is 300-400 points of deviation normal for analog signals of CH gear?

ie a fluctuation from 32100 to 32500?

my ch rudders did it and my brand new CH fighterstick does it its like flying in turbulence all the time.

x52 did it but not as bad as this CH gear does.

what gives?

this is supposed to be the best gear made and its crap

weird.. my CH pedals are pretty steady, really happy w/ them

obvious suggestion i know, but you try calibrating in control panel first then in game? helps a little my saitek cyborg twisty.

same here with the Fighterstick, Fester.
The rest of the CH gear doesnt have the problem though, especially the pedals have a very stable readout.

Even with problem the CH Joystick is better than the X45 and Cougar for me.

yeah its better than saitek sure but saitek is garbage.

it still not as good as the discontinued sidewinder sticks

I have to calibrate my x45 every time I start the game. Then I have to go back and do my x-axis individually. Its all over the place if I don't.

Try them on a different computer. I actually have some usb ports that make everything jumpy and some where everything is smooth all on the same machine. Go figure.

Increase your deadband.......its a crutch to be sure......but may fix your problem temporarily.

problem isnt the deadband..

its when the stick is deflected.
neither dampening or deadband affect this.

CFYA · « **Reply #9 on:** May 19, 2007, 03:24:15 PM »

Ahhhh......was thinkin it was just when the stick was in the neutral position.

Good luck with that ......

Let us know what you find.

I was having those problems too I switched the usb port and they went away.

Fester ,see ur post in hardware forum.

"fluctuation from 32100 to 32500" this is common and needs alittle dampaning to calm down .

Mak333 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2007, 04:00:43 PM »

I feel your pain Fester. My CH Combatstick 568 has the same problem. My Y axis fluctuates a bit.

Get this:

When I use my Y and X axis, my Z axis even jumps with it (Throttle). It's like something inside is not right. When I move just my stick and not my throttle, my throttle should have no fluctuating outputs.

oh I love my sidewinder stick. I have the Force Feedback 2 and I dunno what I'll do if it ever breaks.

you will be in the world of joystick hell that I am in.

I had the FF2 and it was the most realistic resisitance with its motors set to center only and the most precise stick of them all. none of this analog fluctuation BS.

WTF is wrong with this industry? the only decent sticks are discontinued and no one is stepping up to make anything optical or digital its all a bunch of crappy analog signal garbage.
