Anyone found some settings they like with the F16 FSSB?

[Gunfreak]

I can't find anything I like with any settings, tried various ones, but none seem to work for me.

Yes, I have after a LOT of fiddling around.....

I use the mixed force and movement option, with the slider set a little past halfway to the right ( You can try tweaking this to suit.....) 

I have set the forces down to about 25% on each axis

I have set approx a 10 saturation curve in DCS axis tune.

For me, this gives a nice mix - You dont want it too twitchy otherwise formation and refueling is a nightmare and you dont want it too hard to bank etc.

Although I don't have your hardware, (Virpil user here) I am setting a curve of 15 for pitch, roll, and yaw.  That flight model is more sensitive to inputs.

I'll try that.

I had to up the force quite a lot. As I found lower settings on force was just so extremely sensitive I would more or less roll on my back. Trying to land.

After upping the force to 45 right, 60 left, 60 down and 80 up. I can finally land again.

Is the stick suppose to require that much pressure to roll the jet. I have to push the stick to the point it wants to break free of my desk. I feel like I have to apply to much force to the stick to get the F-16 to do what I want it to do. Not sure if the settings out of the box arecorrect. I see in the simapppro software that there are setting I can change but nothing make all the big a diffrence. The F-16 rolls very slowly.  I’m just not strong enough to roll the aircraft like I was on my Virpil stick. Just curious if that how it’s supposed to be?

The real jet requires more force for full deflection than the winwing base (or the non-pro realsim) can sense.

Body mechanics are important with a force sensing stick, you need to get it off your desk and down by your thigh and you want a forearm support (look at the F16, F22, F35, Rafale - they all have an arm rest). You'll also need a very sturdy mount if you want anything close to correct forces.

If you're going to keep it on your desk then you will need to dial down the forces considerably.

Sorry to reopen a thread from a while ago, however I’ve literally just received this stick, and I’m trying to dial it in.      I’m finding this exact issue @Checkmate, just wondering if you ever found a solution to it. 
 

got it mounted to a Wheelstand pro and fully screwed down, BUT the pressure I’m having to put on it to roll is literally moving the entire Mount in it’s holding.    I’m guessing I’ve done something wrong in my setup. At least I’m hoping I have anyway.

You either need to reinforce your mount or reduce forces.

I had to build a full new mount and reinforce my cockpit frame. I doubt you'll be able to use it with the wheel stand pro without reducing the forces considerably.

Could you be a bit more specific? Send a screenshot if you could?
