Final update. I’ve done everything. I’ve uninstalled the game and reinstalled. I’ve updated the drivers. I bought a different stick and it had the exact same problems. I’ve submitted support requests and bug reports to no avail. I’ve taken the ■■■■ thing apart and put it back together. I’ve adjusted every setting I can find. I’ve recalibrated it. Nothing has worked. I may keep the game to occasionally fly the airliners, but I downloaded X-Plane and found everything works beautifully and smooth as it should. Not trying to rail on Microsoft here, but if they had put half as much time into the gameplay as they did the graphics, it might be worth the ■■■■ ton of money I spent updating my hardware just to be able to play the game.
I know my twist rudder gets jittery. But all I need is to do a full flight control check. Do a full rudder twist movement slowly to either side, and eventually it stabilises and stops the jitter.
Yeah, I typically do check my flight controls before takeoff. Interestingly, I found that by shutting the engine off and then back on, I can temporarily solve the thrust issue where the engine won’t rev up to full power. Not sure why that may be happening, but at least there is a (tedious and temporary) fix that works consistently for that issue. Perhaps I have something set up wrong in the cockpit.
