Do other controllers interfere with Warthog in A10C?

[DocSigma]

I've noticed that when i fly the jet immedietly after takeoff is incredibly loose. The jet seems way out of trim and needs a fair amount of trimming in pitch and roll to get it stable in the air. I'm running my elite rudders throught the cougar base, but i haven't touched any settings in the cougar control panel or anything and i notice that cougar axis are still recognized in A10C. I was thinking that the fact that these dx axis are still active could be the reason why the jet seems way off. Is it okay to just disable all dx axis in the ccp except the rudder axis so I lose all inputs from the cougar due to spiking etc... but just leave the rudder dx axis in the ccp active and still have the rudders work through the cougar base? or do i need the the cougar fully functioning in order to utilize my pedals?

 

I do have SAS fully enabled in the sim which was my first inclination or maybe there is something else im doing wrong here. thanks for any help.

Make sure you don't have any flight controls mapped to axes on more than one device in A-10.

 

Classic example is with my Warthog and pedals. The system doesn't know the pedals are "pedals" and by default will map the 3 axes (rudder & toe brakes) to a completely unusable set of axes...one of the pedals gets mapped to pitch until I unmap it in FC2/A-10/whatever, for example.

 

Aside from that, no, there's nothing about the Warthog that would "interfere" with anything else any more than any other controller. Remember - it's just a plain ol' DirectX input device. The stick doesn't have any special functions or programming.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any mapped to the same device. Maybe the axis aren't calibrated. I haven't heard anything about axis calibration on the Warthog. I was assuming the the Warthog auto calibrates at computer startup.

 

I don't know..it just doesn't fly right. For example, at takeoff as i rotate 10 degrees and get airborne the jet is immediately rolling a bit and yawing a bit with no cross wind. Before i've even cleared the center line of the runway I'm a good 10 degrees off center line of runway heading.

I think the reason is that TO TRIM button set control to zero-state, not to trimmed according weight and giro-effect.

[DocSigma]

Isnt the sas all set up except for the arming of the pitch and yaw trim plus the depression of the TO trim button? Maybe I need to hold down the TO trim longer. When I get home I'll check the sas panel.....perhaps it's not set to weight and gyro effects when you ramp start.

T/O trim button sets the controls to a zero state. I.e. hold the button untill the light comes on.
