I cannot get sensitivities to a reasonable level! The elevator sensitivity is such that if I am to nose up i'll get about 15 degrees worth, the same if i nose down. Try doing that on an ILS approach in the baron, makes for an ugly one. I've really been trying my hardest to tweak the sensitivities in FS, and when that wasnt working I got the CH program as I have a CH Flight Yoke. I turned the sensitivities down in that, but to no avail. Any more ideas? I looked in the FS9.cfg file to put in "0" for stick sensitivity but it wasnt in there. HELP!Patrick

This thread will probably be moved to the hardware forum, but I'd like to second that; I'd really like to know how to set up my CH flight yoke for maximum realism as it's pretty sensitive and I usually have to trim way down to get an acceptable feel.Jeff

Im shooting in the dark here but:Did your joystick come with a CD containing a setup program that installed to your computer? I know Logitech sticks do this if Im not mistaken, it runs in the system tray.Would *that* have a sensitivity-setting?

check out some posts in the hardware and tips and tricks forum. Set sensitivities full and null zone to nothing. And add the line (don't remember the exact wording and not at home) to your fs9.cfg filestick_sensitivity_mode=0

I have reset most all my pitch effectivness. Look for this heading in planes cfg. file[flight_tuning]cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0induced_drag_scalar = 1.0elevator_effectiveness = 1.0-- change to a smaller #(0.8) to make less sensetiveaileron_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_effectiveness = 1.0pitch_stability = 1.0 ---- to a higher # will slow movementroll_stability = 1.0yaw_stability = 1.0elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0aileron_trim_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_trim_effectiveness = 1.0The other in this section are effected the same way.Each cfg. for each A/C will have to be changed.Take it slow on changes and you can taylor it to suit you.Farmer

Personally Ive found setting the sensitivities to me is easier by setting the view to spot... Then, I change them, go look at the spot view, and I watch the movement of the controls. Aiming for full movement of the surfaces, with full movement of joystick. Experiment first by setting the NULL, so there is no -spontaneous- movement of the surface, without movement of the controls. Then, setting the sensitivity, so the control begins to move with positive movement of the control. By making a change, and -seeing- what effect it has on the surfaces, it is less confusing to me. Changing the Setting of the sensitivity until full throw of the control up or down and left to right, makes full movement of the surface controlled. Setting the throttle, so that there is NO increase, with slight movement of the throttle, and it takes a definite movement to increase fuel flow. So the Null is wide enough, that there is no -creeping- of the aircraft even without the brakes on. Remember on some aircraft there are two throttles. Ive found some friends forget the -idle- throttle. The mains are off, but the idle is on too high, so the aircraft wont stop without the parking brake on. Buy pulling the idle down until it is almost OFF, then making the null movement wide enough, the aircraft will stand still even without the parking brake on. Then, setting it sensitive enough, so that with positive movement of the throttle, you can hear the engines speed up smoothly.

I prefer set the sensitivities for the stick (ch yoke here...) like:Ailerons: all to the left, nulzone at 25%Elevators: all to the left., nulzone at 0%Throttle: all to the right, nulzone at about 25%Johan[A HREF=http://jdserver.no-ip.com]Personal Server[/A]A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION, AND A LITTLE MORE ACTION PLEASE!
