Curves

[lefty1117]

What are you guys doing for curves?  I'm using a Logi x-56.  The heli is really fcking difficult to control at low altitude and low speed, even trimming like mad.  It just feels oversensitive at that speed.  I imagine curves would help so wanted to get a feel for what people are doing.

As curves are basically there to allow what is likely to be a relatively short physical joystick, commonly used by PC simmers, to behave as though it is a longer virtual joystick/cyclic and as that relationship is not going to be massively different from joystick to joystick, I chose to start with the curves of 8 that Wags uses in his controls video.  I've not had to tweak the curves since, so they can't be far off.

Alternatively, if your joystick allow it, you could choose to add an extension to your joystick, that makes its length comparable to the length of the Apache cyclic, which would preclude the need for a curve at all.
