Joystick sensitivity for real feel

Post by vonduck » Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:25 pm

Gidday chaps,

Almost ready to fly inline with the group..just needing to setup my joystick for the most real feel...

For you super experienced pilots here, what is the best sensitivity settings i should be using? At present i seem to "float" and 'bob' when lining up a target in the Spit...in fact all planes... i noticed watching YouTube vids that the pilots don't do that...

Perhaps and i realize i need to practice but perhaps my settings need a tweak as well..

Any help would be appreciated

Cheer and tally ho!

Doug

Well it depends on whether you're going for 'realistic' or useful. The first one is nearly impossible considering how in real aircraft sensitivity
of the stick veries depending on speed. As for lining up on targets and formation flying, then as Wiggy says, the lower the better. It takes more handwork and can even be fatiguing if you have a stiff stick (wink) like Warthog or so, but it makes for more precision and swole biceps.

I like the less sensible possible and use trim a lot. Good for aiming. Hard maneuvers just drain energy, and speed is life :)
