derbarbarian Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Hey guys, I apologize in advance as this may be a bit of a dumb question, I've had DCS F-18 for well over a year and a half and I still don't know how to use 70% of the systems in the jet which has frustrated me for a while now, since I didn't find the in-game training all that useful I've started binge watching Youtube training videos as they seem to be WAY more helpful and thorough, I'm able to create a scenario in the game then load up the training video for whatever system i'm trying to learn and I can go by it bit by bit as I've found this to be really helpful and I've learned alot in the past few days. Anyways to the question, I'm working on the Maverick E & F right now, I'm using the TDC but I find it to be considerably too sensitive so I'm having a hard time getting it right on the target and locking it in, I've gone into the axis tune panel and I see the Deadzone, Saturation, etc. but it doesn't appear that any of them are affecting the sensitivity, so I'm wondering how I can go about doing that? I've also looked at the user curve panel but I'm not sure what does what exactly and I don't really want to screw that up. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi I read you have been in the axis config and that there was no difference; you should play with curvature (up to about +20/30), and a touch of deadzone (1 or 2). I did thiat way I managed to have decently. Saludos. Saca111 1
rob10 Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Do you have the Deltasim TDC mod? If you don't, that's your solution. Worth every penny. He also has a tweaked firmware (that will work with the stock TDC too) that may help as well. Beyond that, the TMWH TDC just sucks. They have apparently changed the design in recent builds so that it's better, but if it's very old, you got the crappy one.

I bought the F-18 stick for the Hotas, I tried re-mapping it to the trim button on the stick but I found that doesn't really work any better unfortunately. If that's a good mod I'll definitely get it as I really want to be able to use all of the systems effectively. Aside from this mod, are there any other good mods you would suggest? I just wanted to doublecheck, this is the mod you're talking about, https://deltasimelectronics.com/products/thumbstick-slew-sensor-adapter Edited April 5, 2023 by derbarbarian
