January 23, 20215 yr The latest in 'tips' forum is to try removing all dead zones from controller sensitivities to cure some of the worst autopilot problems.

January 23, 20215 yr So the autopilot uses your sensitivity settings ? How odd. If you have more than one controller which one does it take its settings from ? Edited January 23, 20215 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick
January 23, 20215 yr Interesting, I have a TH Warthog Hotas and I have never use any deadzone on any axis, and I have never had any autopilot problem. System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I
January 24, 20215 yr I have used deadzones on all my controller and have not had an autopilot problem. CPU: Core i5-6600K 4 core (3.5GHz) - overclock to 4.3 | RAM: (1066 MHz) 16GB MOBO: ASUS Z170 Pro | GeForce GTX 1070 8GB | MONITOR: 2560 X 1440 2K
January 24, 20215 yr I have used dead zones sometimes and didn't get problems with autopilot. Althought someimes I didn't use dead zones and did get problems. And vice versa. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
January 24, 20215 yr Folks need to stop listeining to these so-called "experts" and their voodoo fixes.

January 24, 20215 yr My story is I am lucky with my controller (no sloppyness). I have dead zone set to only 1% on everything, and response curves at 50%. I have never had any problems with autopilot either. The thing some people have mentioned about having to set a 10% dead zone in the Airbus seems strange, and wouldn't feel good in normal / manual flight. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

January 24, 20215 yr This doesn't make any sense - having constant small control inputs from a slightly deflected controller is likely to cause problems with the AP (oddness with the PID integral term) then anything else. Appropriate deadzones (slightly more than any noise or centering offset) are a good thing. 10% for no good reason also seem bad.

January 27, 20215 yr I did the dead zone adjustments as well as other suggestions. I still have a lot of autopilot problems.

January 27, 20215 yr Administrators OK, here's the scoop on Tips and Tricks. They are use or do at your own risk. If it helps someone to fix their problem....all the better! If it does not work to fix your problem...move on! There is NO discussion allowed in that forum.
