Trim video

[press]

For those who still don't understand how the trimmer works, check out this video. Granted it's from an Mi-17, but the philosophy is the same.

...and another-one how it works in-game with a FFB set-up:

 

 

Note: There is no spring-force on the Cyclic when the trim button is hold down.

Yes and this is the thing that is still broken in DCS 1.2.3 on the Logitech G940!

Trim Controle indicator

 

Hello

I have a strange problem here.

In BS2 i can open the Controle Indicator to adjust my trimmer, but in Dcsw 1.2.3 BS2 it doesnt popup.

But in the option key config tab it seems like the key combo works because after hitting the keys, the high lighted search beam jumps to the right commandline [ show controlle indicator].

Is there something i need to check/uncheck or adjust in a lua file?

[Devrim]

Clyber, I just thought about it rightnow; Do you use multi-monitor? May be it appears, but you can't see because of multi-monitor settings or etc...

[Clyber]

Devrim your right i use multimonitor and Emc for exports. Ive learned that Multimon indeed can have some effect on the Controle indicator.However its strange that the controle appears in Bs2 with multimon but not in dcsw bs2. I dont have a clue witch file was adjusted without my knowledge,or witch file i should configure.

To relocate your control indicator, see this post.

There is a little bit of trial and error involved but it is not difficult.

Cichlidfan and Devrim, i fixed it Thanx for patiently and kindly helping me out because i really needed the controle indicator. You guys are great

the trim in BS2 is kind of broken, where you trim and then the autopilot adds 5-10 degrees more to the trim, this isnt present in BS1

[xentxo]

Is there evidence that the trim is broken?

I think is "broken" only for rudders and only for FFB users.

 

If you don't forget to put the stick to center within 0.5 seconds with "center trim" unticked on Misc Options it works quite OK. With that option "On" you have to recenter the stick so input will be taken into account. For FFB apparently there is no delay for rudders no matter the "center trim" state in Misc Options so the helicopter will jolt violently depending on speed, amount of rudder at that moment etc. Best avoidance is to trim often and quickly release rudders when releasing trim button. Or unchaining the rudders from trim with PeterP mod.

i have it unchained its a different thing, where the autopliot trims 1st of sorts and then the inpu of the virtual joystick comes making it over trim, ill post tracks

 

 

EDIT: here are two tracks showing whats happening when you trim on a normal joystick at the default trim speed, and on a ridiculously slow speed, you can see that when the virtual joystick input comes into play it causes the helicopter to over trim.
