R22 Rudder Controls not staying centered.

StimpsonJCat · December 1, 2019 at 10:13 PM

Hello, Trying to resolve an issue I'm having with Aerofly FS 2 (Steam) using a BU0836A interface controller and pedals not staying centered in the sim.

I have calibrated the controller under Windows (Win 10 64 bit Home version).

I have then calibrated the controller in the Aerofly sim under the controls window..

When I launch the sim with the R22 Helicopter, the pedals drift to full left or full right.

But when I exit the sim to the controller screen, the pedals show as perfectly centered.

It is as though the sim application is not tracking with what the controls screen is showing.

Any thought ?

Thanks

Mark

My main flight controls use BU0836a and i manage ok. Not pedals though.

Did you enable the expert mode on the r22? Otherwise control inputs for the pedals are added to stabilize the r22 and make it more user friendly. Disable that artificial flight controller by enabling the expert mode when you select the r22.

That was it....Enabling Expert mode disable the extreme pedal drift. Thanks.

But, I'm confused... It's nearly impossible to fly the R22 in non-expert mode....what is the purpose of "non-expert" mode if it makes the helicopter uncontrollable at lift off?

The non-expert mode works quite well in the air but not for longer ground operations. If you lift off within 10 seconds or so it should be fine though.
