Options-misc page

Ok I need some formation on the huey’s Misc optio Page don ave the cactus Page in front f me and I checked the dcs world usermanual, the GUI user manual that came with the a-10c and the huey flight manual plus chucks tutorial for the huey. No luck in finding out the specs for th huey.

 

One I the fore Trim method and that s the I one I’m investigating since I’m sin a ptpuma control sup for helos and the default is for normal sticks with spring loaded centering mechs butmine doesn’t have that there are several options one uses non centering with no ffb I read it different from a friend that was assisting me. I read it with the centering type true and no ffb to be true if so this is probably my best choice but we agreed on the first part but he thought that the ffb was true and it was for ffb sticks only. There were other options just for the huey so if anyone know of the reference for the. Huey misc. options page and wouldn’t mind posting it here I. Would appreciate it.

I have a PFT Lynx and use the "without spring and FFB" for all my helicopters (Huey, Mi-8 and the Shark). That option is indeed for our kind of controller, no spring and no FFB. But to use it you need to increase the friction on the cyclic enough so it will stay in any position when you take your hand from it. You can do that with the two nuts at the base of the cyclic, the ones opposite the potentiometers. There are two plastic washers at each location that make this possible. You really don't need much friction, I still fly with only three fingers and my wrist and the forarm on my thigh, not affected by the friction while flying.

I saw a Russian blog post by one of the Belsimtek developers when this method was first introduced on how they modified an ordinary joystick by removing the spring and ading some friction to it. Cant find it now though.

Tanks that’s what I thought mine stays put I really don’t see the need to trim it when it stays put

 

I also added a curve to he cyclic

For the Huey it's not really needed to trim, sure. But if you have the Shark it is really necessary due to how the autopilot and stability agumentation works. Mi-8 I honestly don't know if it's necessary to trim if the stick stays put.
