Viersbovsky Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I have finally finished repairing and greasing up my new HOTAS, and decided to take the Dora for a spin in the Intercept mission. So, I activated my controls indicator and was instantly baffled: When rolling, the maximum stick throw went only 3/4 of the way. The pitch worked fine, though. I thought, maybe the Warthog is busted, or badly calibrated, so I used the Thrustmaster calibration program. Still, the same behaviour, and everything looks fine in the axis-tune menu. I then started looking for conflicts with other input devices and re-did all bindings - still the same. After some testing, when I keep rolling (just hold the stick all the way to the left), the maximum possible throw slowly gets ever narrower - down to maybe 20% of the way! It slowly crawls towards the center. I tried other planes, and behold, no such behaviour. I then tried a cold start, and the controls work as they should when on the ground. Then it dawned on me: Maybe the maximum throw depends on airspeed and I just never realized this? Or maybe this is an effect that was simply added in the newest patch? Sooo, the question is, is there something wrong with my setup, is this a bug, or just the way things work with the Dora? edit: Damn it, a typo in the title, go me...

Viersbovsky Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 thats a feature and its there ever since i can remember...yeah, stick throw depends on the speed.you will also see that in the p51 Thank you for clearing that up, i guess I just never realized it then (kind of embarassing after 15 hours in the Dora). With the influx of planes with fly by wire systems like in the Su-27 that dynamically adjust your input and planes taking into account the effects of airspeed, maybe it would be nice to have a "true input" indicator" as well? Just a second, blue cross in the indicator that indicates your joystick input while the red one keeps displaying the "simulated" input? Just an idea though, I am now going back to testing out the ´hog. Callsign "Lion"
