Inaccurate force feedback trim

[Gunfreak]

When i hold the force trim button and move the stick, then release it. The stick moves a cm or two. And so doesn't actually stop where i want it. And given 1 cm stick movement is quite huge when trying precision stuff like hover. It makes the use of force feedback trimming kinda useless.

I have to test it. Been a while I flew the Kiowa.
But for now, have you tried if the differnt trim options in the settings make a difference in this behavior?

Like @Hiob mentions. What are your trim settings in the Kiowa, as this does not happen to me. Polychop does FFB a little different from other modules. Have you swapped the FFB axis, if needed? Have you applied any curves or reduced any saturation on the axis?

I have swapped the axis. If not the trim would go flying to the opposite direction when releasing force trim. This is more that the stick moves a a cm or so from where I let go of the force trim.

The special trim settings are set to instantaneous. And i have 15 curves on both axis(same as I have on the Apache.

Tried without curves? What might "work" in module, might not in another. It's a known case that DCS does not support curves with FFB.

Doesn't the Kiowa have some specific FFB settings like the Gazelle?

It does have various trim options to cater to different type of equipment

If you want to use curves with FFB and it causes issues, I recommend to use the hardware trim option of your FFB stick (if it has one like the Rhino). Works like a charm.

I'm not talking about the trim settings. The only trim setting for FFB, is the default one, and you have selected that.
The issue with DCS, is that the FFB effects are linear, so if you use a curve, the stick curve/input won't match the FFB output. Hence why you might experience the stick moving doesn't match the trim settings. I can't remember if you're using an extention, while I highly recommend it instead of curves.
What I'm asking, I can't check right now, is that the Gazelle has some sliders in the special settings, and if they're used when using FFB, it causes trouble.
But try without curves first, to see if it gets better.

Cheers!

Trimming works perfectly fine, both with Force Trim ON and Force Trim OFF.
Remove your curves.
