Curves?

[Vettefan]

Hey, the obligatory question on the curves: Are there already good ideas on curves for the TM Warthog?
 

currently, every input kind of „shakes the plane around“ on my end. Normal behavior for everyone or a settings topic?

Here's what I'm using:

Pitch - curve 22, y saturation 80, deadzone 3

Roll - curve 22, y saturation 80, deadzone 3

Rudder - curve 30, y saturation 80, deadzone 3

This is working good for my setup, (rig specs in my sig).  Using a WH stick with a VPC WarBRD base and no stick extension.

YMMV.

I found saturation to be much more important than curves.

These work out really well. I'm using a WinWing Orion 2 set up.

I use 3,100,100,15.

Good luck!

 

Edit: I have a Warthog Stick and throttle + MFG Crosswind pedals.

Thanks, guys! I am now using dead zones of 3 and pitch / roll of 10. starting from there 

[felixx75]

Pitch: Curve 5, Sat 100/100, Deadzone 1

Roll:   Curve 5, Sat 100/100, Deadzone 1

Yaw:  Curve 15, Sat 100/100, Deadzone 1

But that doesn't really help you, because what works for you depends 100% on your own hardware.

Worked well for me also. I still have a lot to learn in this bird,

Why do You all need deadzones? It only makes the steering less sharp. 

I haven’t deadzones in any aircraft profile I use.

No offend, I really want to know why You prefer them.

As the springs in the stick start to wear out it can drift off center introducing unwanted control input. 

 

No one prefers using deadzones but it is a way to correct for worn out joysticks without having to buy a new one or change the springs out.

With my new contact-less potentiometers I don't need dead zones either, except on my rudder pedals as sometimes I rest my feet pressing the pedals slightly.

However, when I still had my older standard potentiometers on my HOTAS I used to have a small deadzone to prevent the flight stick from vibrating slightly when at rest.

Thank You for Your answers!
