Thanks, more practice needed for in cockpit view, and controls not always so smooth in this mode.. I have been struggling just keeping the bird in the air... This video was shot to show off bugs I was experiencing.. and just happened to work great lol :D Go Figure....

Just makes no sense, but once game goes haywire nothing can fly..... Thought it was fraps at first, i was flying in expert great, trim working right off the bat....turned on fraps to record expert flight.. slowly got worse... now i notice the longer i keep game loaded... the worst the controls get and trim stops working over time and almost gives a reverse effect... (and by overtime i mean software time loaded in game) i can literrally start a new chopper and nothing works as time progresses and gets worse and worse to fly) Cant pinpoint the bug/issue.. but game is impossible to play after 2-5 minutes, needing a reboot some kind of joystick buffering problem with software, someone not clearing input? My joystick is a $500 piece of crap (i'd believe it, not liking this x65f) Please give me ideas to debug.. i'm stumped

OK, more time has past, lots more twiddling and experience learned... i have been flying and landing in expert mode, with no auto trim and no hover.... with the light wasp, which is one of the easiest i have found to work.... Now, i was flying great without Fraps recording.. when i enabled fraps recording it wasnt so easy to land, found myself fighting it really hard.. i turned down view distance and traffic, and shadow, etc and this seemed to help a bit.... But eventually i got myself landing and recorded it.. unfortunately my microphone was having issues and my speech was lost, so videos are pretty useless.. I have since fixed and will start posting videos to my youtube channel. So i think we are down to a couple possibilities... Graphics / CPU related or some sort of interupt / input lag which may be causing the impossible to understand control effects causing crashes and inabiility to control the chopper.Tthis would make sense why the Light Wasp is playable and the others like the mediums including medium wasp are hard and heavies are even harder and impossible to fly. I think i am still running BF3 beta drivers, i will update those to see if that helps any... and post back more that I find. But seems like a resource related issue

The mouse settings removed on all controls, works normal in other flight games, It doesn't give any feedback to the testing console when not using it.. Shows perfectly centered.. Sometimes my rudder pedals did cause issues in other games, but that was because it interpreted them as a controller and just spun character around... I will now try and remove rudder pedals to eliminate that possibility that its my rudders and report back ---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ---------- I have still yet to remove rudders, i went over my controller and was flying good again.. i did 5 landings.. i then alt-tabbed out and loaded fraps and recorded.. From then on i failed landing ever again.... I turned off recording and failed to land but had 10 times better control again... So you think it may be CPU related issue? polling issue? some sort of interrupt issue, driver issue? Give me ideas of things to try.. I will first try turning down all things that may help boost cpu and see if it improves... I have cleared my stick of all input except for cyclic and rudder movements and collective..

I am using the RIGHT-CTRL - NUMPAD keys for auto trim use 4,6 for left right etc.. Problem is... i program my hotas throttle hat switch to these keys, but for whatever reason.. the default camera "movement" keys get picked up as well as the trim... (non ctrl numpad buttons) Why is this happening? is there anyway around it?? I can't take my hand off my stick to hit these keys. I don't have enough keyboard keys to get away from shifted sets... So what can be done? The joystick is programming as "RIGHT CTRL- NUMPAD4" and thats the signal its sending to the game.. i test in the console

No, i have like 5 hat switches on my stick, i am not programming the POV hat on the stick, i am programming my hat on the throttle which was not assigned to anything This is just but one example... but any SHIFTED state keyset command programmed to my stick will also trigger the NON shifted state as well Example.. lets say i had CTRL-E and e for release trim... and e for eject... i would hit the CTRL-e with my stick button mapped to CTRL-E on the keyboard.. In testomg console it would register CTRL-E pressed, in game it registers as E

asus rampage III black i7 920 cpu 12 gigs corsair dominator ram 2 x nvidia 470 video cards game doesn't get stuttery, just the chopper controls go haywire, you heard of people talking about how the craft likes to roll right, after 5 minutes i can sometimes do quadruple barrel rolls in a second and other crazy stunts that are unreal

Heh can tell half the replies to me are people who did not even play the beta, the trim controls on expert in the beta were NOT continuous.. so you could only set trim once then release... So.. yeah.. not too mention im the only one who has a video on youtube landing in expert mode, no auto trim in the CP.... Bloke yoke yoke... you can't defeat the truth I was speaking... Only call me a fool, which makes you the fool cuz you'z trollin and you is auto-trimming... wouldnt help ziggy unless BI launches a game with no keyboard mouse input accepted.... One question, this may solve everything... In beta was there manual trim, left right up down, rudder l rudder r? keybinds.. I never noticed them.... They are now in retail, and this is probably what is needed to fly ;D Im actually flying 10 times easier in retail weird i turned on fraps and now cant fly... i think i found the problem/bug :D

i don't think they know how :D Not very technical here, basically from what I gather, they make the engine in one place, then just hire scripters elsewhere... and dont do much in the coding arena

i have the X65F with dual throttles, when binding my collective, i actually removed the 2nd throttle figuring its just adding unnecessary input, but now after looking at the customize dead zone settings in TokH software, it seems to detect the 2nd throttle.. Question being... Does the game support both these throttles in a helicopter? So far I can't get my chopper flying correctly, or ascend/descending correctly. Before I waste half a day testing everything, You think it may be throttle/engine related and i should add that 2nd throttle input back to the controls... ???

That's how I had it.... I think i seen a heavy chopper having two engines, this may effect this chopper I reckon, but I havnt tried it much as I was having problems with starting the thing.. seemed to be a bug on those controls

Wrong. ---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ---------- The trim is acting very "FAKE", anyone who plays with it knows what I am talking about.. To the guy who says, I should enable auto-trim.. lol, what a joke.. why even fly? Probably sums up the rest of this places true angle.. auto trim FTW! And so far, you all call me out.. but yet to see any proof.. got external videos of you flying in expert mode with stick and pedals... post em... otherwise. call out your BS all you want, its that attack on negativity that = trolling.... It appears you all just can't handle the truth. If the stick/pedal flight system in expert was anything like that in real life, there'd be a helicopter crashing every 5 minutes.

Maybe if the collective actually worked somewhat correctly & realistically. Quite frankly, i been seeing the same static phoney praise and support comments across all the outside forums as well as here.. Sounds like a lot of corporate trolls saying this and that, but fact so far is.. no one has ONCE commended the flight controls in this game with any real merit..And no one will, because quite frankly, i don't think the team has the slightest capability of covering all aspects... From what I gather, i dont even think they play this game... just develop it for Arma 3 then make whatever they can on the side... It shows 10 bucks says you cant even hover in a 500 yard radius in expert with FS&P. Yup, Im pretty much calling out the trump cards.. I've seen and tested enough. Probably have 10times the hours wasted in this software than the developers themselves

Anyone get this to work? I can set the res to some 3xxx x xxxx but never will take to other monitors... Seems like everything is "fixed" and not done mathematically, meaning in window mode, i can't stretch the screen, its always the same size no matter what rez... ---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ---------- Got it working in window mode, needed to do a full reboot not a game restart for it to expand....... Will have a screenshot or a small video of it in a few :D ---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ---------- Here you go.. Take on Helicopters Multi-Monitor Video Setup Working... (dual / triple) qCTHAMS4vWo External Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCTHAMS4vWo

Thanks! the 2 hours i spent yesterday editing controls and whatnot and getting everything perfect wiped out at the click of a difficulty setting!!! ---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ---------- also starting the game without having your usb hub plugged in wipes out your controller setup.. yeesh

yes, havn't found any use for them.. realistically im starting to think its impossible to fly with a flight stick and pedals in expert mode.. even if i can occassionally just fly normal.. i will eventually for no reason just fall out of the sky or go nuts..

never said i played with the video settings also said it was at 125%... who cares, the point of the video it works ---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ---------- i quit forums, people in real life area too anal for me.... bye

English help is needed in the training missions text. In shutdown training mission, for instance the word practice is incorrectly spelled as practise.

So should i speak Portuguese here and everything would be okay? Just put in práctica... everything will be fine then... ironically everyone will understand, at least its a real word.. not one to help uncomprehensible terms comprehended correctly by having the same word spelled differently to help the ignorant. ---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ---------- sorry didnt mean to come off.. Flippant, or whatever

re-edited above with final data and removed my rambles..

I am pretty sure if I recall correctly in the CP there was continuous trim feature, meaning you set your trim, then you could add more trim over what you did already if you wanted... But so far I only see release trim, and sometimes fine tuning is needed, and a helluva a lot easier then going back to haywire controls to get it right..... Feedback on this please :D Also, those of us who have trim dials on our throttles never seem to get a feature to support that.. will those ever be featured? i think i have 6 games and none trim to that...

Okay, some update.... Steam users can launch game in "windowed mode" and this will prevent many reloads adjusting your windowed game as it should remember last saved setting.. however if you forget, you'll have to load in game, go into full screen, then alt enter back out, then adjust windowed mode to full screen on both monitors requiring three re-loads.. "OUCH"

I working on my controller config, was going up and down trying to get the calibrarion in game working.. found that if i slam hard on my left helicopter skid.. it crashes the game... must be a missing animation or something

So, i think changing the dead space in the game config for controller rotary helped. but i did need to band the rotary's d on 33% (roll left), nothing on 67%, a on 100% (roll right) (in saitek x65f software) and it appears to work....

I already am..
