Pedal trim

Hi in 1.5.8 i use the the trimmer switch(not hat trimmer) and it holds the rudder pedals at that position and the cyclic in that position but in 2.2 i cant trim the pedals to stay where i want them.I constantly have use pedals.Why is this?Is it a bug or is it a change that is staying this way. Is it like this in the real Gazelle?

The real Gazele does not ahve a pedal trim.

There ae other options for it through the magnetic trim, but that depends on the version of the avionics.

So is that going to be the way it stays in 2.5? Or will there be the option to use it like some of the other choppers? And thanks for answering cheers.

I only seem to need the pedals one take off and landing. With that big ol' tail it just whips itself right into the wind and is fairly steady.

You do need a lot of right pedal at low speed or (non automatic) hover.

I bind the little red switch on my warthog hotas to x and y respectively so I can use it as a poor man's rudder trim.

For example, three clicks right and I take off poker straight. Gradually click them off as I hit ETL.

It basically saves having to keep heavy pressure on the right pedal for extended periods of time.

Just noticed the pedal trim was gone in 2.5 and IMO it's a mistake and I really don't understand the need to remove it since it was just an option?

Hope you will reconsider this and give us the option to select pedal trim again (even if the real bird doesn't have it) just like the Huey.

Love the fact that now when 2.5 is out....

Trees = BOOM! and Trees = No AI LOS

Major update for everyone but especially for us rotor heads since we now can deploy proper tactics :)

Going to make chopper play so much better with no A.I LOS and no more flying through trees especially trying to get away from fast movers on multiplayer.So looking forward to it.Also +1 for pedal trim back.

Found a workaround :)

Just edit the file "options.lua" in your config folder and change ["RudderTrim"] = false, to ["RudderTrim"] = true,

...
       ["SA342"] = {
           ["CPLocalList"] = "default",
           ["CPLocalListL"] = "default",
           ["CPLocalListM"] = "default",
           ["ControlsDisplayLocation"] = 0,
           ["EasierControls"] = false,
           ["EngineBreak"] = true,
           ["PreloadWaypoints"] = true,
           [b]["RudderTrim"] = true,[/b]
           ["StickPitchCurve"] = 0,
           ["StickRollCurve"] = 0,
           ["VibrationRate"] = 80,
       },
...

Note: It will not show up in setup GUI but that's fine with me, as long as I can enable it myself in above mentioned file :megalol:

Hi Gents

2.5.0 dll will be updated soon

:thumbup:

Any chance the cockpit texture/lighting will be tweaked? For me the cockpit is really dark compare to 1.58 or is it some of my settings (my gamma is 1.8. With same settings the cockpits in Su-33 and Huey is OK.

As said before, today is a date all DCS heli pilots will remember!
