TDC Slew Axis (horizontal especially)

[stoop]

I am looking for some recommendations for TDC slew curvature settings using axis settings on my WinWing throttle.

I hadn't flown the Harrier for a bit and so can't say what if anything changed in between, but when I got back into it I found that when I was using my TDC slew axis control on my throttle, especially the horizontal axis was flying really fast to the right or left even if I was only moving the axis button just a little bit.

Obviously when trying to fine hone the axis to get the crosshair over a vehicle I want to move the axis button a little and for that to translate to a little movement of the crosshair.

I have the Axis Tune set to a curvature of 60 but even then the crosshair darts a little to quickly so that it takes me several attempts of going from left to right to get the crosshair on target.  Vertical slew doesn't seem to be as quick to respond - might just be me!

Can anyone suggest a setting that works for them with curvature and/or X & Y that gives fine control at small movements but still allows large movements at the edges on the axis button when you need to make big changes to where the TPOD is pointing?

I haven't notice any difference in sensitivity between axis but you don't say which throttle grip you are using (I'm using the F-16 and it's Radar cursor).

Same.

This is my WIP/initial setting - the large deadzone is to help dexterity/axis control (rather than mask pot spikes/jitter) and like you I'm interested to see what curves other Winwing owners are using.

Not sure what's going on with AV-8B TPOD ATM as the MFD was very dark and I needed to use the popout export to see anything

The post below suggests 15% deadzones with 20% y saturations, so perhaps try reducing y saturation with a curve tuned for your prefered max slew rate.
