Interesting thread.

In a related aspect, I've been flying RED online Hurricane Rotols and Spitfire 1a's. They handle very well for the majority of my flying except for one area: fine aiming. It seemed like I was "chasing the reticle" when attempting to place the gun sight pipper on a specific location of the target aircraft. With a suggestion from fellow pilot Catseye, I adjusted the joystick curve (X and Y axis) in my Warthog's TARGET software to change the linear sensitivity to an S-curve. I still get full deflection at the extreme travel of the joystick, but towards the center of both axis I can now make much finer adjustments -- it makes me feel less "ham-fisted". By the same token, for my CH Pedals I simply turned the sensitivity of the pedals from default "1" (= full sensitivity) down to "0" (= less sensitivity) in the ingame menu Options/Controls/Axis.


A side benefit is that ordinary maneuvring feels noticeably smoother overall, plus I'm now able to pour what feels to be a higher % of rounds on target now.

My apologies if this falls outside this thread topic or has been discussed at length in an earlier thread.
