Hi everyone,
I had this problem a while back like everyone else, I freed up the cables so they had some slack so as to not pull on the Potentiometer when moving the sidestick on any axis, and it was a significant improvement.
But it has lasted only 6 months and a small amount of twitching has returned, so I had another look at the problem today fully expecting the wires to be the problem.
But I found that when assembled, the Potentiometer is not held firmly when the two halves of the sidestick are screwed together and this is actually the real problem as it doesn’t really matter if the cables become taught or move around because, if the Potentiometer is held rigid it will not receive any inputs until we rotate the stick.
Today I attached a 2mm thick piece of sticky-backed foam to the oblong surface on the side of the Potentiometer shown in the picture below. When I disassembled it again, I saw an imprint on the foam padding so I knew it was firmly held in position.
I tried the sidestick back on the PC ( without touching the cables) and there is no Twitching at all on any movement or on any axis and it is all good.
The twitching was driving me nuts when using the FBW 320 and it looks as if it’s cured, this may help others if you still have this problem, it only takes 20 mins or less to try.
