"dont move your controls so rapidly"

I get this all the time, never before have I. My flying style has not changed either. Am I the only one?? has there been a change in the code making it sensitive? Is it just my stick? I dont stickstir.

Most likely you are getting stick spikes.

 I got the same message after I switched to a F-16 Combatstick, I had to add damping which made the planes sluggish.

I also lose calibration a lot since switching, I'm pretty sure its the lousy gameport on the SBLive card as it spikes badly when I run a diagnostic on it.

I get it also, had to add a bit more damping.
I have a MS sidewinder FF, seems to have sorted it for the moset part but, it would appear that it is linked to the use of the HAT switch. Especially prevelent when in a turn using both rudder and aileron & looking to the side using the HAT.

U get used to it, pain in the arse in a dogfight tho

I used to get that message, had to adjust Deadbands and dampening. Also anytime you install DX it enables Polling with Interups, ya need to disable it in Win Jstick setup..

Dog out.........

I get it when I fly a buff.  Switching between gunner positions means you gotta change your stick directions rapidly.  Add in a low-alt mission, and you've got a nasty death.
