jittery axis

[viper3two]

Hi

I have a saitek x-52 and in FC2, I notice when taxiing that the turning jitters, like the stick is over sensitive on that axis. Is there a way to adjust the axis? I tried deadzone but that just gives me more center play. Thanks

Yeah- Increase the curve value. Move the slider to the right in increments until you find something you like. Keep in mind that different planes have different behavior in nosewheel steering. The curve you set for one plane is not neccessarily universal.

 

Ex: The SU-33 has a zero turn radius, thus the rudder is very sensitive when compared to say-the SU25T.

 

In case you don't know- under "options"

 

controls tab

 

select aircraft (must ALL be done individually)

 

Under ALL tab select "axis commands"

 

click on the specific axis under the controller ex: "rudder axis" under "control manager device" See the column w/ the device at the top?

 

Select axis tune(bottom right)

 

Adjust curve. Mines at +30 for this aircraft.

Thanks sir! That did the trick, much appreciated !

YeahMon.

But it would be nice to have some kind of filtering slider on each AXIS to combat noise in pots (like in IL-2). Try binding zoom to an rotary potentiometer and you understand what I mean, it jitters in a very annoying way (same thing in DCS:BS).

 

Same happens if you bind the pitch trim but since I flattened the curve on that one it's not a major problem there but it still jitters.

Yeah - I found the Su-33 steering extremely sensitive - not only that, but the nosewheel doesn't actually turn. From external view it looks terrible - like a 10 year old sim.

 

I'll look for that adjustment for the feel, though.

I could've sworn the nosewheel turned... but I could be wrong. I'm basically 100% online pilot. (no externals)

Same problem, same resolution .... set axis for all aircraft individually

yep it's the same old problem, i have same issue on rotaries, i did find that it was not so bad once i unplugged the lead connecting the throttle and stick when i was using my MS ffb2 stick in BS, but i have a real bad issue with the thumb rotary moving in a gradual decent at times that it is impossible to use it on trim or any other setting.

 

Next stick and throttle will be of better make for me i think.

if it's still jitters make sure no other axis are on it example other joystick wheel or pedals make sure all is clean..

Definitely. I had a bad time with the zoom view axis when I used an X45- axis unusable. Had to program bands w/ a large center deadzone to control that view.. Major migraine..
