January 7, 20224 yr Feel free to move on if you have been on this forum for longer than a few weeks. This is from one noob to another. If you own this setup, you know by now that you have to manually bind everything on the yoke and you can't see the image of the yoke except greyed out with a question mark. The pedals are auto recognized and so is the TQ. I noticed out of the box, the plane would randomly veer off here or there, up or down, left or right. The first thing I did was to set the time at 8am, 40 degrees, zero winds, no gusts, clear skies, throttle at 2400 RPM, mixture rich, no flaps, trim set to 4%. Next, I started isolating settings under sensitivity for the yoke and rudder pedals. For the yoke, Ailerons (Joystick L-Axis-X): 1. The yoke is pretty much spot on as it pertains to sensitivity settings (I just set them to -2 after playing around with them). It's certainly not perfect but this is also not the Logitech pro yoke which has a lot more issues. I am sure it's not a honeycomb but I had a budget. Another way to look at this (if you're someone who spends thousands of dollas on your setup) is that this is the best you gonna get on this yoke! No amount of fiddling is gonna matter. 2. Deadzone, oh yes, I set it to 6%, by far this made a huge difference and the wandering started to stabalize 3. Neutral, I had high hopes for this setting and there are times it makes a difference (in the beginning, soon after settings changed and saved) but it doesn't change the eventual outcome. I left it at -5%. 4. Extremity deadzone, I didn't have issues with the yoke to warrant any changes here 5. Reactivity, no clue what it does, nor did it make a difference For the Yoke, elevator (Joystick L-Axis-Y): 1. Set the sensitivity settings to -6% 2. Deadzone, 9% 3. Default on the rest For the rudder pedals (Joystick R-Axis Z): 1. Sensitivity at -20% 2. DeadZone at 8% (I have heavy feet?) 3. Default for all other settings and axis My end result: - My elevation is +/- 50 feet - I have a constant bank to the right (roughly 1 degree change every 10 seconds). No matter what I played with, I couldn't fix this. Could be the yoke, rudder setting (doubt it, it's rolling not yawing), the neutral setting above (just when I thought I had the sucker dialed in, it would start rolling to the right again after 5 min or so) - My speed stays steady and hovers around 108/109 knots If you find something different, please share your results.
