Rudder Bug?

Dolby, you could try to set your rudder back to stick,then click advanced tab,enable scaling,then stairstep the sliders. Depending on where the spiking is occurring,this can help greatly,then set some deadpan this will help if spiking is just off center. Dampen the axis may help as this will slow input and may allow you to continue you to use JS for rudder.
 If you play with these settings you might solve most of the problem,But as Lusche said,pedals will fix it for sure.:aok

I turned my rudders back on for my JS and its lot worse now. I know something in the JS is broken because now and then when I moving it, i hear a 'pop' sound; Now I can't even turn my rudder to the right at all and barely to the left.


Beginning of next month, going to look into getting some Pedals. Hopefully Best Buy has some

Might want to invest in a new stick first. If part of it's broken, you don't know what's going to fail next.

No use spending 2x the money on rudder pedals when the "roll" stops functioning in a month, if you see my point.

Yes definetly. I was going to buy a new stick and if the rudders aren't spiking then I know it was the old JS. But i'm considering getting pedals at an later point because it seems it seems to help out alot (after getting used to it of course) but who knows, maybe i'll stick with twisty stick after all

Some swear by twisty, some swear by pedals. I was twisty for many years. I've been pedals for less than one year, but I think they are a big improvement.

my son's twisty stick did the exact same thing, would be flying normal, then snap roll, looked back and the rudder was acting haywire.

Now being the person that I am, I simply took the stick apart, and placed a few drops of 3 in 1 oil on the micro switch where the twisty stick turns, and wouldn't you know, it fixed it :aok

My sticks hat switches started to not work to the front right, took it apart and placed some 3 in 1 oil in the micro switch, and it now works fine.

I was thinking about doing that with mine but knowing me, i'd probably ruin the stick completely...
