Flight Stick Axis Sensitivity?

[David198502]

hey andyjwest!thx for the tips.
but my biggest problem is that i dont know the meaning of the ten bars for each of the axis. the first is for the deadzone i assume, but i dont know what the other 9 are for.
if i set for the pitchaxis the last bar on 100 i have big problems not to stall. if i have set them all on 50 or 60, i can turn well, but not thight enough, and everyone is outturning me online.

Hi David, not ready to go on line yet but I have set my elevator axis down on the last range to around 75 while I get to grips with IL 1946. Everything I have read suggests that the last set of axis data should always be left at 100 but I can't get on with that setting on the 'elevator axis' at the moment. Ailerons I find can be left more or less at 100 and this has made the flight on the twitchier a/c more stable and predictable. When I have sussed the flight physics I will join on line. I can't keep up with other identical a/c at the moment and have posted a question in hope someone can explain why.........

I think full real settings would be only 100 percent sensitivity since adjust joystick responses is a way to solve the vices of some airplane. May settings could allow only a deadband for old joys, however new joys is much more precise and not need such deaband or filtering stuffs.

I always fly 100% as a way to obtain higher immersion. To me adjust joy config is some kind of cheat, cause you are changing your plane natural responses to obtain a easy way to flight.

SoW could have a HARDCORE level that does not allow pilot adjust joy and had to fly with 100% sensitivity for each aircraft, suffering from its vices and advantages.

You know of course if you inspect any aircraft control lines or rods (pre fly-by-wire) you'll find mechanical adjustments that can be made.
Cheat - Highly unlikely when then everyone had their own personal plane, and could ask the ground crew adjust it as necessary - also givng a pilot some mechanical advantage over nature's forces.

I'm not sure whether this was generally allowed but it was, and still is possible.

Remember Joystick Profiles are saved with the currently loaded pilot career. If you start several different pilot careers "P51 pilot" "Gladiator Pilot" etc you can have a different Joystick Profile for each pilot career you save.

It is not quite the same as a different profile for each aircraft but it does work.
