FS FORCE

BTW, I realised that 'reset FS-Force' (or re-start, I forget) resets the FSF trim and can be mapped to a button.

My observations have been, that when I want to change altitudes, or apply a small amount of back pressure when I bank, I feel the elevator response is much more drastic than in a real c172 when I am trimmed and my yoke is not at neutral Not sure if the obvious question has been asked - if you are u...

Russ, I am wondering if this is due to FSX managing the pitch axis in a non-linear way. In other words, exactly like the problem you have tackled with aileron re-mapping, but on the pitch axis. I understood that FSX did this for all analog axes. I tried checking this out by loading up the default C1...

The new feature for setting the buttons used to operate trim and other functions from the GUI does not work for me. When I click in the box for the function I want to set (Trim UP, let's say) it appears to work on the assumption that all joystick buttons are UP (i.e. no button is being pressed). It ...

Thanks Russ, hope for a chance to try it this weekend!

It's not as sophisticated as I'd like it to be. It simply uses the "display name" of the controller, and that is because of a "controller order" issues that came up in P3Dv3.1, which LM tried to fix in 3.2 with a new SimConnect function. But the new function also only used the display name. I have ...

Thanks for 2.9, some welcome changes in there. I have not installed yet because I read the bit that said 'controllers are now referenced by name' . I just wanted to ask how sophisticated is this? I ask because other apps have problems with multiple devices having the same name. For example, I have s...

I have not found a way to reset the FSF trim to 0. Sometimes it would be convenient to do this with a button. Is there way that I have missed? I can see Lvars called FSForceTrimType and FSForceTrimValue but poking values into them doesn't seem to have any effect. On a related note, it is very inconv...

Okay thank Russ, I never tried that. I will report back

You are right (of course). Thanks!

I have noticed that with aileron re-mapping on, the aileron NULL zone set in the FSX controls dialog is ignored. (I am guessing this is an unintended consequence of you somehow bypassing the FSX aileron calibration, as I have also noticed that with aileron re-mapping on, I still have aileron control...

The documentation doesn't make it clear, and I'm not sure if I've ever tried it, but looking at my programming code, it should be possible to assign both of those functions to controller buttons. Awesome! I just tried this and it works: ReInit=Joystick:1:Button:20 Restart=Joystick:1:Button:22 [P.S....

Yes, I was doing this. I have changed the elevator axis to be controlled by FSX and that seems to have sorted the problem.

Thanks.

I am happily flying with FSF and an Iris yoke, but I am still a bit puzzled by the interaction of FSX and FSF trim systems. Why do we need access to the FSX trim at all? I have noticed that it does affect the aircraft, so if I dial in full back trim (FSX) my FSF neutral trim position (yoke centred, ...

Iris Dragonfly yoke / FSX. AP follow appears to work. The 'yoke offset' issue occurs as described and is usually small, fixed with a yoke reset' button I have mapped. BUT often when I switch the AP off I have a very large forward trim (e.g. -99) and the aircraft immediately nose-dives. This happens ...
