client with a proper response. I suppose the higher the ping to the server causes the greater potential for this type of glitch.

[RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING]

Ive now come to the conclusion that this only happens to me and anyone of my squadron mates hosting. When I play with the 104th, ENOs servers etc it doesn't happen???

 

Still workin on it.
