Roll Gs
-
I noticed that my roll rate is quite slow when compared to the real F-16. There is like a significant time lag between the mechanical motion of the flight stick (Left or Right) and the electrical response to it (the actual banking of the jet in the sim). How can I modify this?
-
Sounds like your stick calibration is off, or you have a set of curves in your calibration which is washing it out. Your stick should be calibrated to a 1:1 linear curve.
-
I do a manual calibration which requires the motion of each axis to a maximum then click the trigger, should I used auto?
-
does this curve look right?
-
If you do manual calibration for HOTAS COUGAR with FOXY you should set ±20 units for each axis. This is the best calibration value for Z Y Axis!

sorry could you explain some more, ±20 where exactly? offset & curving?
-
No prob just have to be in front of my screen to be exact in order to show you the proper steps. I will try tomorrow evening and post here some images. Nothing difficult though…Manual calibration is a very easy procedure with FOXY. I m sure you are familiar with it. Just have to select proper value for X Y axes…

Yes, that’s what you should have in the Cougar. Might want to check your Windows calibration too.
-
Suggest no dead zone and linear curve. (No curves) all are build in in FLCS. See FLCS articles.

Be aware the roll rate and roll inertia is heavily dépendant on
Speed
AOa

The important part is the Curve, which is zero. I don’t know the state of your Cougar but mine has an FSSB mod installed, so I reduce the deadzones in the centre to a value of 3. I could go lower than this, even zero it out, but I like just a little bit of play for when my hand is resting on the stick in neutral. Even with a stock setup, if you have good clean potentiometers you could consider reducing yours also.

the cougar response is real good,signal moves almost instantly per the stick’s motion but in the game there is a significant time lag between the motion of the stick and the actual rolling of the jet

what’s your speed , AOA and altitude ?
are you sure you dont have curve applied to your stick ?
show us your CCP setting on X axis

it’s on the 4th reply of this thread. Yes the roll does become faster as speed increases but at 300kts and flying straight the jet should roll faster. Even in Falcon 4 setup the ball moves instantly as I move the stick. I am not sure what’s curved applied to the stick, is that something I can remove?

Make a video of your « issue »
300kt means nothing , 300kts at 20000ft is very low speed
-
sorry don’t how to make videos. It’s really my expectation that the F-16 should roll faster. May be FSSB update would have been better
-
What have you got hanging under your wings? More stores translates to lower roll rate due to higher roll inertia, drag, etc.
-
yes of course extra weight adds all the inertia, I am testing under a clean configuration. I am comparing the cougar with the saitik’s Pro-flight X65 combat HOTAS which has a special button that makes the jet in the sim roll like a thunderbirds does. With my cougar there is a very noticeable time lag between the motion of my hand and the actual roll in the sim.

Reduce your deadzone to zero and try again.

dead zones for both X & Y are all zero but still hand moves first then 1-2 sec jot rolls (400kts at 19000 ft). May be that is just a feature of a cougar with Ian’s springs? I do have the Hall sensors installed.
