KBRD218 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hello everyone, I have been flying X-Plane for a while now, and have always used the keyboard/mouse combo for flying. I know thats really lame for any seasoned veteran, but its all I knew. Anyway, I recently purchased a Saitek joystick and have tried it out and everything works great. My main question is are there any tips or tricks I can use to get more comfortable using it. It seems awkward, maybe just takes time to get used to, I don't know. Thanks.

larjeet Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 don't over control use small smooth movements keeping the stick close to the center point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntr09 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Use trim to your advantage. The goal is to be able to take your hand off of the stick at almost any stage of flight and the plane stays straight and level. Fiddle around with the Linearity sliders and get them how you like. Make sure to slide the Stability sliders all the way off. Have fun! -NR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
