I removed the trim repeat originally, and found that a lot of times I needed faster control. Now I have two sets of buttons assigned to trim. One has the normal repeat of 32, the other has no repeat. Now I can got both coarse and fine adjustment as needed.I have no problems flying the RV-6, but the Maule is still too twitchy for me, as noted in my post above. I'll probably end up writing a custom CH Control Manager script to do my own response curve.Hook

Same..I find the Maule much more susceptible to adverse wind conditons..Perhaps it's the physics not quite right, perhaps it's that way in RL (perhaps it's me!)jake

The one main irritation i have with the controller settings is that Flight at first totally ignores my settings in the logitech profiler , cant use my steeringwheel throttle and brake pedals at all (for rudder) , everytime i need to alttab out of flight then touch the profiler and then get back in the game to use them as rudder.(this includes for sensitivity/centerforce settings for my joystick) Maybe probably this has something to do with windows-live taking focus during the Flight startup.

I worked around the joystick trim either being "responsive but too-fast repeating" or "fine control but non-repeating" by setting my joystick software to map my trim buttons to the keyboard keys used for trim adjustment. Now, I get one degree at a click but it still repeats if I want to hold it down a couple of seconds for rapid adjustments.
Hey, now that sounds like a pretty good idea. My Cougar joystick and throttle are very programmable, by creating first a macro file, which basically is a file for controller commands and their corresponding key presses - then the actual joystick file that uses that same macro file, to assign each macro to a button /hat on both the stick and the throttle. It also has a toggle switch, that provides a 3 way mode switcher, so in reality I can assign like three different commands to each button, and use the mode toggle where required.I have not taken the time to create a joystick/macro file for Flight due to it's simplicity, I just mapped the commands directly in the sim to my joystick buttons.Cetainly would be easy enough, no more commands than there are, to go ahead and create a file for Flight and due the same as you did above.Glad I saw that, and thanks.

Welcome! I do have most of my stick/throttle assignments made in Flight, but have made a few in my G940's Profiler due to either Flight not being aware that those buttons exist (such as the POV Hat and DPAD on the throttle) or for a few such as the elevator trim where the keyboard keys actually function better. Assigning joystick buttons to the trim keyboard key commands makes them work perfectly, as I can click to make fine adjustments or hold for rapid coarse adjustments on the same pair of buttons.
as I can click to make fine adjustments or hold for rapid coarse adjustments on the same pair of buttons.
Indeed that part of it I really like, a single button press for a fine adjustment, and a hold for continuing adjustments. I undoubtedly will take a few minutes out of my day to work on a joystick file for my Cougar.Thanks again for the tip,

Maybe probably this has something to do with windows-live taking focus during the Flight startup.

 

Dunno if it should be in this topic but , i`ve found a solution to my problem by changing the properties of the shortcut to Flight.exe to "Run: Minimized"

So my Flight profile in my logitech profiler loads properly the first time round.
