2- Does it work correctly with autopilot, i.e. moves when it should (and the movement does not force an AP disconnect unless I move it myself.yes,
<<<<Did you need to do something special to make this work? When I activate the AP in FS2020 in the G1000 C172, it starts oscillating back and forth with further rotation each time until it’s completely out of control making autopilot entirely unusable.
I’m not sure precisely what you mean. If you hold the aircraft at a fixed attitude, adjusting the trim will relieve the back pressure as you’d expect (or increase it if you go too far or the wrong way). I don’t think the elevator moves in that situation, but I’ve never watched it. I would expect that to be an issue on the sim side if that were the case, but since both the attitude and yoke remain unmoved (because you are holding it in place) I wouldn’t expect the elevator moves.
You need to bind them in FS2020 Controls Options.
Select CLSE MK II YOKE (or whatever you are using), then click in “Search by name” and type “trim”. Make sure FILTER is set to ALL. Scroll to the bottom of the list to find ELEVATOR TRIM DOWN (NOSE DOWN) and ELEVATOR TRIM UP (NOSE UP). Click on the empty grey box to bring up the binding dialog. Click in the top field with the Search icon. Press the desired button on the controller (e.g. the roller switch up). This should fill in the top box w/ e.g. [5]. Click Validate, then bind the other similarly.
Click Save profile at the bottom before you exit the control options page (though I think it’ll prompt you if you don’t).
Certainly in the GA aircraft, I notice a tendency to bank to the right as well (w/ CLS-E MK II). I had been assuming it was p-factor, but have never flown any of these planes in person.
The other issue that has been bothering me is how brakes react. There are a couple of issues involved, and I imagine just having a Brunner engineer sit down and slowly press the CLS-E Toe Brakes at different degrees and watch what happens in cockpit in a Cessna 152 or 172 in MSFS 2020 would be clearer than trying to describe the various issues. Mostly, it seems over sensitive. Sometimes just pressing lightly, causes the simulator to apply full brakes. It’s possible this is just a limitation with MSFS’s SDK, and if that is the case, it would be good to get Asobo to address that on their end then.
BTW: If you use the CLS-E in GA aircraft in MSFS2020 (though this likely applies to other sims as well), do yourself a favor and get a trim wheel controller. I couldn’t find one online, so I wound up making one myself with my 3D printer, a rotary encoder and Arduino hooked up via MobiFlight. It was a bit of work, but definitely worth the effort.
Guess I posted too soon. So I found the “Yoke is pulled forward by Elevator weight” option under the CLS profile manager Effects tab. With that disabled, there is still a similar effect, but it’s not so debilitating. I suspect the issue is that the profiles are all tuned for the strength of the NG and the new MKII is just crazy more powerful. I’ll have to play with settings more.
For brakes not working, all I had to do was go into the Analog Inputs tab where they are bound, press the Cfg button and run the Start Auto Calibration. Latency is still there (at least on the rendered models in cockpit) but at least they respond now.
Update: I’m having slightly better luck with the “Cessna 172 SP – Stefan Brunner” cloud profile, although the brakes do not appear to work using that.
The ailerons are extremely slow to respond; the yoke takes a huge amount of pressure to pull back, or push forward.
I am seeing similar behavior.
I just received and setup my CLS-E MKII yoke and rudders. I have the yoke connected via USB and the pedals connected to the yoke via CAT-5. CLS2Sim setup went fine, settings set to FSX.
As soon as I connected to FS2020, the yolk went full forward. While idling, I cannot pull it back without applying more force than makes me feel like I’m going to break the controller.
Once I start taxiing, it loosens up a bit, but seem erratic and causes the C172 I’ve been testing to roll and nose over.
Actuating the brakes seem quite latent.
I have not installed vJoy as per the instructions on the title post.
I am using the default profile.
