Pitching up

[mr_mojo97]

Ok, so I've not flown the BS from r ages and decided to get back into it. One thing I did notice (and couldn't remember it doing before) is the while my (extended) Warthog is centred the BS pitches back considerably and I have to fight it to stay level. Calibration in both Windows 10 and in-game are normal. Any ideas? Cheers

Trim the helo.

I know, I never used to have to do that though. I mean leaving the stick central, it pitches to almost vertical within seconds. No key binding issues either. Ta

Without trim or other control input the Ka50 pitches nose up and will yaw nose left as soon as you raised the collective enough to leave the ground. If the collective input is high enough it will not crash by itself.

Must not be used to it! I'll try and post a track tonight, I just don't remember it being like this (4 years ago!)

Its like that since 9 years for me.

Helicopters require constant trimming because a change in airspeed, altitude, or collective will change the lift vector, and thus requires that the cyclic position be changed as well.
