Good Roll and Pitch Curve to get on boat


Recommended Posts

Curious what's a good roll and pitch curve for carrier ops

I use deadzone 5

Roll and Pitch of 40

Thanks

Works for me

Soon (tm) we'll get the refactored flight model. That should change/fix a lot.

For now I don’t use curves, but for roll I use X-saturation of 80 to make it more responsive (so that’s the opposite of a curve pretty much). I hope that won’t be needed once we get the update.

Curves are a personal choice and likely dependent on your stick. So there’s no real answer for what’s ideal. Niether having or not having one is “realistic” although generally speaking a curve is needed to desensitize a tabletop spring centered PC stick as this certainly isn’t anything like a real control behaves. A good example for me is that if I loose the curve on the Spitfire it will instantly disintegrate in an air start mission. Its controls are so sensitive and a simple joystick over-controls the plane to an incredible degree without hardly touching it. I would only use a deadzone for a damaged axis, it makes fine inputs really difficult.

Most people need a very slight deadzone on the stick though, because otherwise the BALT/RALT won‘t engage or disengage quickly in the Hornet.

For the most part you shouldn‘t even touch the pitch much in landing configuration. You trim the flight path marker into the E-bracket and then fly it just by modulating the throttle.

Yes I do find the need to have a tiny dead zone like 1% for that. That’s a bug though particular to the Hornet otherwise I wouldn’t use dead zones. I only use those for spiky or defective controllers. They’re also useful to create certain custom effects. The 5% mentioned above seems like too much though and it would interfere with making fine control input like are needed for this and AAR etc
