TM WartHog joystick realistic axis tune

[POLARIS1]

I've read many approaches concerning tuning the joystick for the A10-C ranging from it's not necessary since it comes ready from the box to giving it a dead zone of 3, saturation Y of 90 and a curvature of 30.

I would appreciate your input on what setting will make it behave realistically.

All curve settings are only compromises to get more sensitivity around the centre by sacrificing it at the outer limits.

 

Responsible for this is not the simulation , its the design of the stick.

The throw is simply not long enough to give you the same precision as a real one.

 

So the best advise I can give you is to get a extension asap to smaller this mismatch , and you will save also your whist from a lot of fatigue in the long run.

Once you have extended the stick throw you will never again have to worry about curve settings on the x/y axis.

Thanks PeterP!

I'm looking into it.

Here's my 2 cents -

Read it Wrecking Crew and it's a nice article and well written.

Saying that...a couple of issues:

1. Your joystick profile is one of the approaches.

2. I think the general consensus in the community regarding the throttle is "thou shalt not alter the throttle curvature".

It should help in refuelling but I think it dumpens the throttle output in an unrealistic way.

Thanks though for your input mate!

I'm thinking of the Zahry extension...just worried about its plug and play status.

Really not interested in messing around with it too much.
