For take off and landings you should notice a difference (easier).

It just shows that stick settings can make an aircraft's performance a lot sharper, but whether this is realistic to the aircraft's actual performance or not to have the inputs cranked up high to give a unrealistic input sensitivity remains a matter of discussion for us, but as far as Eric brown was concerned the IL2 aircraft were way to sensitive for the amount of stick travel and input.

Perhaps SoW could lock the stick settings from the hosts mission when sessions are joined so everyone fly's the same stick inputs

BTW there are/were Olegs settings

Oleg Maddox:
Roll: 1 3 6 12 21 32 44 61 81 100
Pitch: 1 4 8 15 24 33 44 60 77 100
Yaw: 0 10 19 32 43 54 63 74 86 100

Just for the record, if you are having problems with accuracy like I was having, try these settings with your own fine tuning. My stick had always felt too "twitchy" for the finer adjustments needed for good marksmanship.

I actually used the pitch values also for the Yaw (Oleg's yaw values still felt a bit twitchy on my stick).

It really doesn't feel like I have lost maneuverability, just have to throw the stick a touch further for a fast reaction. What I have gained in accuracy more than makes up for what could be a slightly longer reaction time (that extra 1/4" movement needed on the stick to get a fast reaction from the plane).

Just wanted to say thanks for the info in this thread!

Hi,

First of all. Thank you all for this topic.

I'm relatively new to Il2.

Currently I have Il2 1946 with patch 4.11.
And new Saitek Aviator AB8R-03.
And I know that its not the best stick. But 40$ for a gaming tool is the most I can spend.

However I think that I have a problem with controlling planes.
When I watch various training materials on YouTube I see that people can make very precise movements. Basically it seems that aiming is extremely simple as if they were using a mouse.
When I fly on my own, planes are feeling twitchy, especially elevator control.
I go up to face the target. And when I have it where I want, I return the stick to neutral position the plane goes down a few degrees.
I don't see that on other people videos.
I know most of that is skill and experience but joystick and its settings take a part it in too.

So my questions are:
Have anything changed (regarding plane controls) with patch 4.11?
Are settings 'all 100' are OK for novice pilots?
Which plane is the best for combat practice?
I noticed entries about FW-190 and La-5 but what about I-16 and A6M?
