Trim settings not working

[Istar_Eldritch]

Hi there! I'm not sure this this is a bug or just me missing something, most likely the later as I just acquired this module. I checked the manual and some videos online and I can't find anything related so I'm very confused.

What I found is the following, I adjust trim and I see it in the cabin indicators but I don't feel it makes any difference to the actual flight controls. I've seen in some videos online when applying trim the stick moves, that is not happening in this case either.

I'm flying the F1-CE on the open beta. Is anyone else experiencing this, am I missing something?

Hi! Can you drop a track? We're not aware of any issues with this. Also, do you by any chance have a FFB stick connected too, that could be part of the problem?

[Istar_Eldritch]

I wish I had one hahaha, but no, I do not have a FFB stick. I'll prepare a track tonight. Cheers

Hi, 

There's a current issue (introduced in the last patch) with the yaw damper sometimes amplifying yaw motion instead of dampening it. This has been solved internally.

Regarding the general FM feeling, strength of adverse yaw, stability... Our SMEs (which have thousands of hours flying the F1) have tested it extensively and verified it is an accurate representation of the real aircraft.

As always, reports of specific issues are appreciated but it's always much more effective if they come with a track or a video showing the issue and, in cases like what is being discussed, some evidence backing the claims being made.

Well, I was definitely not complaining about the responsiveness of the trim, but about it not working at all. I had a look at my setup, and it seems like the problem was indeed related with one of the connected devices. I was using vJoy to emulate the toe brakes on my VKB T-Rudder pedals. Removing vJoy and using the pedals directly solved the issue. I have a hunch that vJoy emulates something related with force feedback so that is probably the cause.

Its a bit strange, I would definitely not expect the pedals to affect the pitch and roll trim but that was definitely the case. Do you know if this would be solved at some point or if I can configure it somehow so I can still use vJoy?

Feel free to close thread if it becomes problematic @fausete

@Thinder my role here is not to moderate discussions but I would appreciate if you were more polite when addressing @Bremspropeller.

@Istar_Eldritch from what you describe, the problem seems to be that vJoy is tripping the automatic FFB stick detection. I have no experience with this software but, if it has an option menu, can you check if there is an option related to FFB? Otherwise, if you don't want to uninstall the software, in the DCS MISC. Option menu, try unchecking the Force Feedback checkbox. If it still doesn't work correctly, please report back and we will see if there's something we can do about it.

Hey @fausete so I tried those. vJoy has a checkbox to enable FFB effects, even with it toggled off the problem persists. When doing so on the DCS MISC options, it does work. So that solved the issue for me. I don''t think I would need the differential toe brakes to fly this model anyway, but its a nice to have

Also, thank you a lot to the devs and all the team involved making this model possible, its very detailed and I don't care what anyone else says about minutia, this is still a game after all and I'm enjoying this model very much. I look forward to learn all the little bits so I can master it.

No problem, I'm glad that solved the issue. Thanks for the feedback, we hope the module brings countless hours of fun and joy!

I have hidden everything after the solution, one because the solution means the issue was solved for the OP and no need to continue and two because it was starting to turn into childish bickering. 

If you have an issue of your own, please make a new threading with tracks and supporting evidence. And please be mature and constructive about it. I understand everyone is passionate about this hobby, so we should not be insulting each other. Thanks.
