Pitch control returning to neutral when flying with keyboard

[MAXsenna]

@85th_Maverick Are you running out of "troll food" yet? I hope so.

Anyway. I support the request. I believe it's a good idea, and should definitely be in when they release MAC. 

On the other hand. Does anyone knows what an "Xbox" controller goes for these days? I got a second hand Xbox One for free, with a seat I bought so I don't know. If MAC is supposed to be the stepping stone to draw new users into DCS, I believe this request and super support for console controllers will be important. Like what @cfragwrote. These are the typical controllers new users already have. And that's an important observation.

Cheers!

I can’t believe I’m going to offer a suggestion on a topic that’s nuts. But…

What this control really needs would be a Toggle vs Hold modifier as neither option is workable in every situation. In a sustained turn, for example, you’d need keep pitch up key held down continually if it returned to center. Then there are maneuvers where self-centering might be desirable like a simple climb or descent. 
Of course you’d still need three hands to do all this without your fingers getting tangled

Cheers bro..., you have the right thinking! Indeed that for constant turn rates you'd rather like the constantly held input variant that we have now, but you can see that even with an ON/OFF variant you can still wobble rather nicely around the desired AoA. I'm saying this from experience of more than 2 decades of flying flight sims. It's no to hard to do it, but yes, if you could have a sort of input mode toggle button you can switch between modes during flight, and again..., that's not a painful task at all, it's just a thing of wanting to do it or not! Hmm, I don't see needing 3 hands (LOL) in order to toggle it. What would be so hard to reach for a key combo?

But in all that time you haven’t managed to acquire a joystick? Your request simply points out how a keyboard just doesn’t work well for an axis control like this. Have you ever tried a joystick or gamepad?
