In the end I feel that a joystick with a light action will make you less 'ham-fisted' and all your finer control over your aircraft will improve.

Donkey,

I used to have the same problem as you,nose bounce. I isolated the problem and it was the rudder axis.The light forces required on the X52 seem to greatly exagerate this effect. I would pull the trigger and I could see rudder input which caused the nose to swing left and right.

This can be solved with use of rudder pedals,simply remove the twist rudder and 95% of the problem is solved. I was also having some elevator input,the actual nose bounce,this was resolved by enable scaling. I simply reduced the input,at the center of the axis for Elevator,the first 3 or 4 sliders on the left were set quite low.

So, be patient,try some adjustments,think about pedals and Practice,practice,practice.....

Adding some deadband to the rudder would be an easy way to find out if Morfiend is right. And a good way to keep from adding rudder when you don't intend to.

I went from the X52 to the Cougar, same story for me.. HATED it at first, just have to get used to it..

its not like learning to walk again,
but it is like walking on different legs.

Didn't see it mentioned in the earlier posts but you might also consider getting a powered usb hub. My x52 was having wierd quirks and bounces. Turns out it wasn't getting enough power and the power wasn't very consistant, the spikes making the pots not read correctly.

The powered hub runs my pedals and x52 now. Can't really feel a difference in the pedals but the stick and throttle have a much more precise feel now. Its amazing.
