Mi8 trim problem

[Fawlty56]

After the last patch I've run into a problem where I lose joystick control for a brief period after hitting "T" trim

 

Hop in the Mi8 and hit the trim button preferably on the ground, fully fired up.

 

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Edit; Just tried it in the Huey with no problems.

Unchecking "Central Position Trimmer Mode" (Options/Special/Mi-8MTV2 tab) might help maybe.

Thanks Devrim

 

That did the trick

You're welcome, and welcome to DCS forums. :)

Hello

I send the record before the start of the Mi-8 When pressed to trim the cyclic control lever, the lever itself leans to the right side. This is a bug. Bug in the trim bug in hover control.

Turn off the "control helper" in special options for Mi-8.

Turn off the "control helper" in special options for Mi-8.

 

Previously "Helper control" at all off. After restarting the simulation bug disappeared. :thumbup:

I think the trimmer is broken.

I have set the trimmer mode to "Joystick without Springs and FFB". The helicopter starts pre-trimmed about 20% down and right. And it will not respond to trimming commands. It does make the trimming click sound but it will not set the trim to the new position. Also trim-reset won't work.

 

And yes, I know I have to let go of the stick to allow the trimmer to set itself to the new position because I am using a stick without FFB. All of this worked until recently.

 

Using the "default" option in trimmer mode does accept trim commands but with the problem of the stick getting offset (because that is the mode for ffb sticks)

Both "default" and "central position [..]" work the same way when using non-FFB stick. Double check if the special options weren't messed up on Your install after latest update, because what You describe sounds exactly like "control helper" being turned on.

[Spacehamster]

No, I double checked. The first 2 options will cause the trim to creep. The 3rd (no FFB) will simply not trim. It makes the clicking sound, but the new trim position is never acknowledged.

 

This is a bug.
