Trim implementation on the kiowa better than ah64?

[kdfw]

i'm finding the kiowa's Fade In/Fade Out trim is much better/smoother than what was done on the ah64.  on the ah i use instant trim mode and the control throw double the instant the force trim is pressed which upsets the helicopter (alternative central position trim is not good).

i guess i'll beg ah devs to implement the kiowa scheme...

I can't even describe how much the fade in/fade out setting on the trim has changed my life.  Okay, a bit of hyperbole, but seriously, this system is amazing for making those trim changes as I can smoothly re-center without huge wild gyrations.  I would second finding a way to get that system through the rest of the rotorhead fleet.

I haven't tried the fade yet, since I didn't really know what it was. Thanks for bringing this up.

Hi,

For Apache, I started this sensitive topic here: Trimmer

Yes. That is a nice touch. 
In the Gazelle also.

Anyone having an issue with cyclic trim in either setting? Seems only anti-torque pedal trim works and holds its position when trim is interrupted (actual control and trim position agree), whereas the cyclic trim only sets up the trim position as indicated on the control display, but when released the cyclic input goes back to its initial central position while the trim is still where it was setup. Tried all different settings with no joy

 

Found the solution in another thread, just deselect force feedback in miscellaneous options!
