Hey folks. I still feel like I have issues with my T16000 in terms of my sensitivity settings seeming overly sensitive.
I just wanted to know what settings you guys are using in your sim with your sticks that I might be able to try.
Appreciate your help!
A setting of -50% on all axes is a good starting point. See how that works out for you. Increase or decrease as you see fit from there.
The best settings are the ones that work best for you. I have all of mine set to zero except the rudder, which is -50 each way. I have a gentle touch on the controls, so this works for me. The rudder is due to the fact that I dialed up the steering angle on most of my planes.
I use and generally recommend 0% on all axis. Agree that -50 will dampen the initial stick movement but makes it near impossible to have fine control when in landing or take-off phase when more control surface movement is required. In a real aircraft, during normal flight, light control pressure is all that is required to make the aircraft respond. This feeling is achieved at 0%. Makes trimming out control pressure so much easier.
yep, I agree, stay as close to 0% as you’re comfortable with, and adapt to giving smaller inputs on the controls.
The T16000M has hall effect sensors, and is very accurate with tiny inputs (have this stick too myself). I wouldn’t go over -20%. Closer to 0% the better.
It really comes down to personal preference and experience. It’s easy to give too much or too little input when you’re not used to a certain piece of hardware and how it interacts with the sim.
I found that when I first got my X56 back in September, it was way too sensitive. I initially set it to -50% as per some recommendations from this forum, which I found much easier to handle. And I enjoyed using it a lot more that way.
Over time, I got accustomed to how the aircraft handled and how much input was required to get certain results. And I started noticing that -50% response curve more and more. I started slowly tweaking that number upwards. By the time I got my Honeycomb before xmas and made the switch to that, I had my sensitivity set to -15% on the stick and to me that was perfect.
With the Honeycomb, I haven’t touched anything. I like it just the way it is.
So really, it’s a matter of experimentation. Once you have the dead zone tweaked out, at that point it’s really a matter of personal preference.
As Mort pointed out. there is a big difference depending on the sensitivity and accuracy of the stick and how you set it up.
I have an old Sidewinder Precision Pro 2. No pots. All photoelectric, except throttle. Rock solid, no flutter and super sensitive. I mostly fly with two fingers and just tip pressure. Feels like a well trimmed aircraft for real.
That’s how I fly with the Honeycomb now. It takes very little motion to have a significant effect on my control surfaces. And I quite like that. A few planes will require a nice pull on rotation, but for most, it’s just a slight pull back and I’m airborne.
Sensitivity at -99 with my stick and it’s still impossible to flare without the 152 porpoising like mad. Time for a new stick, I guess.
How do you dial up the steering angle planespecific? THX
You don’t. Your sensitivity settings are global.
It requires a manual edit of the flight_systems.cfg and (recommended) an edit of the systems.cfg to enable differential braking if you don’t have rudder pedals.
Thank you. Can you give me some sources to learn more about that edits?
The first thing is to understand what’s being edited. Download and install the SDK (from Developer Mode). If you don’t want to keep the development programs, then copy the documentation folder somewhere else and then uninstall the package. I have an early copy of that documentation, and sections of it are still blank. Fortunately, I have experience editing aircraft dating back to FS9. All of the *.cfg files are editable with Notepad, so you can simply open them, and in many cases, read through them to understand a lot of what’s coded. Some sections though, require the documentation to understand them.
But before you ever try to edit any file, don’t forget to make a backup. Not every text editor has the ability to “Undo” after a save. (Notepad++ does have that ability, and it’s much better than Windows’ Notepad.)
