Lose control of stick after trim

[schkorpio]

Since around the 1.2.5 patch I've been having trouble trimming.

 

About 1 in 10 times when I trim, the game doesn't recognise that I've returned my stick to the center, and I lose all control of the shark.

 

I can correct it if quick reach out to the keyboard and hit one of the arrow keys, but thats not idea obviously as by then my shark is already 1/2 crashed :)

 

anyone else noticed the same thing recently?

 

using a warthog hotas.

schkorpio, i also have a warthog hotas, i just went in and tested after reading your post. i am having no problems trimming. i do have "Central Position Trimmer Mode" enabled in options. For some reason i have better results with trimming with that enabled.

Thanks, I must be doing something silly then :) ( i might try adding a dead zone )

 

 

I believe Central Position Trimmer Mode should be enabled unless you have a FFB joystick.

 

EDIT : NOPE! Dead zone did not fix it - if anyone has any suggestions i'm all ears :)

Are you returning your pedals to center as well?

PeterP's Unchain rudder from trim mod is superb and only requires a little work to install... however I do not know if it compatible with 1.2.5.

 

The Kamov then behaves more like the Huey (in regard to the pedals) when trimming.

FWIW, I prefer the Ka-50-style rudder trim, as it makes all of my primary controls behave the same with respect to the trimmer.
