Nonlinear control, best idea ever!


Recommended Posts

Just want to thank you, BST, for making the nonlinear option for non FFB sticks.

It's so much easier to control and at the same time retain energy in the F-5 now.

I hope you will do the same for the F-86.

 

Cheers.

Indeed... Much easier.

Thank you for pointing that out! :)

Me to, how is it different?

 

I use 15 curve for pitch and roll and 20 for rudder.

It changes your virtual stick range in relation to trim. With it enabled you will always be able to reach virtual extremes regardles of trim.

For instance: If you trim for takeoff with a linear, you only have half or less of range on your real joystick before you reach the stop of your virtual stick.

With nonlinear your extremes will always equal the extremes in the sim.

You can try to toggle it on and off, go in the sim, press ctrl+enter, trim, wove the stick and watch what happens with and without it.

For some reason it seems to make flying and trimming a lot easier.

Cool! I thought it meant the same as the axis % curves. Those are by nature nonlinear but not in direct relation to trim. The deadzones do in some way at extremes but all in all this sounds very nice. Here's hoping for the Sabre, although I am pretty used to stumbling around near stall now. It may help at higher speed and G too.

Will this non linear function make it into other DCS planes or is it to fix some abnormalities in the F5 that a desk stick cant relate to well?
