TDC slew senitivity

Recommended Posts

OK, while in TWS facing 4 ship bandit flight flying open Line abreast at 40NM out it's almost impossible to soft lock #1, #2, #3 and #4 because TDC is very jumpy. It gets better with radar range reduced to 20 or 10 but 40 and beyond is very unfriendly and unprecise. 

I use my HOTAS microstick to move TDC across B-Scope and I use curves to numb TDC but I cannot really fine tune it's precision, even the default keystrokes make cursor move more that required and that seems to be the problem. So you can lock #1, move it a tad, it jumps more than it's width and you can lock #3 making #2 unselectable.

Anyone with a workaround?

You can add curve and some additional axis limit but it will always be a compromise between precission and TDC speed.

Same for me in FC3 planes.  But in F-16 analog mini stick TDC works great.
For FC3 on TDC I use alternate mappings to keyboard,  still kind of coarse but better than analog (even with curve set to 40).

If you add a curve, then it will not. If you adjust saturation, then it will. (Of course if we are talking about analog axis).

"...it will always be a compromise between precision and TCD speed. "

If you adjust curve, 100% deflection on the joy mini-axis will still mean 100% TDC speed in game. "End speed" of TDC only reduces if you put in saturation, where full deflection of your joystick's cursor axis means less than 100% deflection in game, no matter what.

I have I guess a curve value of 65% and dead zone of 6 (TM HW, for the TDC depress function to keep TDC on target when depressing). So until I'm close to the center position, TDC will be very slow/precise), but if I push it towards full deflection, TDC accelerates up to "full speed".

Yes, you're right, that is a great explanation.
