Virtual Axis Rotation with RotateDXAxis
-
Bump. I guess nobody is using this anymore. I think I will try it out at and see how 12° and 5° feel.

I think it depends on the physical placement of the stick. The relatively geometry on my desk is a little more favorable than the real airplane. The real reason why I don’t use the twist mapping is that I don’t run the joystick under the combined controller and so I can’t edit anything about it. The reason I do that is because I want all 32+8 dedicated to the throttle device.

Yeah. Thanks. I am using your profile so I have not messed around with it for the same reason. I am just curious what the degree of offset is in the real pit. For some reason I have a lag problem with the slew cursor so I had to remap it in TARGET. I would be interested to hear what you thought if you felt like giving it a try.
MapAxis(&Throttle, SCX, DX_X_AXIS); //X AXIS (Cursor X)
SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCX, 0, 30, 0, 3, -1);
MapAxis(&Throttle, SCY, DX_Y_AXIS); //Y AXIS (Cursor Y)
SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCY, 0, 30, 0, 3, -1); -

There was a large thread on this topic. The physical stick is not rotated, but the axis’ are rotated 12 degrees to the right. Earlier jets had slightly different things going on but the consensus was ^ for today’s jets.

It is not the stick itself that is rotated 12 degrees, but the internal “gimbal” axes within the SCC itself.

Is this the thread you are talking about? It sounds like it is 12 degrees instead of the 5 degrees that Thrustmaster claims.

I am not a VP member. The thread I linked in the first post states that it is the transducer and not the stick, but they never seemed to confirm if it was 12 degrees or not. That is why I am trying to get more info. It sounds like it is 12 degrees and not 5, but I have not heard definitively.

Its 12 degrees now. It could have been 5 degrees on those blocks from like 14 years ago or whenever TARGET was written.

+1. The VP thread I linked to also indicates 12 degrees. Interestingly enough, the VP folk were at one time working on a working replica SSC, based on copying an actual one…but a lot of that information was lost when they migrated servers and re-hosted the forum. There were drawings there for most (if not all…) of the internal parts, and a skilled hobby machinist could make one for himself. I think someone may have even gotten one or two working.
Isn’t it the stick grip in the Warthog that’s rotated 5 degrees? I seem to remember reading that somewhere…could be some of the confusion.

After experimenting with this script in Target I found 12 degrees to be too much and was then over correcting so instead settled with somewhere inbetween.
I think it really comes down to where the stick is located in relation to your body on whether the offset is needed.
