Tango86 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot a pitch trim issue I'm having? I have checked and double checked controls, all is fine, however, upon adjusting pitch for takeoff... the pitch trim adjustment no longer stops trimming. After 1 push of the keys (tried both keyboard default and mapped to my stick) it goes ALL THE WAY in the direction your trying to trim. Please some help, cannot fly with holding nose up or down due to this trim problem. Edited June 27, 2017 by BIGNEWY TITLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango86 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi there and thank you for replying. Everything looks great there, the trim at default is sitting perfectly. Upon increasing the trim though... I increase it and let off the buttons via keyboard and the trim just keeps on going until full trim. I attempt to decrease.... and it just runs all the way back to no trim lol It's killing me lol I will attempt to save a replay for upload, I've never done that before but I am confident I can find a video on hot to do so.

Tango86 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 This information is very helpful, I'll be jumping on after work today execute. I'll keep the video short with a good view of that pitch trim gauge tucked up under the top left of the console. I truly appreciate the help BIGNEWY, fingers crossed it's entirely my fault and easily fixed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryphon77 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 hello, I got some issues too with the F5 trim. Not a trim runaway as Tango experienced but more like a trim not always responding to inputs from my stick. It work though but not smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango86 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hey Tryphon, So mine runs all the way to max all the way up or down, and yours seems to intermittently works but its kind of rough, and its hit or miss each time you apply trim correction...hmm...I'm actually sitting here wondering if I should go into controls and check the ff tune or axis controls even though they are hot keyed to the keyboard. I almost feel like the increase and decrease buttons when pressed...become sticky keys. it activates, but then refuses to let go after de-pressing it. I have 2 versions of DCS, one on Steam ( 1.5.6 ) and the other ( 2.1.1 I believe ) on my E: drive ironically this issue happens in both versions.

tryphon77 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 hey Tango, What you can do is download a preset hotas profile. i use those key set up from mustang : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxD7OYrwCi0KOGN5OGR4OXJuUlk. may be a reset of your keying (with those .lua files) and your trim just assigned to your stick would help? BTW If you want to check your DCS version go to MISSION EDITOR then MISC then CREDIT and you will have the full version number ;) hope it will help!

Tango86 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks Tryphon! I'll also be adding that short replay this evening as well so everyone can see what I see lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango86 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hey guys, I want to say thank you to everyone for the help! I have discovered what my issue was and it is now corrected. In the options menu within DCS there are two options that can cause you quite a headache. 1. Force feedback option, and 2. Sync Hotas controls on mission start. I had both of these options checked somehow and was treating my Hotas and some of its key bindings as if it were perhaps a different model with rotating switches and hats opposed to sliders and toggles. My issues have been corrected, I checked and double checked and it looks like I can now finally move onto the F5-E and start learning how to best utilize it. I am not a member of many forums and typically am not know to start threads or speak much on them, but I am grateful to you both for providing me with some good feedback and genuinely being interested in helping me. If you ever wanna fly together or teach me a few things I do have a Teamspeak server I would be happy to have you both in anytime. Send me a PM if your interested and if I don't hear from you thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
