[Reported] IRMV vertical axis slew broken

[some1]

When slewing IR maverick with an axis, the vertical slew stops if you bring the horizontal slew axis to zero, even if the vertical slew axis is stil deflected.

In other words, if you are slewing the sensor in the upper right direction, and want it to slew in the upper left (or just straight up), it will get stuck and stop moving. 

The horizontal slew axis does not have such problem. 

In the attached track I try to move the sensor in a vertical zig-zag pattern like below, but this is not possible. It will stop whenever I try to change direction.

Has this issue been fixed yet? I'm having significant problems with the vertical axis TDC slewing of the IRMV seeker.

AFAIK not really - as the issue comes from still having a input on the opposite axis (i.e. a slight input on horizontal axis can cause the vertical axis to "stick").

It can be "fixed" by setting a axis dead zone (size depends on how much drift/jitter the other axis has).

Here is an example of my Winwing TDC axis setup, which is a compromise for sensitivity vs slew speed - YMMV.

appreciate your feedback Ramsay, I'll give that a try.

I started using these settings, once you guys suggested its a problem with the axis, and low and behold; I can finally get a cross hair to lock on the Targets!!

and the axis is smoother not stuttering, any longer. 

z-axis for the mouse stick on my throttle controller.

Print-screens or any other screen shot with the UI opened in VR like this, would not take, I had to use my Cell phone to take the pictures of the UI axis tune setting.

black out screen shots are from the print screen button while UI inside UI axis tune settings. The screen shots wouldn't work in MT-Bin VR. with the UI open inside the UI axis tune settings.
