Joystick settings

[Nanoton]

Good afternoon!

How do y'll feel about the sensitivity setting? Is it advisable to have no curves or should you have some? Is it good or bad for aiming?

 

Do you have anyelse nice tips about your joystick settings?

I've got the Ch Fighterstick if it matters.

 

Best regards Nanoton

I don't, I think of it the same as using pointer acceleration or smoothing in shooters. It may make fine control easier at first but it messes up your muscle memory and worsens your ability to make quick and precise adjustments.

Had to change my vote after trying it again without curves. First it was too sensitive and the nose was jumping up and down. I increased the deadzone and the result was very good. Much better than with curves.

I've been testing this the whole weekend, and though it makes aiming easier it has a negative inpact on how well you ''feel'' your plane while doing maneuvers. For pure dogfighting i think that a linear setting is the best, but for a more relaxed flying curves is the way to go. Allthough its negatives I decided to go with using the curves.

As an example the FW 190 uses a bell crank system on the rudder pedals to give less sensitivity around the centre in real life, a bit of curve on the rudder axis will give you a more authentic experience, and avoid the twitchiness a linear input will give, allowing finer control for 'tracking' but with more authority with bigger inputs

 

My only complaint is that at the moment it is not possible to set different curves for individual A/C, but overall curves are not a bad thing and can give you better historical accuracy and more correct feel, most WWII fighters actually did not handle like an Extra 300 aerobatic aircraft
