Yet another flightstick thread

[draux]

Is the deadzone that bad for the AV8R? I have the Ace Edge and its has one to but its tolerable. Id like to pick on up for a friend, but I dont want him to be worse off than if he was just using a regular controller.

Well its just my opinion but i think its pretty bad. The stick controls well overall but when it comes to minute adjustments it becomes quite a pain.

For instance, when trying to shoot a bomber, i zoom in and try to aim for the engines, apply pressure to the stick and nothing happens, then i add slightly more pressure and the input kicks in and jerks my aim.

I think it will take a lot of getting used to, but i still find it preferable (and more fun) than a game pad.

Ace Edge or Hori atleast has less deadzone then AV8R

No it doesn't.

Neither controller has an actual deadzone.

The game itself has a deadzone, programmed in there by the developer.



To see that I am talking about, go plug the aviator into the PC. You could then go into the controller settings, and see that there is no deadzone at all in the actual hardware.

I can live with the dead zone on my av8r. What is hard to get used to is the binary response of the rudder. I haven´t checked if the controller has the same behaviour, but with the aviator the rudder is really all or nothing. Really annoying when aiming.

Yes, but yet by control has the Hori less deadzone, i dont know how or why, i dont even care.
I have both sticks and i can tell you Hori has less deadzone.

Not saying you are not right, i indeed checked my AV8R on pc and couldent find a deadzone.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would the devs programme in a deadzone?

Perhaps because it makes sense to have a deadzone on a contoller where the movements ar much smaller. Maybe they havent changed this for the aviator, but have changed it for the trustmaster?

Ah, i get it now.

I'm thinking that maybe when the devs were programming flight stick compatibility, the hori series was the chosen stick and thus the minimal deadzone on them.

... although, my theory could be complete crap

seconded, I have thrustmaster and has same problems as above. Also, in sim mode you can still see outside plane, fly level with an FW on your tail and it takes forever for him to shoot you down. I hope they fix these problems.
