I have the Orion 2 joystick base (with F16 grip) and I noticed that the centering (as viewed in SimApp Pro) is not quite accurate: The absolute center has the value of 32768, but the centering is off by about 50-100 units or so, and it actually fluctuates: The reading might be, say, 32650, and after making some inputs and letting the stick center again, it might center to 32700. I have updated the firmware and calibrated the axes. I don't use deadzones. The effect on gameplay is negligible, and the stick feels completely smooth. Still, I'm curious if others have similar "issues", or do your sticks center perfectly even with deadzone set to zero? Best regards, Joonas

Well I'll be... Just as you suspected, the brakes were reversed, so I was indeed braking. Works like a charm now! Taxiing also became a lot easier, lol :music_whistling: Thanks for the help!

No brake input :)

Hello I've been practicing those tricky Case I landings, great fun. Still a little wobbly, but more often than not I hit the deck on speed with a 600-700 ft/min descent rate. After that, however, strange things happen: 1) As the plane comes to a stop, the wire yanks back on the plane, throwing the nose several feet up in the air. 2) The wire gets stuck in the hook, leaving my plane dangling from the wire, unable to escape. 2) seems to happen almost 100% of the time if I follow the procedure of going full military power upon touchdown. On the other hand, If I go idle throttle immediately, the wire usually disconnects, but 1) still happens. I tried to search the forums for answers, but couldn't find any mention of this happening to anyone else, which makes it even stranger. I'm using the VFA-113 practice mission file. What are your thoughts on this? Best wishes, Kyyge
