Thanks for the tip. I've been playing with these adjustments like for ever trying to get better consistent control when approaching for landing, can't wait to try this. I've been thinking my problem was using "auto rudder control" since I don't have pedals but maybe I was wrong.

Hi All
I have a fairly regular “fluttering “ of aerilons and simultaneous “fluttering “ of joystick in the cockpit in my planes in my P3Dv4.1 setup
Are my Settings too sensitive-should I increase the dead zone
It is a minor but annoying irritation
Anything I could try?

You will have to experiment a bit but yes it sounds like you have a little noise on your hardware (it will happen over time, I have some on my pedals) and a little deadzone might want adding in.

cheers and happy flying,

This tip really helped me... Thanks for posting..

So I've revisited this topic, and I'm in the middle of rebuilding my machine. New MOBO (ASUS Prime Z270P), new CPU (i7/7700, liquid cooling),new grafix card (GTX1060 w/6 Gb), 16 Gb 3000 RAM, and I've reinstalled FSX Steam.

I also have the Saitek X55 controller, Saitek pedals, CH throttle quadrant, and a gaming mouse. So now comes the dilemma: do I plug in all of the controllers, do NOT install the software/drivers for everything, and forgo FSUIPC? With this new set-up, it's nice to start fresh, as I haven't installed anything aside from the sim and all of the aircraft. With A2A, I know there is a set-up for the controllers - is this all I should use? With FSUIPC, Pete Dowson advocates not touching the software drivers at all, and removing all controls from the FSX controller setup.

What say you all? Keep in mind that part of my livery will include PMDG 737NGX and 777, Flight1 King Air, RealAir Turbine Duke. I'm listening...

Hey Gary,

would be best to start a new topic in the pilots lounge to get the general simmers advise and hints of what they do and dont use or do.

thanks,
Lewis

I use FSUIPC and LINDA (only use FSUIPC as its a requirement for Linda, so really only use Linda)

With Saitek Pedals, Warthog HOTAS thottle / stick

Ive never installed drivers, worked fine without

Linda will allow you to set up a profile for each plane you want.

For anyone researching this, stop right now. If they aren't already, put all your sliders full right and kill your deadzones. End of story. This made my plane go from difficult to control to perfectly normal.

I have my sensitivities one tick short of max except for ailerons. I have the null slightly more on that.

I lost that squealing noise of the tires kissing the runway when landing. I was told it was a matter of brakes control setting on my CH Pro Pedal. I tried to change the setting (null zone) but to no avail. Whatever I use, CH Control Manager or P3DV4 own control settings (Menu "Options"), the null zone stays at the same level (nearly 0)... Any idea ?

All my null zones are on FULL LEFT, min. If you then find you need a null zone for a controller, slowly dial it in until it's just right for you.

Scott.

Recently I was pulling my hair out trying to get my throttle quadrants calibrated to no avail. Then I had an old mental note creep into my brain about the sensitivity and null zone settings. I set mine to the extreme + like Scott and that did the trick! Now, when I slide my throttle lever all the way forward, then hit F3 or F4, the throttle levers in the VC don't move. This means than when my physical throttle lever is max forward, then the throttle in FSX is also max fun. I have run into this issue a few times and it's just a matter of my aging memory - if I can remember the routine.

How to check the VKB-Sim_Gladiator_MkII joystick controller sensitivities and procedures to get it right? I can't handle FLARE well in my flights with A2A Connie and the reason to hit ground hard on touchdown. Is there a tutorial or any other source to find out?
