      Something is up with my mini stick on the throttle. I use it for my radar courser, but now it seems, it has gone funked up.

      symptom’s: it will constantly move the courser up and to the left making it impossible to maintain a constant radar picture.

      I have set all dead zone to max in the Saitek control panel and to large in bms but no joy.

      has anybody encountered this before? or know of any fixes for this problem

      cheers

        Snake, I had tried both the microstick and the mode switch mods, and neither was successful. My microstick acted just like yours. One, or the other mod, also made my -65 crash, and I had to completely redo the pr0. I know a lot of people have done these mods, but I couldn’t get them to work.
        I can tell you that converting the microstick to a 4- way(via STT) IS stable. I use that for my speedbrake. Iv’e thought about using the non-axis approach for cursor control on the microstick, but I’ve gotten used to having that on Hat 4
        EDIT/UPDATE- I did set up the microstick as a banded “4 way switch” and it did work.

          I have a solution to the ministick issue that I would like to share. It is a three step process.

          I. In your SST programming software set your ministick axis’ to bands. I created three bands 0-23%, 23-77%, and 77-100%. You will assign a function to RDR CRS left/right in the 0-23% and 77-100% respectively only, you will not assign a function to the middle range 23-77%. Do this for both X and Y axis.

          II. Go into BMS setup and change the default shift arrow key assignment to any single key assignments not already being used. I used the arrow keys by themselves, left, right , up , down.

          III. With the single key assignment in your setup its just a matter of assigning those 0-23% and 77-100% bands in the X and Y axis to those keys you assigned in setup.

          Be sure to launch your SST with those assignments berfore flying the actual sim.

          Happy flying!

            For the x65f you have to create a new advanced command.
            Enter the keystroke this will create 4 boxes. shft, arrow, shft, arrow.
            select the 2 last boxes and click “cut”
            and “paste” those in the release box and then click “OK”. Done…

              You can turn it into proper axis and revert it.

                hello folks:

                using your registry, you can change the way the mini stick is seen.

                You can use my registry edits below.

                the first one, will RESET everything back to the first setup. the second one,
                will take away the RUDDER axis for ministick, the third will take away one of the TWO THROTTLE AXIS.

                I like to take away the throttle axis as F-16 is single engine anyways.

                copy between the code to a .reg file and then load into your registry.
