Need some help(controlling the Ka50)

[strongbird]

Hey people,

 

Iam quite new to the Black shark.

 

My issue is when iam in mid air flying and i stabilise the aircraft, when i use the rudder left/right it automaticly keeps going back to its position it was at before i ruddered it. also when you do this inflight and then use the aircraft to get it in position it still goes rudder left/right.

 

It might sound a bit weird how i typed it out.

Sorry for bad english.

 

Thanks,

Make sure you trim after every attitude adjustment, however small. Trim, trim and trim again - all the time.

Welcome!

 

Sounds like a standard unfamiliarity with the trimmer operation. Please refer to the Rookie pilots - Quick Intro and search for mentions of 'trim'.

As already mentioned, learn about the trim. The theory of it is simple, in pracitce its very hard to use, expecially in BS2!

If you want to fly it like a normal 'helo" turn on Flight director mode. Otherwise, turn off the heading channel on the autopilot and it wont try to keep you on course ;) have fun

how do i enable flight director and what does it actualy do?

May I ask you if you've actually read the manual? The answer is there.

Not only that - it has been re-capped in the User FAQ topic. So strongbird please follow the link I posted earlier. We can provide you with a short answer now only to see you stuck 10 minutes later i.e. there is no cutting corners in the long run in the DCS world ;)

A great way to get into the game is to watch the producers notes

 

 

They are from the first game but still as valid.

If the bearing is constant no matter what direction you turn, this is your autopilot heading hold channel. Assign a HOTAS command to this. next to turn and stay in that direction, turn off that channel, twist the rudder and stabilise in desired direction, then engage the channel back. if you want a demo track let me know.

 

If the channel is off and the bird is still turning, you've locked the rudder into a trim. Reset trim, and check your rudder centered by Rctrl+Enter (lowermost horizontal bar)

And let's not forget that wonderful tool by the online squadron "Virtual Warhawks," The Black Shark Pit Trainer. If one wants to learn the cockpit inside and out, there is really no better training tool than this little gem.:joystick:

One won't miss it if one's willing to commit to really read the Rookie pilots - Quick Intro single-post topic ;)

are you using flight peddles, twist joystick or keyboard for rudder? It is a lot easier with a set of peddles (except you then have to figure a way to untether them from the trim, I have a button on my hotas mapped to z to reset rudder trim)

could you explain the problem with peddles and trim? I've always used pedals and have never noticed anything specific with them apart from the normal trim function.. maybe this is part of reason sometimes it goes into a wild spin.
