yes thats my whole point a high sensitivity is an advantage to go to the limit(because it takes shorter to move the hand a litle than alot)

thats it why he hardly moves the stick cause it has high sensitivity

well winny i take your advice for good and dont give a dumb about those haters

dont you agree that f16 stick has a high sensitivity, quite more than wwii sticks?


in fact ive tried myself a simillar setup to the f16 sidestick racing

i increased hugely the FORCE dumping of my g25 and have a lock of 5º

thats like moving the hands 0.5 cm from lock to lock

also i agree that a huge force resistance is another way to decrease sensitivity, its not only the run actually

edit:

and winny dont you think i am being reasonable calling bs a 0.6 cm dead zone in a control stick?

come on its common sense imagine driving like that

edit:

i have just tested the f16 sidestick concept with my g25 to race:

i decreased the lock to 4º thats like .7mm run on th hands

and i incresed centering force to the maximum(which is gradual the more you move the wheel the more it increases)

also added it a very slightly force feed back

i was going at times faster than the average guys in a circuit i had never driven

i feel like cheating now i have a modded g25 to act as an f16 sidestick

edit:

well after a clasification multiplayer in a circuit I HAD NEVER RACED BEFORED i ranked 14th of 24 with the f16 style wheel setup

this thread has been a great idea now i know even more about controls setups
