Hello Kwikflight.
I am dealing with some issues trying to fly the hunter. The helicopter tends to pull its nose up and down a lot and also has an almost constant tendency to roll left. It does not respond to the trim commands. Could you please enable the trim for this helicopter?
It was close to impossible flying this with my old thrustmaster warthog stick, the stick is too stiff and hard to fly most helicopters. Now i upgraded to an orion2 F-16 ex stick and its better (with a very soft stick setting) but the inability to trim this is causing constant fatigue for my arm. Flying for over a few dozen minutes is causing strain and muscle pain for my arm.
I understand that you have created an autopilot feature to be used for cruising , but the autopilot parameters can not be adjusted by any mapping. thus making all my hardware controls useless and requiring me to pause my flight so i can let go of my stick (cause if i do that while in flight i will most definitely crash) and get my mouse to actually push the buttons on the in cockpit keyboard to set the proper parameters for my flight.
The whole setup of this addon is making it very difficult to fly without causing pain and strain to my arm muscles, even with those who have access to high end hotas like me. Also not using features that can be mapped through the control options is adding to the difficulty and makes the features of the autopilot hard to access, thus making the flight experience even more difficult.
Another issue i have noticed others report and am experiencing myself is that the rearmament system. Everything goes right , up until the moment that it should rearm the aircraft. Nothing happens even if the bar is at 100%. Though i must admit that i couldnt care less for that. Having weapons visually is important for immersion but actually using them in this sim is pointless.
The most important thing about any addon should be how its being flown. This is no DCS and msfs i my opnion is not so good with helicopters. But the Hunter is very hard to fly even casually cause of the choices that were made of how to implement its flight model. Can you please make it so that it can be trimmed?
Just being able to trim the cyclic would go a long way to make this a fun experience. I dont ask for apache gunship realism and rearming is only a minor concern. Being able to fly without pain or strain on my arm is a major concern though. Just being able to either "quick trim" or manually trimming the cyclic would solve most of the problems with this addon. Cause its unflyable for over 20 minutes. You just get tired fighting with it. Simply allowing to trim it would go a long way to making this much more fun and accessible.
Compared to the Striker the Hunter is most much harder to fly...i mean yeah...i know ... but at least the major issue with the striker is that is doesnt go straight right? But just by hitting a few times "q" or "e" on the keyboard you can set the rotor tail in such a way that you can make it go straight. Its an easy way to overcome its issue. But with the Hunter i havent found an easy way...well no way. Please help. If there is any workaround please tell me.
