Hey people!

 

anybody else having problems with the trimmer? i cant get it to do anything. i hot started a mission and want to trim the cyclic for takeoff, but it doesnt do anything.. i used the keyboard keybind for it and a hotas shortcut. am i missing something? when i hit trim the cyclic just returns to dead center.

did a full dcs repair also

added a track in case it turns out to be a bug.

 

hope someone can help me out 😉

it depends if you have a FFB or not. 

defaut trim in special game menu for Mi24 are for FFB trim ( stick should stay where it is when trimmer used ) but not working as intented so far ( like Mi8 or Huey) 

If you have no FFB you should use the return to middle option. 

 

Edit allright 've got it right now for MSFFB 😉 ( checked in flight and with the axes indication ingame

 

Trim Button OK / Trimmer reset OK

for MSFFB in defaut mode : trimmer force 45 / shake 80  ( more trim force is not needed 

swap axis : YES 

invert X : YES ( not as usual )

invert Y YES ( not as usual )

 

defaut trim nose up nose down wing left down and wing right down are also ALL INVERTED ( not as usual )  : be aware

I tried your track and when I take control it works without issue. Check your control settings for trimmer button  and also trimmer - reset. Also make sure you're not in Game Mode, please.

Ya, that's a tough one. Can you try clearing the trimmer button and trimmer-reset bindings and then binding them to different keys and different buttons to see if there is a conflict with something else, in the UI layer maybe?

I think in the options tab you should set trimmer to ffb in stead of default. I read somewhere that the ffb axis act inverted right now. So you probably also need to invert them

 

theres only one other option and it says "for joysticks without springs and ffb". so that shouldnt  be the correct one cause i would read it as without ffb... in a post above it says default is for ffb joystick. do u mean the special options tab for the mi24 right?

Make sure your pitch/roll is NOT bound on another device at the same time. It will otherwise make conflicts like this issue.

 

i have to check on that again, maybe i overlooked something

 

 

when i release trim it recenters my ffb joystick and doesnt stay where i trimmed it at.

I'm  MMSFB2 user:

 

When in Mi24p Sim Axis controls\settings, click on any axis of your bound axis (X, or Y it doesnt matter). Just one left click, so it's highlighted, then click FFB Tune. In the next window that opens, check ALL THREE BOXES. I don't remember exactly what they are called, I think Swap Axes, Invert X, Invert Y or something, all three should be ticked. At that point your FFB will work correctly in the Hind.
