brettt777 Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 So, I recently upgraded from a Logitech X56 to a Winwing Orion 2 system. I have the FA-18 throttle handles but opted for the F-16EX stick grip cuz I need the extra hats for other aircraft/sims. For the first week or so, everything was fine. All aircraft seemed to respond well to the Winwing system and I am very happy with it for the most part. But the other day I got into the Hornet and had one heck of a time controlling the thing airborne. I noticed that the movement of the control stick was very jerky and not smooth and precise as it usually is. You can see it in the track file. I checked all the control settings and in the axis page, you can see that the input from the stick is very precise and smooth. But in the aircraft it isn't. I verified there are no duplicate control settings. Then, while airborne, I put the sim into Active Pause. Suddenly the stick movement was nice and smooth as it should be. Active Pause off and back to a jerky stick. You can see all this in the track file. Here's a couple other weird things about it. When the stick is very jerky like that, all other controls, rudder, throttle, etc. are fine. It's only pitch and roll. As I stated before, in Active Pause, the stick is fine. Also, I have flown half a dozen other aircraft using the same stick and they don't have this problem. The Winwing system works great in all other aircraft and in all other sims. Only the Hornet has a problem. And to make it even more weird, I connected my old Logitech G940 FFB stick in place of the Winwing system. No problem at all. Nice and smooth at all times. So, I'm kind of at a loss. Why would the Winwing suddenly not like the Hornet and only the Hornet?

brettt777 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Posted June 3, 2023 If anyone is interested, I figured out what was causing the jerky stick. I firstly figured out that I was having a similar issue in the Tomcat and in the Viper. This problem seemed to appear right around the time I installed the stick shaker module on my F-16EX stick. The SimAppPro software is used to upload and download various vibration profiles. Once I started using that, I started having this issue. So on a whim, I closed the SimAppPro software and started DCS. Presto! No jerky stick. I deleted and reinstalled the software but I still had the issue but not all the time. I can run it without the software as all I use it for is the vibration profiles. But obviously I don't get any vibration if I do that.
