November 12, 201015 yr I have a CH Flight Sim yoke that works fine except for one problem. That is, even before starting the engine on any plane, the yoke will kind of vibrate or quiver while at rest. It does it mostly in ailerlon control. Going outside and looking at the ailerons they too are doing the same thing. Its not a constant thing but just kind of comes and goes. The movement isn't severe and to be truthful its more of an irritant than a problem because I just hate seeing the yoke do that. All flight control is good with the yoke although it does the same thing while in flight.Anyone experience this and is there a fix for it? Like I said, its not a big deal - just bugs me. Thanks for any help. Oh yeah, I'm using FSX on Win 7 64.Jim
November 12, 201015 yr Moderator Are you saying the the PHYSICAL yoke quivers or the image of the yoke on the screen? I'm assuming the image and the ailerons.I used to get that quite a bit - quick short term fix - rapidly move the youke from side to side several times.Long term fix - disassemble the yoke and spray some contact cleaner on the pots. DO NOT USE WD40!! Look for contact cleaner or if you can get it - carbon tetrachloride.Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
November 13, 201015 yr The quivering means your aileron yoke potentiometer is noisy due to dirt and/or wear. If you use FSUIPC 4, try enabling filtering on the aileron axis.Cheers, jahman.
