James M Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Well, I havent been able to find anything marked trim on my ship or in the setting/control menus so.. If thats the issue, Ive got no idea how to fix it. On 1/17/2018 at 2:32 AM, James M said: Well, I havent been able to find anything marked trim on my ship or in the setting/control menus so.. If thats the issue, Ive got no idea how to fix it. Expand On my yaw meter, without sas on, I see an orange tick 2 clicks to the right from center. When I move across the yaw axis, the orange tick moves accordingly but a purple tick remains in its place. Im assuming that would be the trim. Whatever it is, its rotating my craft to the right across the yaw axis constantly. Edited January 17, 2018 by James M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SAS on it is straight, but turn SAS off and the craft goes in to a spin. I notisted the dubble sort of triangles in the bottum left corner too. Without SAS and not touching the controls they are off center. I dont know how to correct this or if it is a bug. But it makes no sense to me.

DD_bwest Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 yea i had the trim problem earlier. i couldnt figure out why my craft had phantom forces on it. look down in the corner at the little markers that show rotational forces and look for little pink arrows along the usual ones, if they are there you got the trim set on. just quickly look in the control tab and look for "reset trim" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor9 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Aircraft trim provides for decreased pilot workload by adjusting fine control input. As an aircraft accelerates through different airspeed ranges, altitudes, or burns fuel or loads/unloads payload, it may be desirable to provide a small amount of input in one or multiple axes, to prevent a pilot from having to keep those control inputs in manually.

Broke dead dogg Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just watched a review on YouTube by Scott Manley who mentioned a limited keyboard support in relation to things like control groups, but I'm not sure if that was for PS4 only.

Cheif Operations Director Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I have another review to make. I absolutely love the idea of Plasma Blackout but I think you should be able to transmit during it instead of losing control. Cassini on its plug toward Saturn had pre programmed movements so... I think that losing control is weird because in the real world than usally never happens if the ground crew wants something out of its last moments. For example I'm launching a survey satillites it will EVENTUALLY loss its usefulness for me so when I de orbit many I can get some last science out of it BEFORE I hit plasma blackout, Also please add a CLEAR BUTTON that enables and disables trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
