Help converting from mouse to stick!
« on: June 03, 2006, 04:38:43 AM »
Ok, 2.08 has forced my hand, can't live life with button 1 taped down so have dug out my stick.

Know this maybe isn't best place to post initially but figured would get best initial results/responses here!

Managed to get it setup to be able to fly, of a sort.

Stick is a QZ 501 Predator, made by Trust, UK thingy I think.
Has main trigger, three additional buttons and a mini-stick on main stem.
On base it has slider and a button either side.

Set it up, calibrated and all is ok except for one thing.
Z rotation is set to Yaw (rudder), when I effect a right turn offline, in F3 mode, the rudder sets correct for the turn, however when I centre it remains offset right.
When I effect a left turn it centres and stays there, doesn't seem to move left or beyond centre?

I have been in advanced but to be honest its foreign to me how to setup and adjust and really don't know what I'm supposed to be doing in there, could use some simple pointers!

Anyone know a simple set of settings I need to use to get me going?
Should I un-map Z rotation maybe and use the two base keys as rudder left and right?

Many thanks Waffle for the advice online last night, that got me in the air to start with, appreciated!!

Any of you guys able to help an old "mouser" move into the "stick" age?!

If calibrating that 1 axis doesn't fix it then unmap rudder and use keyboard A S D  mapping those 2 buttons on your stick won't help unless you can map a "Centre" button.
