Author Topic: joystick lag (Read 688 times)

moot · « **on:** January 05, 2004, 07:44:15 AM »

only the js does it (a CH fighterstick USB), not the mouse or USB X45 throttle (stick unused), nor the pedals (Logitech wingman formula force GP wheel).

The stick will just lag, at 100% throw, it'll stay at maybe 10% in the game, and only react completely when I yank it with some Y input a bit.
Seems to only happen for the X axis, and only when flying through graphically heavy areas, ie thick clouds and many ground objects.

Any solution?

What is your damping set to in the AH Joystick panel for the Roll axis?

it and deadband are at 0.

Are your input curve sliders at default? (the 10 sliders from 0 to 90)

Put those sliders back to the straight diagonal line.

With those settings, you are basically telling AH to input X at a very slow rate until the stick is about 1/2 throw and then to input very quickly.

there's something wrong, I've had these settings since I started AH years ago and it's only happening now.

I can have the stick at 100% throw, and it'll sit at barely any aileron deflection untill I move the Y axis a bit, it'll wake up and will work properly untill the next time it happens.

Just try it moot. See what happens.

well, it hasn't done it yet in 2-3 minutes, i'll post if it does.

I'm still curious why it would be doing that, and have the impression there's something wrong that's going by unfixed.

thanks for the help.

well it looks like it might be gone, but I can't make minute adjustments in slow slow stalls anymore. ;-(
I understand if there's a misunderstanding about how I had it setup, but that was exactly what I wanted, almost nothing untill halfway thru, so I have more control over tiny movements.

haven't run into low fps areas yet.

still does it.

Check your x & y trim pots on the j-stick, make sure they are in detent and recalibrate in windows before you load the program manager if your using it.

well it's thoroughly borked now, and I cant get the ****ing thing open without being a brute..

Got a problem similar last night.

For a unknown reason my stick driver were unloaded , I had to re-install the driver leading to the behaviour you got...

My next step was to re-install once again the driver and recalibrate it using the stick control pannel.

Hope it will help a bit.
