Hi all,

I was wondering whether someone had sussed out how to modify joystick sensitivity, for example to give it a response curve?
The in-game adjustments are just not good enough I'm afraid....

Not as far as I know. I heard that this was deliberately removed to prevent gaming that was occuring in IL-2. Apparently you could set up so that you basically never stalled. I wasn't aware of this and stkll don't know for sure.

Anyway, subscribing in the faint hope that someone knows better.

I heard that as well. Used to adjust the config in IL-2. At this point I have just adjusted to it. Not too bad in the Spit but the Blenheim really needs some toning down.

Furious, barring any 3rd party utility that would work with your stick, the only thing I could recommend is getting the Thrustmaster TM16000 stick that uses the same software as the Warthog HOTAS.

For $39 at Amazon.com the TM16000 is a freaking steal. I have one as a backup to my Warthog. Features: Halls sensors, very sturdy, very precise, lots of programable buttons, twist grip rudder axis, throttle lever, brews coffee and makes breakfast. And uses the TARGET software which enables you to program response curves on the X and Y axis.

TBH, I just use the default straight curves on both Warthog and (when I use it) TM16000, so I can't say how effective it is.

And, no, I don't work for Thrustmaster (ask me how I HATE the Cougar and TM rudder pedals!) LOL

Hi Snapper,
I've been playing around with the settings in the Target Script Editor - this is what is working for me. I use 1.5 for a small curve that gives me a steadier target solution at closeup view.

MapAxis(&Joystick, JOYX, DX_X_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE);
SetSCurve(&Joystick, JOYX, 0, 0, 0, 1.5, 0);
MapAxis(&Joystick, JOYY, DX_Y_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_ABSOLUTE);
SetSCurve(&Joystick, JOYY, 0, 0, 0, 1.5, 0);

Thanks, Cats, will give it a try. The beauty of the TARGET software is that I can add your curves and simply do a Save As under a new name. If it doesn't work out for my style of flying, I simply go back to my current profile.

Thanks again -- looking forward to trying this! :thumbsup:
