what am i doing wrong

[bigdog4215]

i need some help understanding whats causing my bird to act like this.i don t know if it happened this time but as soon as i hit the unpause button the collective pulls up on its own and notice as soon as i lift off the cylic is pulling up by itself.is this supposed to happen or is it a bug of some sorthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8jNriuwyzA&feature=related

i attached a link to a video[above]showingthe turn off the autopilot buttons[the blue ones on the bottom right]and i did the same in my saved track below.if its not a bug can someone tell me whats going on

Well, first off: don't turn those off. Really, don't. Real Ka-50 pilots are not allowed to do that - they are not only "autopilot" buttons, they also control the damper/stabilization channels and when you deactivate those the helicopter will be a lot more sensitive. You switching to outside view also makes it a lot harder to try see what's happening since it deactivated the Rctrl-Enter control input indicator I had activated.

 

Your collective going up "on it's own" is most likely a stick/throttle issue. On my previous stick it would do this unless I first moved the throttle slider all the way up and down to ensure that the stick is sending a signal that is corresponding with it's position. Most likely that is what is happening to you - your throttle slider may be in a bottom position but it is sending an old signal to DirectInput.

i tried to turn those buttons so i could have more control but i got the same outcome.it acts like that even when i leave those buttons on.when first played the game,i played it game and when i was getting a lot of missels shot at me i would bank to the side to avoid them and when i try to bank in sim mode it won t bank.it will try to roll over till its upside down.when i try to use the rudders it won t stop even when i trim,any idea of whats going on.let me know if you want me to show you whats going on

Could you open the mission editor, place a helicopter with first waypoint as "start on runway" so that it has all standard systems active right from the start (decreases time waiting), then perform the maneuver while staying in cockpit view. (Obviously, also set that Ka-50's skill level to "Player".)

 

Also, what is the exact mappings of your stick? Could you screenshot your axis commands section in the control options? Ensure that you have set your control options display to "Ka-50 real", not "Ka-50 game".

i never messed with the mission editor before but i ll try it out tomorrow and can i upload a screenshot of my controls through the game,if not i ll ask my brother how to do that because i don t know much about computers

To take the screenshot, just navigate to the Options screen, select controls, select "Ka-50 Real", then select "Axis Commands" in the drop-down menu. Then press "Pr Sc" or "Print Screen".

 

When this is done, got to your browser and at the bottom of this thread click "Go Advanced". In the expanded reply box that is created, use the attachement tool and select the screenshot file (in C:\Games\DCSBS\Screenshots or corresponding directory according to your install).

every time i turn the bird it turns back then it goes nuts on me

1)You don't turn the chopper while in forward flight by using the rudder. You turn it by banking.

2)Trim, Trim, Trim, in the whole video you haven't trimmed the chopper once.

i guess i was doing it wrong because i watched the producer's notes and it said to hold the trim button "t" and move the stick to where you want it to be set at and hold the stick in that position and let go of the trim button.If i am wrong or just not doing it right,then could you give me some advice of how to do it.

[winz]

Yes, that is the correct course of action

press trim - move the stick - release trim - move the stick to center

You haven't used trim in that video, are you sure you pressed the right button?

 

your heli crashed because you moved your cyclic too hard while you were in high speed, with high collective setting. This caused your blades to intersect.
