Constantly rolling to one side?

[JCamel]

Su-25T seems to constantly roll to the right (right wing down), despite symmetrical weapons load. Is this normal?

[speckfire]

Could be the nose wheel that is not centered.

When in game try RCTRL+ENTER and verify your controller input is ok

[JCamel]

Thanks, I 'll try that.

[JCamel]

Yeah, the axis mapping is jumping about. I've tried it in other games and it works fine.

 

Sometimes it pulls right, sometimes it pulls up. Bug? It started off fine then went haywire part way through a mission.

[HiJack]

Track? Su-25T works fine. You are aware of the fact that weight is shifting as you fire weapons right?

[Hoozin]

I would double-check all of your axis inputs. The first time I flew the Su-25T, unbeknownst to me, it had mapped a slider to a throttle and my left throttle to the rudder.

[HiJack]

I also think there is problems if you start engines before you switch on main power. Check your startup prosedure.

 

EDIT: I always switch on power first and then waits until all needles is aligned before starting engines.

Found this in an old thread

 

1 - Electonics on : Shift + L

2 - Throttle to idle <- Very important, as scotsman pointed out

3 - Start left engine : Alt + Home

4 - Start left engine : Shift + Home

(or both with RWin + Home)

5 - Dont touch the throttle until rpm settles (around 35%)

Not if you are a cheating git and use the unlimited weapons cheat.

 

What I've noticed is that after I use combat steer with the autopilot it goes off on one as soon as I end it with LAlt+9. Then after I use it again, it comes back to centre once LAlt+9.

 

Sometimes pulls right, sometimes pulls up. I'll post this track as soon as I finish.

The Auto pilot steers by adjusting the trim position. If you disengage it the chances are that it isn't in a trim neutral position. Engage the level flight Autopilot mode and then disengage it after it has stabilised.

Having tried with a different controller I get the same problem to less of a degree. After experimenting with some Vikhrs at the end you'll see the small offset on the axis.

 

I think the problem may lie with dead zone programming for people using controllers. I.e. the sticks are still reading a small input when none is present.

Would that affect the input axes seen using RCtrl+Enter though?

Air start.

[JCamel]

Another one. At the end after the 12+km Vikhr kill;) it just goes up (down on the axes indicator). I'd love to blame the XBOX controller but don't feel it's guilty.

Yes I believe so. Why not adjust your deadzone and curves in the options?

Aha, didn't spot that. Thanks.

[JCamel]

Okay, still not spotting it.

 

Found it. Okay JOY_X, JOY_RX, JOY_VX, JOY_YX. The difference? XBOX controller.

read here how to check your controller:

Sticky: corrupt calibration? crazy joystick response? Use this tools Fix it: ( 1 2) PeterP

XBOX Controller??? :doh:

[159th_Viper]

You have three dayglo trim lights - use them ;)

XBOX Controller??? :doh:

 

Hey, I know some very capable keyboard fliers. So don't scoff.

XBOX Controller??? :doh:

 

Strap it to the table, extend the sticks and you have a pretty good tank/artillery controller. ;)

[PeterP]

XBOX Controller??? :doh:

*cough-cough*...

 

;)Lets wait some time and I bet you will get one too (OK! ...besides a decent stick):

 

Look what's in the back-seat of some cockpits ... it's not really far away from a X-Box controller.

 

BTW: I have a game-pad set up for my nephew - so I can control the weapons of the A-10 with it while he is piloting and controls only the GAU-8.

I'm giving up. Su-25T sim just isn't a finished article. The plane is impossible to land, the autopilot function don't work for shit and the stick response is crazy. Maybe one day it'll be finished and I'll buy it then but at present it's an unplayable POS.
