Some of the NZ folks were having a similar issue earlier today or yesterday. Not sure if it they are still having it or not.

@vbazillio Vincent, please don't ever think no one notices your little details... I know I do, and I am very sure others do as well. Details at small GA airports matter and make all the difference, and custom work especially. Keep on doing what you do! 😊

WOW!!! That is exciting news and I have been hoping to hear about a potential release for the Commander 114 soon, to great to hear!

Working fine for me in Colorado.

@vbazillio Vincent, I just returned from a multi-day camping trip and saw this update last night. Got it installed, and KAJO is looking better than ever. Great stuff my sim friend, great stuff!

Oil rigs are fun too, considering that 😉

Great stuff as always @vbazillio Vincent. Just downloaded and off to install and check out in sim 😊 EDIT: Conducted a nice flight out of and around the updated KMPI in the DA Mi-2. After a couple laps around in the air, then landed and checked it with drone camera. Very nice improvements and great little GA vibe to this one!

Agree on all counts, 100%! @outermarker I will say this....if you are a fan of helicopter simming, than I think it is worth the money. And, you are really getting two different helicopters in the package.

The Mi-2 has NO automation whatsoever. It flies like a wet sponge, but in a good way. A handful to control, but in much different way than the Dauphin/Dolphin. I wasn't going to get the Mi-2 but then I watched a few videos and they had a sale, so I bit. Glad I did. Lots and lots of switches in the Mi-2, and even with the English cockpit not everything is in English. Which is cool with me....having seen the inside of a Russian exported Mi-6 Hip that my unit captured in Iraq during Desert Storm, the cockpit was labeled partly in English and partly in Russian (or maybe Polish, not sure). Overall, I am really enjoying learning to fly this tub, but you have to be predictive with the controls because of wet sponge flying...lol.

I second that control viewer from Flightsim.To....I believe it's called Input Viewer. In any case, a very useful tool when dealing with control issues or concerns. Input Viewer - Utilities for MSFS | Flightsim.to

I can agree, the TM Airbus stick is not bad for flying GA planes and such. It's just not ideal for helo flying. But you have to go with what you can until you can figure out what would work better and what you are willing to pay for.

You are probably on to something there...I am using a Virpil flight stick, which has much more fidelity than the TM Airbus stick (I have one of those two, so I can justifiably compare the two 😉). That could be a factor for sure.

@kerosene31 Welcome to the Dauphin/Dolphin family 😊 It sounds like you are on the right path. These birds are tricky, but the more you fly them the more the SAS/ASE and AFCS systems start to make sense. That said, since you are using a spring centering flight stick (I do as well), try turning OFF the Fly Through mode on the tablet. It has been suggested that that can help the issue you are having. That is what I do, and I am not having the problem you are having (I was though, when I first started learning these babies). Also, when you get ready to release the force trim button that you are holding down, try to anticipate that the SAS/ASE system will want to make adjustments to hold the helicopter on the attitude you got it to using your trim and such. If you are just letting go of the stick, and hoping the system will smooth everything out, then try to ease off the stick instead. Also, this very topic has been discussed A LOT on the Taog discord, and when the next update gets pushed Taog has said there will be a new setting in the tablet to adjust the severity or weakness of the effects when letting go of force trim. So, that may very much help with this issue too, once that update comes out. Suffice it to say, Taog is aware and working on tweaking it. Hope that gives you some insight. 😊

I have LOTS of various control options that I have used in MSFS. Plenty of Virpil controls, some WinCtrl stuff and some TM stuff. No matter what I have tried, I ALWAYS end up going back to my Virpil hardware. The build quality of the Virpil control panels and throttle are extremely good. Their flightsticks are also very good. Also, the Virpil software, which is somewhat aged, just works. And, it's no more confusing than the WinCtrl software (SimAppPro). The Virpil hardware is easy to calibrate, and in my experience stays calibrated and precise. The downside is indeed the order to delivery time. I am US based, so my orders ship from their Florida location, but always take a few months. It has been like that from my first order back in 2020 with MSFS 2020, all the way up until now. I currently have an outstanding order with them for a new base for my stick and some mounting HW. I knew when I ordered it would take a few months, but I don't mind as the quality is worth it. OTH, I have ordered several WinCtrl items, which ship fast and usually arrive at my place within days. I use them for a week and then go right back to my Virpil stuff. I no longer order any WinCtrl gear.

That DOES sound like a busy weekend of sim work for you, all in a good way 😊
