FFB Trim not trimming properly

[Picure]

I haven't flown DCS in over half a year now and I just came back today to fly the Apache but it's all out of whack. I remember it not being like this before.

Basically, whenever I trim, the physical stick will not stay where I pressed the trim button. It will always try to move back to center or some other direction. I do not have any deadzones or saturations set. I have tried this with Instant Trim FFB friendly setting and Joystick without springs and ffb. I get the same result. I remember this happening on an early version of the Hind as well but back then, inverting the axis fixed it but it didn't work this time.

Here is a video showing the problem. I recorded it on my phone so you can see my actual FFB stick going all over the place.

I just tried flying the KA50 and the problem still persists. It seems like a DCS issue.

Sorry guys, my bad. I just found out that my PS4 controller (my "steering wheel" for racing sims) was plugged in.  

Nothing is wrong with DCS's FFB

All is good!

I’m late to the party, but glad you figured it out.

Generally speaking: for others who might have issues I recommend disabling controllers you don’t need in the DCS ‘setup controls’ screen, and using something like HIDHide in Windows to block everything but DCS and configuration software from seeing/accessing your flightsim peripherals.
