Is This Trim Thread Still Relevant in BS2?

[ErichVon]

I play in full sim mode, both DCS sims.

 

The A-10C I can fly, navigate to target area, blow stuff up with missiles, and usually RTB, even re-arm/ re-gas and go out again.

 

I can now start-up the BS2 in about 10 minutes and taxi to the runway.

 

Hovering, flying, etc. ? Ha, Ha, Ha! :megalol:

 

If I start in the air, I last a little bit longer.

 

Like I said, I am getting faster starting this sucker up and maybe ejecting out alive.

 

Is this thread still relevant to BS2 as to trimming? It is rather dated.

 

Thanks

Yes the trimming system works as before. Since 1.0.2 patch there has been an alternative way of using the trimmer and you can set it in the options. You could try it if you are having major problems with recentering the stick in time but I still prefer the original.

 

Central Position Trimmer Mode. When selected, enables the alternate method of trim system implementation for non-force-feedback joystick devices. Using this mode, the player's control input is unrecognized after the trimmer button is pressed-released, until the controls are returned to a neutral position. This prevents the player from having to quickly return the controls to neutral after pressing-releasing the trimmer button, as is necessary using the default trimmer implementation.

Yes, I unchecked the box concerning the newer trim controller in BS2: Options\Misc. I have been using the older method of trimming, releasing the button and centering the stick within .5 seconds. I do have my CH Fighterstick too high. I need to figure out a way to place it on a pedestal between my legs, then I would have better control of the trimmer button.

 

Hovering is still hard. I can fly it and navigate waypoints. And land it, but not land it on a designated pad, yet. It is coming slowly, step by step.

 

Thanks for your reply.
