Thanks you two. It sounds like just what I'm after for aeroplanes and helicopters. I'm not opposed to the trim button just wanted to know it would stay in position. I'm lucky to fly an A/C that needs no manual trimming.

That's one of the reasons I've been waiting for FFB for so long, changing my stick between helicopters and planes is such a pain

Dont treat it like a joystick with damper minus springs, treat it like a force feedback joystick with dampen and springback functionality

Flashgod_VR•7/15/22, 7:54 AM

the Ka-50 is more like a drohne, with the trimming button which works more like a enter key.

it can basically fly you everywhere without needing to move the cyclic, with a full flight plan and low level altitude flight following the landscape

Flashgod_VR•7/15/22, 7:55 AM

set everything up, trim the attitude you want and it goes

ddrake1984•7/15/22, 7:55 AM

So can apache and some minor with some assist gazelle/hind

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 7:55 AM

Mi-24 is almost there too, once you're trimmed you can fly around just twiddling the course setting knob

Deleted User•7/15/22, 7:56 AM

Pfft, who needs autopilot
That doesnt do the Mi-24's fantastic flight model justice

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 7:57 AM

I get so unbelievably bored doing it so I'm definitely team pitch/roll channel and nothing else

ddrake1984•7/15/22, 7:58 AM

I dont use any autopilot

ddrake1984•7/15/22, 7:58 AM

Not even spuu

in the huey, the autopilot sits left from you

Cheers! Can i get one too?

Thats why i just press C and walk away

ddrake1984•7/15/22, 7:59 AM

Guess you could use CPG in hind/apache too

Deleted User•7/15/22, 8:00 AM

Yeah, though in the apache the chance is rather great that the cpg doesnt have flight binds set up
Its by far my most advanced setup using modifiers toggles and all that stuff to cycle between flight, all systems and such

Deleted User•7/15/22, 8:01 AM

Even my modifiers needed modifiers

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 8:01 AM

Hah, y'all have friends?

Solo apache here

Single apache looking for cpgs

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 8:02 AM

For front seat flying I just have a toggle switch as a modifier that maps with the flight controls. A bit annoying to set up but it's alright

Yeah same here
I use the apu switch on the warthog for thst

Such as hiding the ihads

Do want, although cougars work ok-ish

Deleted User•7/15/22, 8:05 AM

If i ever get that far i think ill end up having to research how to make apps for android and just get myself a big tablet or two, three perhaps
Actually four? I dont think they have ultra wide touch monitors
And make an app that just creates the interface automatically depending on which airplane and such

Deleted User•7/15/22, 8:06 AM

Thats also my problem with the idea of building a complete multi-fit home pit

I think Helios still works? I used it before I got VR

Ill give it a look
I mean im nowhere near able to make anything for at home yet
But ill give it a thought

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 8:13 AM

Certainly worth it if you find a cheap touchscreen somewhere

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 8:13 AM

And you're not planning to do VR

TTheFace which grip / extension?

Khangirey•7/15/22, 9:33 AM

@sko2408MCG Pro + 200mm extension. 50+50 was the max spring weight I could get.

I know that you're not supposed to use the use an extension with the VPforce.

How would the "throw" difference compare. I like how with the extension I can really throw the stick around and it actually has enough deflection to run into my legs like in a real aircraft.

Flashgod_VR•7/15/22, 9:54 AM

with extensions, you have to counter unrealistic, wider throw angles with lower axis saturation in DCS. i usually try to match the stick movement with the virtual stick in the cockpit.

Vladinsky•7/15/22, 9:57 AM

Protip, fly the huey, most joysticks can't match that throw

Jarmak•7/15/22, 12:44 PM

This is why the Virpil gimbal has a short throw

Jarmak•7/15/22, 12:44 PM

(not the warbird)

Jarmak•7/15/22, 12:46 PM

With a 200mm extension it works out to like 4.5" of throw IIRC, I did the math out to try to make sure it was somewhat close to the jet when I was designing the setup

ah alright, i only know the warbrd...

Flashgod_VR•7/15/22, 12:47 PM

well, with a FFB base you can configure it into nearly anything
