bumfire Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Is it just me or is their a loud mechanical clicking sound when using the trimmer in the shark now ? Every time I trim, when I push the button their is a loud mechanical tapping sound, is this part of the patch ? is anyone else experiencing it ? much obliged if anyone can lemme know if their bird is throwing up the same sound when trimming. cheers.
andyfoot Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 The addition of the clicking sound was mentioned in the Readme file
bumfire Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Ah, I did skim threw it but on my monitor the readme on the dcs website is faaaaaaaaaaar to big for my monitor and I gave up after scrolling back and forth for a few lines. I will go read the txt file read me instead, I did read it before but I shall do again. thanks for letting me know it was mentioned in the read me. MODS, please kill this thread with fire as the question was answered.
ED Team USSR_Rik Posted August 10, 2009 ED Team Posted August 10, 2009 Every time I trim, when I push the button their is a loud mechanical tapping sound, is this part of the patch ? is anyone else experiencing it ?It's correct - trimmer sounds are included in patch. These clicks are sounds of trimmer's electromagnet. 2 Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.

bumfire Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Cool, thanks Andy and Rik. I finally found the part in the readme which is practically right at the bottom saying their is a sound implemented into the trimmer. Cheers again ;)

sinelnic Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 It's correct - trimmer sounds are included in patch. These clicks are sounds of trimmer's electromagnet. Would it be too much to ask, some diagram and/or explanation on how the actual trimmer system works in the Shark? Thanks!

VMFA117_Poko Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Would it be too much to ask, some diagram and/or explanation on how the actual trimmer system works in the Shark? Thanks! NEW TRIMMER IMPLEMENTATION In addition to the original trimmer implementation, in which control input is disabled for 1 second to allow the player to quickly re-center his controls, a new method is included in version 1.0.1, using a different re-centering logic. In the new method, control input is disabled until the player returns the controls to their neutral position. This allows the player to re-center his controls smoothly, minimizing unwanted control input. The new trimmer logic is optional and is selected ON by default upon installation of the patch. Selection of the trimmer implementation is available in the GAMEPLAY menu of the game options. The Yaw (heading) autopilot channel functionality has also been redesigned. If the yaw rate is under 3 deg/sec. when the trimmer button is released, the autopilot will stabilize the helicopter heading. If the yaw rate is greater than 3 deg/sec., the autopilot will stabilize the yaw rate to maintain the turn. [EDIT]Oh, you're asking about real Ka-50 trimmer logic :doh: My bad!
sinelnic Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Actually the real mechanical system. Thanks anyway Poko!

enigma6584 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 So if I read the readme correctly, if I uncheck the "dot" for the trimmer system, that means the old "original" trim system is used in game?
bumfire Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I was about to ask that, as I am also confused regarding what the "central position trimmer mode" does, ok we know its for the different trimming modes, but the box being empty is that the old or new trimming mode ??? ATM I have it set so that the box is ticked/checked and I have no clue if I am using the new trimmer system or if I am using the old trimmer system. Also whilst flying a second ago, whilst I had the trimmer button held down, I moved the cyclic but the heli didnt respond, no matter how much I deflected the cyclic with the trimmer held down the helo just remained in a hover, without any hover AP's being enabled, it only did it the once and then I came here to ask what trimming system am I using if the trimmier boxed is ticked/checked, old or new ? EDIT: NVM, after reading the read me again more thoroughly I see where it says that control input is disabled til it is re-centred, so I guess the box being checked is the new style trimmer, not sure I like the disabled input part but I shall give it a try.

STP Dragon Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Is it a new sound or simply the sound of the normal switches?

bumfire Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Its as answered earlier in the thread, its the sound of the electromagnets being magnetised and then de-magnetised with the push and release of the button.
