Stick scaling / calibration

Who can give me the wisdom how to perfectly calibrate/scale my Logitech Freedom 2.4?
Are there any pre-set calibration's out there? (besides Ack's which is only a link to a news website...)
Thanks a lot.

The best calibration for a logitech is when it's in a trash can shattered into tiny pieces.

Missed the best part of that calibration scenario.  The part where you get to throw it on the ground and jump up and down on it.  Thats how you get it into those tiny pieces.  THEN you throw it in the trash.  Calibration complete.  :D

Kaiser,
do not take people on these boards to seriously, alot of them are blowing smoke!

as for your calibration, this is the same for everyone, calibrate in windows, then calibrate in the game.

stick scaling is something you will need to do by trial and error.......

most of the top guns fly with their scaale sliders set to 100% across the top on all axis ( pitch, roll, rudder, etc...)

some fly with a sweeping curve from left to right ( sort of like the right half of the letter U ) to where you start out at 0 on the left and gradually let the sliders sweep up to 100% on the right...

here is a link you can read up on it about:
