known Slip Ball

[Specter]

Am I going mad or is the slip ball working backwards?

[Rongor]

Can confirm it doesn't seem right. Kicking the ball only makes it worse.

Agree, the traditional "step on the ball" to get coordinated is not working, it definitely seems backwards

I seem to recall this type slip-ball bug happening on other modules.  Didn’t the Huey have this for a long time.   It always makes me wonder if there’s a fundamental simulation bug floating around.

As far as I know it’s still broke in the Huey and has been since it launched.

Haha, for real?  I must have totally blocked it from my consciousness  if that’s the case, since I fly the Huey pretty regularly.  

I do wonder if bugs like this are superficial visual bugs, or if the forces are being modeled incorrectly.  There was a weird one a few years back with another module where a tailwind made your airspeed read higher than if you headed into a headwind.  Or the other big one…reverse ground effect…I just hope the slip ball isn’t revealing the true forces being modeled.

Looks like the MFD's trim ball is indicating in the opposite sense. Stepping on the ball in forward flight to correct an out-of-trim condition gets the aircraft further out of trim.

The one below the SFD is working correctly though. 

Hope this helps for the next update.

Can confirm the exact same behavior

A bug report for this already exists here:

I believe this is known, but even as simple as the issue may seem, always include a track please. Thanks!

So the Kiowa has the correct ball indicator, slip/skid is showing correctly. I did hop in the Huey and noticed the same issue with the ball indicating opposite of what it should be. I can post a track unless someone else has one
