Roll Trim

[Eagle7907]

I know this is WIP and way from complete, but the roll trim just doesn’t seem correct. In its current state it seems impossible to trim to zero roll rate. The jet flys like the resolution of the trim deflection is too high. Meaning instead of adjusting to a .01 of a degree it’s correcting to a .25 or maybe even .5 of a degree. Granted I am no viper driver nor ever was, but I would find it laughable the DOD would be accepting a jet that can’t null roll because of stores being carried.

 

Please can someone confirm this is correct or not with verifiable proof?

At the moment, the roll trim is utterly useless especially at the frame rates DCS does run at usually (trim does heavily depend on that in DCS which is a bloody shame). But they keep saying [CORRECT AS IS] (yet again, trim rate smoothness depends directly on rendering rate!), so I wouldn't bet a since cent on them fixing this anytime within the current century. As for proofs, they're the devs. They don't need to show em. Usual business practice...

Roll Trim

 

I see what you’re saying. It’s a shame since Nick Grey has been speaking nothing but praises and hopes to right the wrong on other platforms of communication. I guess it’s correct to whatever ED wishes it to be. I can understand weapon systems and classified information to be stopped short of what the jet can actually do, but to just stop short of accurate roll trim?

 

Come on.

 

(I misunderstood what you meant. So it’s a limitation of the sim, but they insist it’s “correct”. But we all know it’s not correct. Got it.)

What works for me is using an Axis for Roll trim. You can trim much more sensitive with it.

Im using the Grey Handle next to the Throttle (on my Warthog) for that.

In the A-10 thats the handle to configure friction if im correct.

 

But even that its not that easy to get the Plane trimmed correctly. Still dont think that should be needed just because you have an TGP mountet.

TGP gives a fair amount of asymmetry and requires roll trimming with airspeed fluctuations. Not because of weight per say but certainly because if drag.

 

Trims could be easily fixed if they do not make it simply as an all or nothing logic. Everything is on RL FLCS diagrams, they just have to copy/paste the logic.
