Hey, I'm having some serious difficulty trimming the A-10A and F-15C... it doesn't work at all.

Is it supposed to work? It is available in the controls settings.

A lot of times, trimming issues in those aircraft seem to be tied to force feedback. Are you using an FF stick? If not, make sure FF is turned off under Options/Misc.

 

Hello Ironhand, your above post pointed me in the right direction.

I am using a Logitech G940 system with force-feedback, and am not able to apply trim at all to the Su-27 if FFB is selected in DCS World. If FFB is de-selected, application of trim (pitch - via adjusting the angle of the stabiliser) is normal using either trim-buttons or "joystick" trimming, and makes "flying" the Su-27 very much easier! Given that I am pretty ignorant when it comes to modern jet systems (and predate PCs by a few decades), I suspect that I might have overlooked something, or misunderstood something.

The Su-27 is the first "modern" jet that has really got me hooked on the type - everything about it is just beautifully depicted in this sim and it's a simply stunning aircraft - and I'd like to try "flying" it as ED intended. In the Su-27 manual (P.44) it states

"If a joystick has force feedback, trimming shifts the joystick neutral position, ...."

which seems to indicate that the FFB should, in fact, be turned on. I do have it turned on in the Logitech controls.

What is your advice?

How amazing and what a difference it makes with one option off!.

 

I want to add my thanks. this noob Just tried a flight with FF option off and its like a different gameplane.

 

cheers

:) There's a world of difference between what should be and what is. I do know that FF often is the culprit, when people are asking for help in these forums. I imagine it's something they will eventually fix.

 

And the Su-27 is a wonderful aircraft to both fly and fight. And, to my mind, she's the most beautiful aircraft in both the DCS and real world's the sky.

 

Coops,

 

Glad you've got it sorted out.

Trimming and other problems with FFB effects might be caused by wrong FFB axis settings. I've noticed that with MS FFB2 I usually have to "swap axis" from the FFB settings and also sometimes invert X and Y.
