Vertigo72 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) 1) Am I right saying that in the openbeta the "use FFB trim implementation" in special options is always on? Trimming the F14 moves the stick regardless of this option and I dont notice anything different with it on or off? 2) When using autopilot, the AP seems to use the trim to "fly". And because of the above opton, the trim moves the stick; this leads to a trim runaway when your hand is not on the joystick (FFB force is disabled then, at least on MS sidewinder 2 FFB sticks). The AP still tries to compensate for any attitude change by moving the trim further and further, but this has no effect because no force is applied to the joystick which stays in place. This causes the trims to max out after a few seconds and of course, the AP doing nothing useful I wouldnt call this a bug, and its probably not even fixable as I dont think software can detect the status of the joystick hand on grip sensor, but its something I spend a long time scratching my head over. Even (or especially ) with autopilot enabled, you can not remove your hand from a force feedback stick in the F14. This is a good reason to have the a working option again to disable the "use FFB trim implementation". Or to put some tape on the grip sensor. Edited June 8, 2020 by Vertigo72
RustBelt Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Cover up the grip FFB kill sensor and never look back. It's a little hole under the trigger. Also enjoy using your fingertips to fly smoothly once that stupid feature is eliminated.
