Saitek yoke sensitivity and null zones
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 6:46 am
As I continue to wean myself off the autopilot (in the Baron 58 or the Cessna 172... forget the Learjet for now!), I'm still struggling quite a bit with roll and pitch sensitivity. I've seen plenty of comments about how much harder it is to trim in the sim aircraft than in real life and how the lack of feedback in non-feedback yokes make things very challenging. However, I still think my settings are far from optimal....
I've had the sensitivity everywhere from 5% (on the FSX slider) to about 70% and tried various Null Zones in the "40%" to "60%" spread (if you imagine that slider represents 100%).
Is anyone really "as happy as they could be" (given no force feedback) with their settings? If so, would you be kind enough to post them here, either via screenshot or simply giving the approx. position on the slider - especially for roll and pitch.
Also, just fyi, I've got my elevator trim mapped to the second Saitek throttle lever, so I can make some pretty fine adjustments.
Thanks.
