okay

How have you set up your elevator trim in joycontrol? all 100s ? any deadzone or filtering ?

Hi!

Isn't there somewhere a guide for how to set up the X52 so most planes fly straight with that stick? I've noticed that all (well, at least the ones I've tested, about 20 or so) planes but most the russian and the japanese do not fly straight. I.e. the aileron always needs to be trimmed - quite a lot - since the planes just dip their right wing... That sounds pretty weird to me, but that's my experience. And many planes just react very slightly upon trimming, if at all...

As I use my Saitek Av8r stick instead with e.g. Gladiator or Corsair, the planes go straight ahead without a fuzz...

Question: If you use the rudder on the twiststick how do you have it set up?

I have it at all 100s now but when i add rudder input the plane swings hard to that side, it's very difficult to aim precisely with it and i end up not using rudder at all when shooting.

If your question was directed to me (?), the answer is that I do not use the stick for the rudders. I use pedals.

Regarding my previous post, I did not express myself quite clear: What I meant was that all the Russian and Japanese planes fly straight, regarding aileron, but not most of the other ones (e.g. Corsair and Gladiator).

The question was for anyone who uses the X52

Yes i have noticed that too, but i don't think it's the stick. I had the same thing happen before with another stick.

OK, then it maybe is something for the IL-2 devs to answer then...? Although, as I wrote previously, my other Saitek Av8er stick does not behave like this...

When I was using the twist for rudder I had a gentle curve on the input and also added some filtering to prevent the wobble when the twist snapped back to center. Worked a treat.

Okay i just tested this in a 190. I flew straight and trimmed for level flight, the ball was centered and yet the right wing drops slowly. Have to hold the stick slightly to the left to keep flying straight. This is really weird, i was perfectly trimmed and it still dropped!

I put linear pattern 50-100 and 10 filtering. Made it easier to keep the ball centered during flight!
