Joystick Sensitivity in general - compared to ka-50 "Realism"

[RazorbackNL]

I made a cyclic out of a car drive shaft. The U-joint is a perfect gimbal for a cyclic. I have added 2 Hall senors out of my modded HOTAS Cougar and wired it all to the original Cougar base.

Because I use Hall sensors I can limit the mechanical movement of the cyclic and still have the full motion range of the sensors. Works like a charm. The Black Shark is very controlable this way, even without the use of the Auto Stability functions.

I use Copy Cat Control cyclic and collective. These are realistic sizes. The Black Hawk is still very twitchy with my set-up. It is hard to imagine that a combat pilot banging around in their seat could hold steady. I have my set-up tweaked to flatten the response curve around the center.

Good read about joystick responses by the highly respected An.Petrovich.
