You can try deactivate the Autopilot from its circuit breakers.

 

But I think Mi-8 wasn't designed to fly without it or without trim. The rudder trim on/off in options had been introduced I think because some people get confused about it as we have no rudder pedals with FFB.

Is it possible to turn the trim off ? Why would you ?

:huh:

 

To reset the damn rudder pedals, all mixed up by the heading autopilot. But I'm not sure if that's what OP meant?, If yes, then there is a trim reset button available.

Is it possible to get the whole travel of the stick without trimming? I dont think I could successfully autorotate without using the trim button on either Helo

Ok I got you but I use cntl T to reset and for any major course deviation I would disengage Yaw channel until I was heading straight again

As long as you have your saturation is at 100%, 100% deflection of your joystick == 100% travel of your cyclic stick.

 

 

The only thing not trimming does is makes you hold the stick in a funny position all the time vs neutral. Well that, and there's the heading autopilot, that occasionally needs a trim reset if you use it.

 

 

Disabling the autopilot stability channels will make piloting the MI-8 a much more "lively" experience. Your mileage may vary on if you like the feeling or not. I find the stability channels to be invaluable in saving me a lot of effort and stick wiggling.

Practice makes perfect.

You may feel that way, but you really don't. Once you get used to the trimmer, you'll never look back.
