Interesting. I have the trims controls assigned to two analogue lever axis on my CH Quadrant because of their smoothness, but I don't use them for aiming. Willhave to experiment with that.
However, I was initially unhappy with my Warthog stick because I found it too stiff and too sensitive for fine aiming. From a Youtube how-to clip I removed the heavy mainspring completely and repositioned the four small secondary springs which looked after the stiffness. Playing with the X- and Y- response S- curves handled the sensitivity problem, yet still allowed full throw of the controls when needed.
