trouble calibrating aviator stick

[Flying Bruce]

Hi all. Im new to flying games so having trouble sorting out the controlls. brought the Av8tor from saitek as thought it would make things better but just cant set it corectly. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Thanks

what platform do you have?

anyways... untill the title update... there is not much to calibrate .. just your aileron and elevator sensitivity

mapable controls will come with the title update... and a deadzone calibration also (if you have a PS3)

if its the 360 make sure th switch on the right side of the base is set to mode-1.

I had that problem ..mode 2 controls where a mess for me.......

if that doesn't help its all I got because that was the only problem I had with it

Got a 360. All that happens is spiral to the left then hit the ground. Ive tried everything. thanks for reply.

There are 2 versions of the av8r ps3/pc and 360/pc, check the bottom
should say "aviator stick for" molded into the plastic alnong with operating
voltage, fcc, etc.
Hope you didn't end up with a ps3 version.

Also...if you do have the correct 360 version.. check the small button/switch on the right (on the side of the joystick)... If you pull the trigger...and it doesnt fire.. then that button is set wrong.. in this case..put it in the other mode

Just FYI, and this is horrible, but.. if you turn the sensitivity down much at all with the the Aviator it negatively affects the maximum amount you can engage your elevators. Though I'd like to turn it down a little more than the ~80% level I have it at now I can't afford to get out-turned.. even at the benefit of looser aiming sensitivity.

I'm sure this will be remedied with the available joystick calibration in the patch.

Ive checked & its a 360 stick, set to the M1 mode. Really annoying me now. Even tried calibrating through my pc but cant even get that working correctly. Might have dodgy stick? just my luck!

Just to let you know ive sent the thing back. Wasted 2days trying to sort it. Thanks for all your replies. Will be sticking around though.
