Recommended curvature and saturation settings?

[Kornskydiver]

Hey guys, I have a 15cm extension on my warthog and I was wondering what curvature and saturation settings you would recommend for the Huey? I am looking for more realism with accurate throw on the cyclic collective and rudders. Any insight or recommendations would greatly be appreciated

I am using slightly modified G940, here are my cyclic axis settings:

I am slowly working torwards full range of motion, I will be setting curve from 83 to 85 tomorrow, next week 88 etc. As for collective I am using pretty much linear curves. My pedals have very short travel range, so I have to work around that :/

Thanks for sharing! So what setting lessens the throw of the cyclic? After seeing videos of people flying the Huey, these guys are BARELY moving the cyclic an inche...it seems to be a very sensitive bird for sure

saturation y gives you less ingame motion in exchange for less sensitivity. Let's remember RL cyclic travel range is much wider than our joysticks :) If you wanted to move a joystick LESS, then I guess you could play with Saturation X leaving Saturation Y on 100. But that can make flying really, really tricky.

Tom Baca, a well known and respected Viet Nam Huey pilot said that he could get the helicopter to do whatever he needed without moving the cyclic more than the size of a silver dollar.

 

It's obviously not the same experience on a computer especially with a short throw stick and no real acceleration/deceleration reference but I think curves are only needed to compensate for cheaper pots around the centers.

 

My 2 cents.

He was right. That's what my settings work like after you change Saturation Y from 83 to 90 (I am currently at 87, will move 90 next week). You can disregard curvature too, and make it linear.

Lots of us know but if I said I said it most would be like, "What?"
