Gladiator NXG - taming the twist stick rudder

[Harry.R]

Excellent stick but I'm getting 100% rudder for a little twist of the stick.. is there a way to turn this down as even simple tasks like taxiing see me swinging across the taxiway like a druken bum.

Couple of things.

Is the twist axis calibrated correctly?

If it is do you have a curve set in DCS? If so remove the curve and try, if no curve set it at 20 for the rudder axis and adjust to your liking.

I re-did the calibration within the VKB software and then inverted the axis to get left/left, right/right. Boy is this thing twitchy in pitch and roll compared to my old stick (X-55 saitek). I used to enjoy close formation, now I can't even get close without porpoising about. Never had an experience like this with a stick, perhaps I need to change the springs or change the stick as i'm just not gelling with it at the moment.

Hi,

I use twist on EVO and classic NXT, as far as I remember, I just reduced the deadzone, it was big.
So when testing the deflection, does it jump straight to 0 or 65535?

Thanks mate, I redid the installation/calibration and it's now a lot more sensible but needs to be inverted for some reson in the in game menu. Just pitch that seems a bit..overly sensititve now.
