Author Topic: Calibrating a joystick Calathea Member Member # 6883 posted 10-03-2000 06:15 AM                   Can someone please explain the joystick calibration screen, what do those sliders actually do? I cannot find anything in the manual that mentions them, maybe i am blind....

With all sliders at max, each controls 1/10th of the total range. Adjust a slider up for higher sensitivity for a particular portion of the range or down to reduce sensitivity. In practice, most pilots prefer less sensitivity at lower ranges. This makes fine adjustments easier during landings and tanking, for example. I have first 5 sliders set at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and rest at 100. Works for me. Habu Out Posts: 514 | From: Virginia Beach, VA, USA | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged
