Sensitivity 0-100%. Which is the better?

[Roland_HUNter]

Hello all!

I was just curious about others opinions what are they think, advice about the sens settings in IL-2.
I'm using a T-16000M, and I used it with 0% sens.
It is better for dogfight, but it  is messed up my aim.
But the example 60% sens or more can make your plane into a stall when in sharper turn the virtual joy is catching up.

SO I'm curious, what are u saying, which are the better or its about the personal preference.


Thank you for the answers.

0% if you have a modern stick with hall sensors instead of pots.

 

You're Welcomed ?

I think personal preference is most important here but the stick really matters as well.

 

I had been using a VKB Gladiator but I'm now flying with a WarBRD and I changed from 50% sensitivity down to 0% as the WarBRD is really precise and offers plenty of resistance.

Gladiator + warbird?

I'm using an x52 Pro, but I use the same stick for flying helicopters in that other sim too, so it's on a rather soft spring. 

 Sensitivity is at 0 for everything except yaw, which is at 30 (because my pedals died and the twist grip gets mushier with age).

I was using the VKB Gladiator and now am using the VIRPIL WarBRD.

As low as you can stand.

i had an ‘aha’ movement when playing with joy springs: All sensitivity is supposed to be doing is simulating the added precision that is possible with more physical resistance/longer throw.

of course it does this in an imperfect way by smoothing and delaying input.

Pretty much what others said, always as little as possible, which mostly depends on the controllers you use, for example. I have my warthog hotas set to 0%, but since my TFRP T Flight Rudder is not that precise, setting yaw's sensitivity to 40% helped quite a lot.

Got the exact same settings. Now looking to get a better rudder. Probably MFG.

Hi gents,

 

i also use HOTAS Warthog System with sensitive to 0%, on the stick i put the big spring out and use only the small springs, my  Rudder is also on 0%. Works perfect.

You need to get used to it, as you need to be gentle on the stick and rudder.

Thanks for this thread. Time for a little experimentation based on the feedback.

I had a t.16000m very good but now I upped to a warthog hotas

for the longest time I’ve been flying with 80% sensitivity for my stick from the t.16000m ..  very smooth easy gunning.. 

 

now from this topic I tried changing it down to 0%.  What a difference!?   Way more response and natural feel..  especially formation flying... 

 

still use use a bit of dead zone, can’t help that.

 

 

my CH pro rudder pedals are a bit fidgety (very old) so they gotta sense of 50%... cause they tend to spike... probably potentiometers going... rip

 

anywho! Thanks for the post!

This also depends on the plane you fly. The Spitfire with it's neutral pitch stability benefits from higher sensitivity settings, since, for the most part, you won't use large stick deflections.

 

The other thing is this: you gotta find a compromise between being precise near center (needed for low to zero deflection shots), and being precise at larger stick deflections (needed for deflection shooting while turning). The higher the sensitivity setting, the steeper and less precise will the response be at larger deflections.
