Constant Right Hand Bank

[McG]

My Setup:

 

Thrustmaster Warthog Joystick and Throttle

CH Pro Pedals

 

When I check the axis tune in DCS all appears normal with the axis properly centred. I have tried 0 deadzone and deadzones of up to 10. I have tried curves of +25 and -25.

I have also calibrated the joystick and pedals using Windows control panel.

 

Regardless of what I do to the setup the aircraft banks right at all times, which makes take offs etc interesting.

 

Any ideas as to how to resolve this?

This happens with all planes or with specific planes?

Don't use Windows calibration, use the software provide by joystick/pedal manufacturer.

I have a MS sidewinder force feedback 2 and since last update in 1.5 I flew a mission in A10C : plane start with a big trim applied to the right and little forward. I had to retrim (no trim recentering if I'm right in a10c). I thought a momentary bug that will be soon corrected but saw no post about it.

Several planes need to hit trim recenter at start (su27/su33) or retrim cause no recenter button (su25/25T) but never had the A10....

Aye that I remember. I also recall there is some calibration software from Thrustmaster that fixed it for my situation.

I didn't let windows touch it.

Also I still have the files. One for the throttle, the other for stick,

they should be in good condition as I used them once only.

Good luck.

All planes - I have the A-10, Hawk, P-51 and SU-25.

Any chance of posting up a track or video of a take-off showing your Controls Indicator In-Cockpit?

McG said he checked axis in DCS and all is centered. It's more I think a trim bug.

I've just seen that with A10c since last 1.5.8 update - before that trim was centered by default in this plane but now there is a big trim to right and little forward when starting to fly.

McG I bet if you hit "recenter trim" button, if the plane has one, or if you put trim to left then it's ok ?

[McG]

Thanks for the info.

 

I've attached a picture showing the controls position when trying to maintain level flight.

This is with my feet off the pedals.

 

I do have an extension fitted to my Warthog stick, but I don't see how that could cause any issues.

Check your key/controller bindings?

Tried a couple more things:

 

- calibrated stick using the Thrustmaster calibration tool 1.13

- checked the rubber gromit in the pressure pad of the stick

- deleted the modifier and hat switch combo I had set up for trim.

 

Still getting a pull to the right.

Testing of this problem continues.

I performed the actions in the sticky thread linked below, including deleting the key bindings and repairing the DCS install.

DXTweak2 showed a small bias to the right on the X axis and a small bias forward on the Y axis.

 

I then used the calibration delete tool and ran DXTweak2 again. This time it showed the X axis and Y axis properly centred.

 

The Z axis on the CH pedals seems to be jittery when viewed in DXTweak2.

 

Running the Nevada A-10C Take Off, I again get a pull to the right once airborne, and when hands off the controller, the aircraft turns to the right.

 

I am resetting all trims to zero and the setting take off trim.

It is normal for most aircraft to have to trim an after takeoff, not sure in the a 10 though. I have always had to trim the aileron on the a-10 after takeoff.

I've spent a bit of time the past month trying to track down the root of this problem, including re-installing DCS2.0 Open Alpha and the A-10C and recalibrating all of my controllers - Thrustmaster Warthog stick & throttle and CH pedals.

 

The issue only presents itself in DCS2.0. In DCS 1.58 the aircraft behaves normally on take off.

 

I've attached a copy of the track file for the A-10C Instant Action Nellis Take Off mission.

 

You can see that as soon as I pull back on the stick I get a big bank to the right, followed by an over correction to the left as I attempt to keep the aircraft from rolling into the ground.

 

Any thoughts as to the cause.

I'll look into it...

Sorry, I just realized i cant help you, i don't have nevada.

Can you make a video by chance?

 

Do you trim after take-off? almost all aircraft require trim, especially asymmetrically loaded ones.

Kolga,

 

Thanks for your offer of help.

 

With help from some folks on the A-10C sub forum, it transpires that the issue is with not accounting for the crosswind during take off and applying appropriate into wind aileron.

 

Feel a bit stupid now for not recognising this earlier.

Sorry i couldn't help, glad you got it figured out. Don't feel stupid, we all had to learn sometime!
