fixed internally for next update Impossible to do the AFCS start and get damper with Force Feedback, any clue ?

@AeriaGloria Thank you, that was a simpler explanation than mine!  

Ah yes, sorry i understand what you mean now. I though this was fairly obvious. Creating curves on an FFB system is highly compromised in many ways and yes, the trim envelope can be reduced for this reason. However what I was trying to say in my first post is that there is still no issue or conflict with using DCS control curves and using a force feedback system. You just have to deal with the compromises. And having a slightly reduced trim envelope in many aircraft is a non-issue. Hence I used curves in the MiG-29 since my stick extension is about 1/3 of the control stick in the real aircraft. 

And yes, the reason the AFCS failed is as a result of the stick trimming but running out of available trim deflection on the real stick during the bit test, hence not meeting the requirements of the module's AFCS stick trim deflection in the game. I'm just telling everyone who is using a FFB stick, in layman's terms - having too much curve on the control axis may be the reason for the AFCs bit test fail, like it was in my case.

Roger! All good buddy!

Have you tried with an extension?

Cheers!

I am using an extension but due to my set up and the physical size of FFBeast base I can't have the same length lever arm as the real aircraft. My extension is about 10cm. Need to make do with compromises for now. It works well though. I have no complaints overall.

You'd have to dial DCS's FFB down to "0" in the controler menu(FF Tune) then it will work. My FFB-Stick still works after I did that. Just turn down DCS's FFB output

Thanks Ill try that. It has been working if I gently hold the stick sensor but today it just will not work no matter what I do. Even unplugged the Sidewinder and unbound it... BIT fails and fails.

Have you remembered to swap the FFB axis for the Sidewinder in the FFB tuning in the Controls settings?

Cheers!

Thanks for the reminder. I did remember to do that. First thing I do with all new nodules.   

It is working again. I suspect I was just forgetting to synchronise the HSI with the NAV system but can't be sure if  I was doing some thing wrong or the stick was playing up or the software was the problem. It's working now so I'l assume I was messing up the procedure.
