jackd Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) Hi Helpers. been away from DCS for a while, but wanted to explore the new Marianas map among things. Just installed the latest 2.9.17.11733 update. I found with my AVA base the axis behavior now quite stuttery, while it worked fine before the update. It also still works fine with IL2 Great Battles BTW. Also with DCS it seems the AVA's axis does not reach the full range (both X and Y) any more. ------ My warthog throttle works fine, nu stutters, full axis rage, but maybe it's a TM AVA or windows issue? Ran a full repair, (no mods etc) and even reinstalled the Thrustmaster's latest 1,14 drivers and firmware. NADA, any one also experienced this? PS is there a way to check windows further on this? ADDED: FIXED: there's a firmware update for the AVA base needed for the latest windows versions, DCS is fine now. Edited June 21 by jackd
_Hoss Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Firmware updates are the only reason I run TARGET or SimAppPro. I use RSMapper for programming now. Don't forget to recalibrate your stick base. Push the button, wait for the slow flash, center the stick, push button again for the quicker flash. Move the stick in full pitch, and roll range of motion. Return to center. Push button, get the steady green light...... I've got a 200cm curved extension. I went with the small collar, hard springs and jet cams. 1 Sempre Fortis
jackd Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 (edited) Hi Hoss, thanks. AVA base, calibrate? You mean with the TARGET software, or the USB Game controller panel? I cannot find a calibrate button. I did mess around with the various hardware springs and gimball addon disks. PS installed RSmapper, but it's one of those tools i cannot really understand how to use it. My general frustration with DCS is with every plane you need to spend a lot of time with keymapping, thank god for chuck's extensive guides. And my Elgato Streaamdeck XL panel. for creating macro-ed buttons (Tip: never use the win keys with latter, still crashes windows explorer, they cant get it right, spent a lot of time with their support) =============== But f.i i now spend a lot of time with the p51 to get it right for me, but these time consuming procedures puts me off buying new DCS planes. Got it so far done for Mosquito, FW a8 and FW a9, and a few more in DCS control panel options only. Edited June 22 by jackd
_Hoss Posted June 22 Posted June 22 This video shows you how to do it. Anytime you update the firmware, change cams, springs, or collars, do the calibration on it. Or if it just starts acting wonky https://youtu.be/pjoY0yLZXn0?si=n9WYtwJigkHm55YZ 1 Sempre Fortis
