Charly_Owl Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hi everyone, I've been trying for a while now to do some air-to-air refueling with the Mirage and I am realizing that I am having some trouble with doing precise movements. I either steer too much or not enough to "catch" the basket with my probe... I was wondering... what curves do you use on your joystick? Have you got any particular presets that might be useful for such a daunting task and a-2-a refueling?

Kreye Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hotas warthog Zero curves, practice practice I second this. Personally I think that it only feels a little bit weird because the FBW in the M2K makes the plane feel different in terms of precise movements compared to the A-10C. After you've got a feel of it you shouldn't have any more problems as I pretty much had the hang of it after 5 minutes. But I agree, the Mirage definetly makes overcompensating easy.
baltic_dragon Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Although I agree that no curves are needed for the stick, I found adjusting the ones for throttle useful for AAR and formation flying. Without it, it is just too sensitive and it is difficult to keep constant speed. For more information, please visit my website.

Andrei Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I've got a noisy X52-Pro and keep the curves around 11.

Sporg Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 An alternative option for the Warthog stick could be an extension. This gives more precise movements without curves.

firmek Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Sorry for deviating from M2000 but I think it would be interesting to share opinions on using the curves as such. Not only specifically for M2000 but in general. Initially I was thinking that they are a good idea, maybe more needed for the rudder and breaks than for controlling the pitch and roll. But after some practice I’m coming closer to the conclusion (maybe a wrong one) that flat (direct) input is better for building the muscle memory. I find using the curves creates a feeling similar to operating a mouse with acceleration enabled.

Voodooflies Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I use no curves at all. Just some deadzones because of my rusty joystick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
