Trimming doesn´t work anymore (Saitek X52 PRO)

[Kappi]

Good evening gents,

 

I don´t know when it happened (must have been after one of the latest patches) but the trimming in the Shark doesn´t work anymore as it should be.

 

No matter which "trimming technique" (hold trim, set attitude, release trim or set attitude, click trim) I use, the result is the same. As soon as I let go of my stick the Shark goes into a dive. Even if I trim the cyclic to the right, it goes right and into a dive as soon as I let go of the stick.

 

Can anybody help?:helpsmilie:

 

DCS 1.5, no axis curves, full saturation, no checkboxes under settings.

Some ideas worth checking out:

- double check that there are no double-bindings for any of the axes (maybe an X-box controller plugged in? Happened to me some time ago :D)

- check proper mapping of the "Trim" function

- check that "Trim reset" isn't accidentally mapped (although trim reset in forward flight would probably lead to violent pitch-up instead of dive)

- when the problem occurs, look at the controls indicator (RCTL+Enter), it might give you an idea of what goes wrong

- disable all mods, if you have any

- rename your Saved Games\DCS folder, re-map the axes and trim and see if the problem persists

- try DCS repair (Start -> All programs -> Eagle Dynamics -> Repair DCS World). Be sure to disable all mods before that, if you have any

 

If neither of these helps, I'm pretty much out of ideas. :music_whistling: ;)

Could it be that you have a non-ffb stick and that force feedback is turned on?

Force Feedback turned on? Does it turn itself on? Is there a special checkbox in the settings or should I check the FF tune in the controls tab of the Ka-50?:music_whistling:

Checked everything, no mods, no other controller, no binding conflicts.

 

Going to rename the SavedGames/DCS folder and trying DCS repair tonight.:thumbup:

I mean force feedback checkbox under the MISC. tab in the settings.

I found the error:doh: I still don´t know what´s the reason for it, but it was bad calibration data within the Windows Gamecontroller settings. I noticed that the "center" position of the stick was slightly forward. After disconnecting the X-52 and recalibrating it in Windows everything is fine now in DCS.:joystick:

 

Thanks for the help and the inspirations. :thumbup:

 

@Moderators: Since it´s no bug or problem with DCS I guess the thread can be deleted:music_whistling:

Glad you got it working. :thumbup:

Hell no!

 

Imagine someone else has the same problem in the future, this might help them fix it.
