Dirt_Merchant Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 at the risk of having missed this as a known issue i wanted to call this out - i have been having issues with the trimmer being completely non functional. I am observing the "ctl+enter" controls display and i can clearly see the trimmer bug moving around, but there are no changes to the stick center on my FFB stick (msffb2) nor is there any affect on the aircraft's behavior. There are no FFB options in the "special" section of options, neither are there any FFB tuning options in controls... Any insight here would be appreciated - and if more info is required I'll provide what is requested.
john4pap Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 It's always been like this. If I'm not mistaken a couple of years ago someone from heatblur replied to another thread that they didn't have any FF joystick so they had not tried to/couldn't make it work. I expect this will be implemented once (and if) this plane makes it out of EA. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk 1
Dirt_Merchant Posted November 25, 2020 Author Posted November 25, 2020 well ima have to call bullshit on this one tbh, not your response of course, but on the devs not knowing what FFB is - as the F14 has fantastic FFB. So HB, how do you respond to this?
john4pap Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Well I think that was a long time ago; could be even before the release of the f14. The real question should be when they will resume working on the viggen and address all those little things that keep it in EA state. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk
Dirt_Merchant Posted November 25, 2020 Author Posted November 25, 2020 ya this is a point, but fuckiing basic functionality is broken for me here:/ and there is no option to just turn FFB trim off like in other modules - or just go to centering force only - like there is no workaround outside of going to simffb as a third party solution. weak as mate.

Perhaps I didn't get your problem. Aren't your joystick forces centred regardless the trim? Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk Well lets start here, do you use a FFB stick? or are you familiar with how they actually work, as in do you have first party experience with them?

Dirt_Merchant Posted November 27, 2020 Author Posted November 27, 2020 ok then - when you trim in another aircraft, the stick moves to new center position to align with the trimmer input yes? well not so in the viggen - it doesnt work at all and there no option to work around this unless you employ something like simffb which takes over FFB input entirely - so no more stall shake or anything like that.
john4pap Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Yes, that's what I originally understood. This is where I lost you: ...and there is no option to just turn FFB trim off like in other modules - or just go to centering force only... FFB trim is off because it isn't implemented, and that means you already have centering force only. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk
Dirt_Merchant Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 my point is that the trimmer surfaces fail to offset in this case, causing no net change to trim configuration. does that make sense now?
