Deadzone/S-Curve recommendations?

[bmezz]

Spit is amazing as promised---but in VR its a real headache at the moment. The plane is bouncing around a lot for me at all altitudes and speeds and I can't seem to get the right balance with the curves.

 

I am aware that this sim model is very sensitive and not for the faint of heart---but I am hoping there is a way to settle this thing down so I can actually enjoy it. running out of aspirin! :helpsmilie:

With my CH- Fighterstick, CH-Throttle Quadrant & CH-Pedals I use:

 

Pitch / Roll: 20 - No deadzone

Rudder: 15 - No deadzone

 

Throttle, Prop Lever, Elevator trim, Rudder trim are all setup as sliders and no curves or deadzones.

I don't keep any curves or deadzones for the pitch.But for the roll deadzone of 6 and curves 20 and this is with an extended stick by 2 feet.

As a general rule, use the dead zone only when having hardware issues - for instance stick giving false input when in central position. Otherwise, if equipment is fine no dead zone.

As for curves, I generally find them bad for building up the muscle memory in longer time perspective. Only apply them when necessary. 0 at stick, 15 on the rudder as atm in Spit rudder is extremely sensitive - with 0 on rudder just slightly touching the pedals during turn was applying too much ruder for coordinated turns.

I personally am not using any curves or dead zone on pitch and roll, I use a G940 with feedback and prefer the 1:1 but I am having to use a curve on the rudder axis up to 30 as I find the rudder to be way too sensitive, I think this is largely due to the hardware rather than FM modelling, off the shelf rudder pedals are clumsy devices that don't do much for the real finesse required.

I had 20% curve on the pitch axis as I had similar problems as the OP, without VR

I also added a curve to the rudder pedals for the same reasons as bongodriver. I have also reinstalled the spring in my warthog stick and this has made a huge difference to the flying of it, so much so that I will be removing the pitch curve. Lord only knows how my chopper flying will suffer having a sprung joystick again:joystick:

Dammit, bad news.... In the same boat, I'll try reinstalling spring

Sat Y: 100

Curvature: 7

 

Throttle:

Deadzone:0

I personally reduce saturation instead of touching curves, because it maintains linear behaviors on an already-deflected axis.

I really appreciate the feedback everyone! These are probably some strange numbers I ended up with here but they seem to have leveled the plane out (for the time being unless DCS changes the FM)

 

I am using a Logitech Extreme 3DPro

 

Pitch / Roll:

Deadzone:35/15

Sat X: 100

Sat Y: 100

Curvature: 35/35

 

Rudder:

Deadzone:0

Sat X: 100

Sat Y: 100

Curvature: 8

 

Throttle:

Deadzone:0

Sat X: 100

Sat Y: 100

Curvature: 0

Any recommendations for the Saitek x52 Pro?

Same here, the pedals that ship with the G940 suck, mine are glitchy as hell now they are ageing, think I'm on 25 or so curve, and a flat line on the stick axes.

[Wags]

Deadzone of 5 and Curve of 15 for all axis... no problem here.

[HotTom]

If you have a Force Feedback stick (I have a G940 that still mostly works) you shouldn't need or use curves.

19 on x & y T16000m

15 on TWCS rudder rocker

I'm still bad though, but that's me I suspect. ;)
