When do you use flight director?

I am operating under the assumption that he means that he uses the trim button to accomplish the same thing that other's are using FD mode to accomplish. :D

Well the result is a little different. FD requires less trimming and, more importantly, when you do trim with the FD (with a non-FFB stick) the helo doesn't overcompensate like it does sometimes at low speed with the FD off. Maybe bad technique on my part but after 10,000 trim activations with every combo of long-hold, quick press and release, large null-zone, no-null zone, I think I've pretty much got it and know what works best for my setup. I just wish some would quit calling the use of the FD a sign of "lack of mastery."

Watch rockets land where you want'em, while you turn away from target, still sporting a 2km separation ...

 

That's frequently overlooked by a lot of virtual pilots. Thanks for the remark.

No, no, no, thats the trim button!! the FD button is the little blue one to the right of the lower Hat switch! :lol:

 

Not for me :P I have moved everything around to be more comfortable for my brains.

 

I am so getting that collective attachment for the X-52 btw.
