Stick Scaling

[Dichodog]

CH Gear across the boards

Anybody want to share your scaling with me?   I've never bothered figuring I'd get used to the way mine is set up and I'm sure changing it is going to mess me up (like I could be any worse LOL).  Anyway if you have views, scaling, etc.. care to share?

I asked the same question. Kinda went south with the same ole HTC pages linked.

Ack ack had a profile he used to share. He was all CH gear, pretty much maxed out the sliders across the board.

Takes some time to get used to flying like that through.

I also have Ch set-up

not sure what your asking?

Dicho,
  I have all CH gear and with the exception of the rudders use default scaling, deadband, etc.; across the board. With the rudders, I applied ~ 15-20% damping, and I'll probably reduce that as I get more proficient with 'em. I find (at least with the CH gear) that the stick is very smooth and I don't have a clue on how to improve on the stick's performance. One "trick" I got from the CH Forum was to SLIGHTLY underthrow the stick's limits during calibration. Instead of full deflection in all directions, only go 95-98% - that way when you apply full deflection in use - it's guaranteed to supply full deflection in the application (game).

Dicho, partly it depends on what your looking for.

Most times I get involved with stick scaling with someone its because their stick is so sensitive they can't fly with it.

If your not having that problem you may not need to go there at all. OR, you could go very proactive on scaling, and use an upward curve to max out your control responses.


Default scaling is an upward stairstep 0 - 9 each step a bit above the one before it and the last step at the top.
In effect, this mean you can only get true 100% control deflection by pulling the stick ALL the way back.

If the stick is sensitive, we use a "LOW" Curve, like a piece of rope. Its not a straight line, we start out lower, and step up much smaller until past the halfway mark. Then make big steps at the end in order to reach the top, or max input.

If you want to max out your control, you'd want a HIGH curve. Some start scaling half way up, or higher, depends on exactly where on your stick you want things to really start happening. At any rate you want to curve UP quickly.
This is going to max your control, allowing you max imput to your plane without having to pull the stick full back. However it takes a smooth hand to fly.

Then of course you have the hard core purists who set scaling at the top across the board.
This can make it almost impossible for the average person to fly. However, if you master this, you'll have quicker reverses, snapper rolls, and faster responses than most of those you run across. I do NOT recomend this unless you have CH Gear, are flying at least a couple hours a day, and have your current settings backed up so you can restore them. If your looking for that last edge in dueling, this might be it, but take it at your own risk.

btw if you wanted to try akak's settings.

scroll to bottom to the trainer files, you'll find the stick scaling, mudr's head pos files and various other goodies.

BTW for ANYONE who is still struggling this site should be read, and reread weekly.

thanks gents.. Ghosth I'll look at that when I get home tonight
