Joystick Issues / Frustrating / Jusk Asking.

[Angels-6Runwayrht]

Not whining just really perplexed & trying to learn.

 

Should there really be this many issues with joystick configurations with an awesome sim such as this BOS?,

I own all of the il2 Sims & have never had this many  problems, yes its still moving forward & maturing but Joystick issues?

Its the heart of control for a flight sim..

 

I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - and the pitch down is unplayable the aircraft (any one) jerks down with no control of motion

Just does a nose dive? & can't be adjusted smooth with the Noise, sensitivity, dead band sliders to the far right.

You push forward to dive & it wants to lawn dart !!, roll & Yaw are fine throttle takes a bit of tweaking but is ok.

 

Then I hooked my Thrustmaster HOTAS and that does work better but then none of the F keys work on the keyboard

Crazy weird.

 

Then we have my old trusty X52 , I've read the issues with that too but have yet to plug her in & try it. Will do that shortly.

 

Both Logitech & Thrustmaster sticks are 1 week old.

X52 2 years old.

 

So in an modern technical marvel of this caliber and in this day & age of programming  &  tech no how why do we still have all these issues I have been reading on this board with the sticks??. Isn't it a bit odd? To have the issues ..

 

My rig.

Win 7, Q6850Quad core, 8Gigs Ram, Asus 750Ti, now this is still a 775 system & I run Ultra settings smooth as glass.

Proc at 4.2 GHz. Zalman cools it beautifully. No issues with with running any flight  Sim or shooter I can ever remember.

 

I don't have uber tech skills but good jeez should there still exist all these Joystick config issues?.

And my other flight Sims you just plug in and all is recognized beautifully configure your buttons & away ya go.

 

IL-2 46 no problems.

COD no problems.

DCS no problems.

 

 

My arcade flight games my Son plays configures with ease.

Yes they are not near in the same caliber as this BOS Sim but they recognize the sticks with ease.

 

Again just asking & do love the sim & will help support it best I can.

 

1st posting hope its in the right section.

Happy Thanksgiving .

Have you tried calibrating these joysticks within Windows before using them in BoS?

When you say they don't respond smoothly it sounds like calibration. I used to have a 3D Pro for Rise of Flight and it worked ok. Maybe try the USB Game Controllers screen in Windows and see if calibrating them helps.

If the Logitech stick is new and doesn't work, it could just be defective.

Yes sure have tried calibration , I  think its the the game & the 3D Pro & its only on the pitch down nothing else. Maybe the new patch ? but so many people are having issues..

 

Thank you for the suggrstion

Suggestion: You can record a track in game and attach there for people see how is the problem and maybe help better.

 

To start record is: LCtrl+R.

 

The file is saved in:

 

...\IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad\data\Tracks\

 

Sample

 

freeflight.2015-11-21_18-56-39_00.trk

freeflight.2015-11-21_18-56-39_00 <<< a folder

 

The first name depends on game mode used.

Select both files, add to ZIP/RAR file and attach there. 

 

Use the "More reply options" and the "clip" - Choose Files -  bellow the response box.

Do you have the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software?

Maybe that has some type of calibration control

When you are in the BoS menu, do you see the axis responding smoothly through its full range?

Try delete - Data / input folder and restart (maybe copy and backup first) if in windows game controller calibration all is ok, sounds like mapping issue
