sobe Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) I read the following from an old forum post: CENTRAL POSITION TRIMMER MODE - this is for joysticks without force feedback. When set to ON, stick input is "frozen" after you press-release the trimmer button until you return it to center position. This is designed to give you time to return the stick to center without having to do it very quickly, like you would have to do with this options turned OFF. The same applies to pedals is pedal trim is ON. Is the above still correct? How long do you have to re-center if Central Trimmer Mode is used-no time limit? If you use the default trimmer mode, how long do you have to re-center? Does the trimmer take effect on the press or the release?

I use the Central Position Trimmer Mode and when I lock it in place the effect is almost immediate and the same when I unlock it. However, on the advice of a real helicopter pilot, I have gotten into the habit of never trimming. At first it is very difficult, but once you get the hang of it it becomes quite simple. Hi.

DishDoggie Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 I never use the trim. I fly in VR I just don't need it. I have watched some real pilots fly (DCS) on YouTube and they didn't use it. Turn Turbulence on and set some wind to give you real life conditions and learn to fly that way. It will be fun.
