akp Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Can't find any way to permanently disable the Aileron Limiter besides using a FFB stick. Can we have an option to disable it?
ESAc_matador Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 The damper. At the left panel. Two switches... To make in the control stick, you have a button to disable it
akp Posted December 4, 2016 Author Posted December 4, 2016 At the left panel. Two switches... Those are for pitch and yaw. The Aileron Limiter is just resistance on the stick on the real plane and not a SAS system. If you try to disable it, you'll see that it has no effect on the Aileron Limiter. you have a button to disable it You have to hold the button (which isn't present on the real aircraft) down every time you want maximum aileron deflection. That's not permanently disabling it.

I was looking for a key yesterday and couldn't find it either. It seems to be on in a hot start mission, but that's it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ricktoberfest Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Noticed yesterday playing on a multiplayer server that the limiter was on even though I did nothing different at start. Made me wonder if it's a mission payload option or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pocket Sized Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 In real life the aileron limiter is a spring stop that closes in when the gear comes up. The flight manual says to override the limiter during spin recovery, to do so requires both hands and a lot of elbow grease apparently. The stop is there (I'm assuming) to prevent excessive roll rate during normal flight. When the gear is down the limiter is disabled to give more roll authority for crosswind landings, the F-15 does the same thing. I have the limiter override assigned to a button on my HOTAS, I only use it at very low speed or when recovering from a spin. (At high AoA large aileron movements cause the nose to swing AWAY from the roll, which is not fun!) DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.
Robert31178 Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks for the input Pocket!! I just bought a new HOTAS and am about to set this function up. I had dreams of going bananas with it in flight, but am realizing that it could just get me into trouble. How you described it's effect confirmed my suspicions lol......
