ive never used force trim reset, i dont even have it bound. does a real heli have a reset?
ive never used force trim reset, i dont even have it bound. does a real heli have a reset?
HYes the H145 has a force trim reset.
Sbeats me, try these scenarios - 1. bound only in-game with hpg 2. bound only in telemffb. 3. bound both places
HBasically what is is when I'm sitting here in the heli and hit the trim release and put it to a new position it starts to fall forward
Sdo you have some nonzero value for constant/ friction in configurator?
HHmm that might be it
Sshouldnt need much, try starting with this
HWhat do you have in effects?
S
Sbut those are for when the game isn't doing anything. the spring/displacement mapping applies in game though.
HSwhoa thats really weird.
Sthere was a debug mode on the mfd for the AFCS but i forget how to show it.
Si think number481 and/or exil will need to help on this one
HThat's in VMS/Syst/ that shows the whole afcs and if you go to control it shoes the flight controls

FDoes this only happen in the sim? Or also without the sim on? And also did you do the balance spring setup to compensate for the weight of the grip and extension?
FIn your video posted on the diy section I noticed that your balance spring setting is disabled. You want to disable all effects and enable the balance spring effect. Then modify the force values to where you can move the stick in any position and it will stay in that position.
FOnce that's done then reenable all your settings.
HHi Billy, so the balance spring isn't supposed to snap it back to center?
HI enabled the balance spring and have it set to 50% and when I push and let go it tries to go back to center
FThe balance spring has 4 values. Basically it applies a force opposite to where it's put away from the center. You don't need much force on it. Just little by little adjust until your stick doesn't spring back
FIt's a must for extensions and heavy sticks
FJust make sure all other effects are disabled as you tweak it until you find the right settings
F50% is too much for sure specially with the powerful 86 motors.
HI have all effects off
FStart with the Y axis to the front. Then find what setting will allow the stick to stay put when you move it forward.
FThen Y axis to the back. Then X axis left and right. Then tweak when doing diagonals.
HFYes it won't be perfect but it will be good enough. Then when you add all other effects specially friction. It will be even better.
HBut in telemffb there are model overrides in the settings. Would I check those on or leave off. Seems to have some important values there
FAs long as it doesn't override the balance spring
FThat needs to be set all the time.
FWith the values you have tweaked in the configurator.
HIt has a cyclic spring gain which I have checked on at 100%. Currently I'm moving the stick with the spring on and force trim and it appears to stay in place without running the sim
FPerfect. Then you found the right values from your set up.
FNow it's a matter of trying the sim and if it doesn't work... Some telemffb tweaks may be needed.
FOr if you like the way the configurator values feel (spring gain etc) just check the sticky option on the configurator and they won't be overwritten.
HWhat I notice is when friction is on the stick doesn't come back to center when I press trim reset. I don't have adaptive re-centering on
FSet Adaptive recentering on
FIt will definitely help with that
FOtherwise it will try to come to the center but fall short due to the friction.
HI just spoke to the engineer and nope no trim release on this heli
HThe reset on the cyclic only clears the acknowledgements on the mfd
FOne less thing to worry about haha
HWith that being said then adaptive re-entering isn't needed am I correct?
FI don't think so
FSince you aren't changing the center and the sim is never trying to center it there
HOkay perfect, really appreciate the help! I'm going to try in sim and see if it's okay
FIt should be much much better now!
FBy the way. When you test the autopilot. If it works by moving the center... You will need adaptive recentering on.
