Trimmer choices for regular joysticks

[sobe]

A look at pages 18 an 19 of the Apache manual would seem to indicate that for regular non-FFB joysticks, there is only one choice, the central position trimmer mode.  In the Blackshark you have the default trimmer mode and the central position trimmer mode.  So it appears, that the default method in the Blackshark is not going to be available in the Apache.  Correct?  If so, I seem to recall that you only have a certain amount of time to return the stick to the neutral position (0.5 seconds if I recall correctly).  I wonder if that will be the same in the Apache.

Autopilot has not been fully explained.  I understand Apache having a Force feedback system with (Release and Attitude and Altitude ending in Release) just like MI-24 HIND. Now the Hind also had (Hover button, speed, button and route button).  Does Apache have that??  I also noticed that in the last video from Matt the Apachee in the upper right corner had the SAME HIND Stabilization (H-K-T-B) showing. I this going to be in english?

So I jumped in and took off with a boot full of left pedal and then managed to get going and flew pretty easily. Then I checked the settings and saw that I had that FFB INSTANT TRIM on.  I changed it to the Central Position Trimmer mode, and was all over the place.  Of course I hadn't bothered to map any TRIM controls or learn how to use them

 

It seems to me that the FFB Instant Trim setting is kind of a cheat code for flying..  Hovering and landing, not so much

Same here. Flying with FFB INSTANT TRIM on is easy. Central Position Trimmer is all over the place, really unflyable. Same goes to my pedals. I have no springs in may pedals, and if I use the NO SPRING AND FFB option it goes everywhere, too sensitive. With FFB INSTANT TRIM is ok.
