Which Axis More Resistant?

[dresoccer4]

quick q: IRL which joystick axis should have more resistance? i'm currently using a FFB II joystick and can't tell if the axis should be swapped or not.

 

as stated in another thread, the X and Y axiis have different resistances, which seems unique to the F-16 as far as I can tell in DCS. currently the Y axis takes about twice as much pressure to move than the X axis which makes flying very challenging.

 

any info on the proper setup here would be great. thanks!

The real F-16 stick essentially doesn't move... so a realistic FFB setting is going to be somewhat impossible. But the real stick requires less force to get to full roll input then it does to get to full pitch input. So roll should be somewhat lighter I guess?

However, after initial F-16 flight tests, a ¼ inch of stick movement was incorporated to give a small dead band and a nominal breakout force to give better "feel" of a neutral stick because otherwise it was entirely too sensitive. The control harmony is quite good (the pressures required for pitch and roll mix well), but without the capability to physically position the stick, it's easy to contaminate roll inputs with unwanted pitch inputs, and vice versa

Roll feels more sensitive to me than pitch. I'd use more force for roll.
