F16 stick axis sensitivity

[Gunfreak]

I'm flying with a Winwing F18 stick on extender, and I feel the F16 is kinda sluggish, I'm having a real problem with AA refuling as there feels like a real lag between moving the stick and when the plane moves. What are the best option to make the extended stick feel more responsive?

Truth is that the only time the F-16 feels right in DCS is when in CAT I. In CAT II it is very slugish and in Landing gain Mode it is even worse. Make sure you have it in CAT I for now until they fix it.

The reason for this behaviour is that the F-16 has a force sensing stick in real life rather than a deflection type and it's modelled like that in game. 

To 'simulate' a force sensing stick with a normal joystick, add -25 curvature to the axis curve in the control menu to the pitch and roll axes.

And again, I have use force sensing, it does not help. Your hardware is not the problem. Please read my comment.

What are the numbers so can compare? I would have thought an extender was worst possible means to get responsive action.

Adding -25 curves made it much better. 

[Amerik]

Good to hear. It puzzled me at the start too.

If you have a force sensing stick you can also fiddle with the saturation to make the axis more responsive. It doesn't have to be 1:1. Not so with moving axis though. Personally I never got used to using an extension with the F-16, so i took it of and side mounted my Virpil, which was perfect.

IM having this issue, adding curves made it a bit better but still feels nowhere like a hornet or jeff for example.

Has there been any improvement on this front.. the f16 for me feels like flying an airliner... the roll axis is really sluggish especially.  My curves are set to a massive negative curve

[cmbaviator]

i find to opposite, the F16 pitch and roll axis is oversenstive, one degree deflection and i'm almost doing a barell roll, makes dogfight and overhead brake waay harder in my opinion. The Jeff 17 feels way better in my opinion, easy to control the aircraft

Very strange !

for me is like it has delay. adjusting the curves doesn't help for me

Yes!! All of a sudden...maybe last open beta patch. I roll left or right its like i have a huge deadzone assigned which i dont. Move stick....nothing. Then all of a sudden it rolls hard. Pitch doesnt behave this way...just roll. I find it hard to fly straight and level now cause of the "delay". im rocking back and forth. Virpil warbrd base and alpha grip if it matters. This is the only module its happening in.
