Control sensitivity

Hello everyone, first post for me on these forums but I have been using the IL-2 sims on and off since inception. I have some issues with the control set up in CoD and was hoping to get some feedback about what can be done and what will be done in the future to fix them. I am using a saitek x-52 standard.

1. Small adjustments towards the middle of the aileron, rudder and elevator axes are impossible since the movement is translated hugely to the control surfaces.
This is making lining up good passes on bombers VERY difficult. I dont like to have to sit behind a bomber for five minutes trying to move the joystick .001 mm in any given direction to line up the crosshair.

2. Where is the old Il-2 system where we could adjust the curve of every axis on the controller? You know, 0,20,38,....and so on. This is the only thing that made my stick usable in IL-2 and it is DESPERATELY needed here. As it stands now combat flying in this sim is just far to stressful on the control side of things. I can not continue playing CoD without an axis curve adjustment.

3. If it isnt broken, dont fix it. See number 2 above. And yes the slider for the axis on my stick is moved all the way to 1.00 and its is still FAR TO SENSITIVE closer to center.

If anyone can point me to a program that will let me adjust my axis curves outside of the sim please let me know, I can find nothing and the SST software seems useless for this. As far as I'm concerned all other bugs and things can wait, if I cant properly control the aircraft then all the eye candy in the world means nothing. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I looked in all the config files and found nothing similar to the old 0,1,2,3,4,5 setup of the axes. There is some bit in there with decimal points but its only a few numbers and I have no idea what is what. Surely someone from 1C can chime in here and let us know what can be done. I have tried my hardest to use the sim with the controls how they are but it is just not possible. The more I play CoD the more I want to play 1946, at least the controls were configurable to the point where I was a serious threat in the air. Now I'm like some kinda invalid fumbling behind a bomber struggling to land even 10% of my shots... This really is the biggest issue I have at the moment. Further CoD use is suspended until I have a fix.

I am going to try a simple copy and paste from my 1946 config into the CoD config and see if the values are recognized at all. These entries in CoD will be placed under the same spot as the 1946 ones(rts_joystick).

The only thing under this in the CoD config is FF=0.
I copied and pasted this from 1946:

[rts_joystick]
X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0
Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0
Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
RZ=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0
FF=0
U=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0
V=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

I will test this now and report my results here.

OK, even with the RZ (rudder) axis values set very low it is still very sensitive.
Little to no change with this I'm afraid. If anyone comes up with anything new let us know!

Well, it seems possible that the above config edit did work, though not for all aircraft. The hurricane fells much more stable now but the spitfire feels twitchy as ever. I'm not sure exactly what is happening here, I hope someone with more knowledge of the games inner workings can fill me in.

I wish we had curves as we did in the previous game.
