I have also had a different, fairly consistent issue, while I'm at it, that I have been meaning to ask about. Fairly often - most often when switching to the F-14 - I will find myself in a situation, where I have FFB coming from the game, but trimming doesn't work! I have no idea why. It's a bit of a dice toss every time I enter a plane, whether it will have trim or not. Most of the time, it will, but every... I wanna say 20%-25% of the times, it doesn't. The only solution appears to be to restart DCS.
I don't know where the fault lies here, and it's not something that is consistent enough that it is easily reproducible. There isn't a specific set of plane and mission that just triggers it every time. Honestly feels like it's just DCS randomly fucking up...
Any ideas on this one?
