Azimech,

I tried your settings, and like them a lot. Thanks. I flew them in a Hurricane and an ME-109. Which leads me to a question. I find the Me-109, from 320-370 kph "bucks". The joystick jumps around as I get to 320, and then quiets down after I get above 370. Is that common? If not, any ideas why it does this?

I had to do a repair to my trigger switch, so whilst i had the handle in bits, I ran a couple of wires up from the buttons on the stick base into the grip. Here's a couple of pics of the switch placement:

Awesome. I was thinking about doing the same thing - how do you like the button positions?

I'm really pleased with the positioning. The thumb button is very slightly beyond the rest position of my thumb so that I have to make a conscious movement forward to use it. This works really well in practice. The second switch falls directly under my middle finger.

Well worth doing! :D

Good idea. I'll do the same.

Well what I've been fearing for some time has finally happened today! With only about a month to go for COD to come out and button 2 on my trusted FFB2 is failing. It hardly works at all any more.

I'll have to reassign cannons etc. to button 3 for the time being.

I had a look at the Omron website for replacement switches but can't tell which ones I need. The ones mentioned in older posts e.g. doesn't seem to exist anymore. Does anyone know what type to get nowadays? Is the button 2 switch the same as the trigger?

I think I'll stick with button 3 for now, I rarely use it and if the trigger fails then I'll try to repair, before replacing them I'll try cleaning them like in the old UBI thread first.

I couldn't live without buttons 3 and 4, I use them to fluently zoom in & out.

Have you tried contact spray? Some dirt or fat might have entered the switch.

Thanks, I don't really want to open it until I have to, which is if button 3 or the trigger fail. Unless you mean spray straight into the gap? I only really use the trigger and button 2 the most.

Button 3 used to be for centering TrackIR, button 4 was for toggle gun-sight view and the hat for zoom in/out and for radiator flaps.

Ever since I got TrackIR 5 and the 6DOF enabled I don't need the toggle for gun sight, I just lean in and the same with zoom.

All axes on 100%. Anything below is too sluggish.

Still using Win XP with SW software... this makes it work no matter what.
