Im enjoying BS but its becoming increasingly frustrating. Im using a Saitek X52 and Saitek pedals. Randomly the cyclic will just lock up in game, usually after a trim input. This means that from anything between 1 and 10 seconds I have no control over the Helo. This is making the whole experience very frustrating and I have searched for someone with a similar problem or a solution on the web, so far to no avail.
Any suggestions ???

Im not having control issues in any other sim..FSX. IL2 ARMA II etc

This a new feature of the trim system in the new patch, there will be no control input until your joystick and pedals are re-centred.

You can switch back to the old trim method in the options. However once you understand what is going on the new method allows smoother flying.

aaahhh, I was looking for something like that and can't wait to try. I'm actually pretty happy with the trim for the cyclic (though it does get me fooled from time to time, it hasn't actually wrecked me yet), but the twist on my X52 was always hard to get where it needed to be. Good thing they're all individually customized!
