Hristo:
The problem you discribed with the rudder is indeed what is called "nose bounce".
It is an artifact of the Physics Modeling, not an attempt at modeling asymetrical slat deployment (you only fly the 109 I guess
)
"Nose Bounce" is possible in any of the 3 axis' of movement, and differs from aircraft to aircraft, and joystick setup to joystick setup. Just try the C.205 for example, it bounces horribly in all 3 axis.
Obviously, yours is primarily (mine was too, and I use CH gear) in the yaw axis, and if you move your yaw damper up a little at a time, you should notice that "bouncy" or springlike effect to decrease. The downside is that your rudder will be slightly less responsive the higher you move this damper.
All the other guys:
One thing I notice is that everyone of you are using digital joysticks. For some reasons, digital sticks are much more prone to this problem than the traditional analog sticks.
Wish I could help, but all I can suggest is to isolate the problem one axis at a time. Here is how I do it.
For instance pitch (nose up and down).
First set your responsiveness sliders up. Here's mine from memory.
I prefer the nose to respond slowly at first (Am an E-fighter and blackouts are my enemy) on the joystick, but to then get more responsive the harder I pull. So I might set them up 50,60,70,80,90,100.
Then adjust the deadband until you can release the stick after you have trimmed, and the nose doesn't move or wander. If it moves, or has centering problems, slightly increase the deadband until it doesn't.
Now you need to set the damper. Pull the stick about halfway back and release (without letting go of the stick) to nuetral. If the nose bounces back and forth like on a spring, increase the damper slightly. Repeat until the bouncing is minor or the control is begining to get unresponsive to your taste (mine is setup about 20% to 25% of the way up the vertical scale).
Now do the same thing for roll and yaw.
In roll (no blackouts here) I like more instant response so I setup the sliders in a 80,90,100,100,100 etc fashion. Then Deadband like above. The damper I set very low on roll, between 5% to 10% its not as critical as in pitch and yaw.
Now in my setup, my rudders (or the yaw axis) are overly sensitive (CH PRo's), so I set the main sliders pretty low, like 30, 35, 40, 45, etc. Then again I setup deadband to remove any centering problems. Now here I have a horrible problem with bounce, just like Hristo. So, I set up the damper pretty high. Mine is set like around 40% of the total on the slider.
Right now, I have very little to no nose bounce at all, except in the C.205 and even there it is manageable.
Thats how I do it. Other may have better suggestions. Good Luck!
