Virgil Warbird base with TM grip axis curve
-
Does anybody have examples or their axis curves?
I have found the stock default curve to be way too sensitive around the center.
I had a very difficult time refueling.
Just curious how everyone else has their curves for BMS.

@MudDog I was using a virpil warbrd base with a small stick extension (maybe 2 inches, iirc) and the warthog/f16 grip and found it to be perfect. Are you sure you’re using refuel gain, i.e. the refueling door is open?

@kungfoo I didn’t say I couldn’t refuel, I tried stick for several hours of refueling and had to tame the center down a bit. it’s a lot better now.
I just was wondering where everyone else is at, what does everyone else’s axis curve look like.
What is refuel gain?

@MudDog ymmv but my standard advice, is to try to make things as linearly-contiguous as possible
theory: it’s not the raw sensitivity per se, but the discontinuity in sensitivity, that’s hard to adapt to and control… especially if your PC and monitor have ~100ms of input-to-render latency (which is common)
- reduce or eliminate deadzones, in your hardware/driver
- within BMS setup, set deadzone to ‘none’ for pitch and roll
- use [alt+C][J] in flight, if necessary, to recalibrate / zero out any drift
refuel gains
just refers to the way FLCS reduces the sensitivity (gains) when aar door is open (also landing-gear down)
if you’re trying to gently nudge into position, and have forgotten to open the aar door yet … it is noticeable
I think the boom operator actually yells at you on the radio now… not sure when that was added.

if you do all of that and still seems like sensitivity is too high … note you can control the curve within BMS, with the following cfg values
“3” may seem small, but for the tiny stick motions required in AAR, even a very small amount of curve-flattening is enough to be noticeable
