Trim bugged?

[Eggcake]

Hey folks

 

I bought FC yesterday and since then, trimming the airplane isnt possible anymore. I press the buttons but nothing happens. Doesnt matter if im using Mig, A-10 or whatever.

 

And yes, the configuration is correct (neither works on joystick nor on keyboard). Its really annoying to fly without trim :/

 

Reinstalling the whole game didnt work. Using 1.12a/1.12b (didnt work with neither of them).

 

Hope somebody can help me :)

Edit: oh and when im already posting:

 

How do I correctly load a saved state from a mission? Never works for me (pressing fly! button but nothing happens)

 

 

Edit2:

 

Well the longer I play the game, the more problems occur:

 

1. Crashes

2. Campaignloss

 

 

1. Game crashes now and then. During a mission (no matter which one, a-10, mig, whatever) the game just crashes occasionly (black screen, message that game crashed etc. and rtd)

 

Inst./Gameinfo: Installed Lock On, Applied FC, installed scenerypatch (no moviepatch though), applied 1.12a/1.12b (same problems no matter what patch and yes, its right version)

 

Systeminfo:

C2D 2,4

2GB RAM (DDR2-667)

GF 8800 GTS 320

Running on WinXPSP2

 

 

2. When I restart the game, campaign missions are lost. I was on 5th A-10 mission and after restart I was again at the 2nd. Same with mig missions...this is really annoying....

Trims should work... FC has some time since is out and no major problems are with it. (Yes, I am considering some missile going a bit wild as a minor thing :P ). Check that you don't have an axis on one of your controlers set for trim and the axis is not continously reseting the trim.

The game instability on XP SP2 is strage... the only thing I ham thinking now is some problem with dual core CPUs that some times do apear. Try seting afinity for just one core for the executable.

No trim setting :/ Just Buttons on keyboard and joystick and both of them dont work.

 

And do you know how I just use 1 core for the game?

Have you got the CD version. If so load disc 1 and apply patch1.02 for lockon as that is what is on disc 1. Then load disc2, once it is loaded patch to 1.12a for Xp don't bother with 1.12b as that is the same with a few Vista tweaks in it , which you do not need. Now try to fly. The reason I say this is that I loaded all then applied patches and it caused problems. Reloaded as above and everything is ok. For download I can't help, sorry.. Your system should run with very few issues by that I mean the game has some little things happen but does not affect game play as missles do miss. Other than Mig29 and Su27 trim is necessary to good flight. Dont know about su25t never use it. I fly the F15c and MIg29. Hope you solve your Problem. cheers.

 

P.S. What joystick are you using?Only apply addons after everything is working. You probably know that but just in case.

Seems like the resolution was the problem...

 

was at 1600*1200 - normally thats really no problem and fps was also okay...I reduced it to 1280*1024 and just 1 crash since then. Strange. Other graphicoptions are nearly all maxed.

Problem definitely solved:

 

 

My Gamepad with Force Feedback was also connected to the computer (although deactivated response in options) - thats what caused the problems...disconnected and no crash since then :)

It happened once in my computer before.

Because My Lockon was v1.01, But I installed a v1.02 catch which is for v1.00

Since you are playing the v1.1, I have no idea what is going on.

im having the same problem in fc2 - the only trim that works is the rudder. I am using a force feedback driving wheel for its pedals to use as rudders. Does this means i will have to buy rudder pedals?... unless im having a different issue.

If you press alt+j twice your trim should work, but campaign and mission scripting is screwed after that

[104th_Crunch]

Try going to the file ...\LockOnFC2\Config\producer.cfg and ensure you have

 

ForceFeedbackEnabled = false;

 

 

Not sure if this effects FC2, but in FC1 I think you needed to do this for trim to work.

Hopefully in the future we will be able to use a FFB device and our normal stick with the trim still working.

 

Having a ffb wheel for example on your chair makes for some interesting landings and a fun immersion factor

I am having the same problem out of the Blue.. I even removed the keys and assigned different keys and still nothing... I switched from Simulation mode.. back to Gaming ..and back to Simulation... nothing... mapped it to my cougar nothing.. What the hell is going on .. I had trim before.. and havent changed anything and just out of the blue.. No Trim.. .

 

 

Need trim for maneuvers.. Im gonna kill the other pilots without it..
