Hi: I have the alpha honeycomb flight yoke installed and have calibrated it to windows using the calibrate tool. When i try to bank the aircraft by turning the ailerons it starts moving slowly after a little bit more of the yoke it jumps and starts to put me in a roll. Once I try to get it stable the wings keep rocking back and forth and I can’t get the artificial horizon to stay in once place. I have tried many sensitivity settings and have no luck. Does anyone have and solutions to stabilize the aileron bank? The pitch axis and other switches all work as required. This happens regardless of the aircraft I am flying. The only way to make a stable bank is to use the autopilot heading. I am using steam. Thanks Al Skorich

Have you checked the Sensitivity Tab in MSFS, you can modify the curves

Try looking here too. I made a post about calibration issues I had. Might not be the same as yours but I also included a link to the internal calibration option for the honeycomb yolk.
If you look in the Controls section in MSFS and click on the sensitivity option do you see the dot in the Center of the Joystick Axis X steady or jumping around?
I am an old guy and am new to gaming in general and bought a PC just as a way to practice procedures. Bought the Alpha Yoke and throttle and Logitech rudder and radio. I was able to get everything but the yoke to work. I have tried everything. Watched several hours of you tube and read several forums and have had no luck. The only issue I seem to be having is aileron control. All the other buttons and switches work just fine. When I pull back it turns one way. When I push on the stick it turns the other. Even in windows calibration it does not seem to make the proper movements. Faulty equipment possibly?
Have you tried calibrating it in the windows joystick app?
Press the Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialog box and type joy.cpl
This will bring up the Game controllers dialog …
Click on the Alpha flight controls and then the properties button you should see this…
Click on the settings tab at the top and then select Calibrate.
Follow the instructions for calibrating the flight yolk.
N.B. you might have to click on the next button on screen instead of a button on the yolk when it asks between each step of the calibration.
See if that helps. If not let me know I might have some other things you can try.
EDIT. Sorry just realised you said in Windows calibration it doesn’t move correctly, are you saying when you push the yolk forwards, it moves sideways in the calibration?
I tried to upload a video but I am a new user. Just moves like a sideways Z only straight lines.
Have you tried the Honeycomb internal calibration.
Just follow this guide.

I know this topic is about 15 months old, but how did you get this yoke issue resolved? I’m having this exact issue since yesterday. Seems the Elevator and Aileron axises move together. If I push the yoke in or out, the ailerons turn too. If I turn the yoke for ailerons, the elevator moves in and out too. I’ve calibrated the Alpha itself, and calibrated in Windows and in msfs to no avail. I reset and created new profile from default, but the default does this too. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
I know your post is now seven months old, but I’m wondering if somehow you got the problem solved?
