redcloud111 Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Hello all I am new to DCS. I bought the Spitfire, and I am an Il2 and War Thunder guy who is interested in the challenges of DCS. I have been reading the forums as I learn the ins and outs of everything. I use a Sidewinder FFB2 joystick. I read the sticky, and I understand to swap the axis, as well as to not set any curves. I am experiencing an intermittent odd nose up as if the aircraft is overly trimmed for pitch up. I can't find the pattern of why it happens and why not. I have fully cleared the settings for all controllers, twice, and built them back from the ground up. When the joystick works, I can fully trim the Spit for level flight, and all is superb. Ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this? Thanks!
Macka Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) I have noticed this phenom as well over the last couple of weeks. Initially I thought it may just be excessive default take off trim newly modelled or added on some aircraft in an update for runway starts. Unfortunately it is also happening in air launched missions but intermittantly. So far it I have tried F86, L39, F18, F5, M2000. I am aware of the high take off trim on F18 but it even feels more excessive than previously. I am using a TM warthog. I will try my old MS sidewinder ffb and see if the same occurs.

redcloud111 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Posted December 6, 2018 Macka. Thanks for looking into it. Today it happened once. I restarted. Then all was well. I am confounded!
TechRoss Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I might be completely off here but the other day I was watching some fella on YouTube Spitfire tips and tricks and the one thing he pointed out quite quickly was if you are using FFB the stick is not really centred when in neutral. I don't use a FFB but pull up the control indicator and see where neutral is on your Spit. He was saying it is a little back which would cause a pitch up. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
redcloud111 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Posted December 7, 2018 Hey Ross. Thanks but I can trim nose down fully and it still rises. I think this is something else entirely.
