Recommended joystick sensitivity.

[callum112233]

Hi all. What are the best sensitivity, nullzone and saturation settings to use for the F86?

I'm using a thrustmaster hotas T-flight.

 

Thanks.

I'm just getting starting and learning curve is steep. Throttle linear no dead zone, roll curve of 25 with 7 dead zone, pitch 30 with dead zone 10. Will no doubt refine more later, but it's a starting place.

From my experience I think it is best to set the roll and pitch curves to the same value or less your stick will move strange. Look at your stick in cockpit when testing. 25 on both seems a good start. Careful with the dead zone, it is much better to keep it at 0 or 1.

Cannot recommend any deadzones for any controllers and any games, unless the controller is so old and worn out it needs one to avoid spiking. So if You ever have to use one, don't ask on the forums, 'cause it depends on Your joystick only and You have to test it Yourself.

 

25% curves on the other hand is a good option for non-extended stick.

dead zone is important issue because default values(0) are too sensitive which is far from realizm.

 

find the balance of dead zone and curvative settings but a help from developers would be better

I use 0 and 0 with my TM Warthog, depends entirely on personal preference and what joystick you have

0 deadzone and curvature on my warthog aswell for all modules, so also the huey and gazelle. I do have a 7.5cm (3 inch) extension though which helps a lot with accurate control.

These guys have a excellent pdf on the operation of the F-86. I use their Joystick setup for my X52 and it works great.

 

Just look in the section on joysticks.

Had to put a space between the 'http:' and the '//' due to the code trying to place a preview of the pdf...

 

I also like the dead zones as it makes this module feel more realistic (to me)

Yes, that is Chuck Owls guide, he wrote it when he was still a member iLife 71st. His guides are very good.

For the Belsimtek products you don't need to play with curvature and sensibility. They can fly than they are :D

i am agree with you,

here that shows the recommended values for sabre and mig

Thank you theropod, I'll try those values.

I fly with a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro USB and I have dead zone set at 5 and curves at 15. This gives a very sensitive airplane but leaves a little softness around the center for precision shooting. My joystick is very precise (optical sensors) but has physical slop around the center which I don't like, hence the 5 deadzone. Don't forget to put some curve in your rudder pedals too.
