If your happy with your stick, why mess with it?
Basically the scaling and such just smooths out your hand movements. Seeing not all stick are the same you have to have some adjustment. I have a cross between Murdrs and Ak-AK settings. For my roll I have all the sliders at the top, for my rudder they start about a third UP from the bottom on the left and go to the top right corner in a strait line. My elevators start in the same place, but climb to the top right corner in a graceful arc.
I'm pretty easy on my stick. I was trying to transition over to FR n AWIII when I came over to AH so I was still very aware of "trying to be smooth to save "E". On the other hand, I have an AV8TOR stick from Saitek that I used while on the road. It was much more sensitive and all the slider setting I used for the CH gear weren't even close for that stick. So to be able to fly like I normally did...which was mediocre at best
I had to really move the slider much farther down toward the bottom of the scale.
Scaling isn't going to give you an advantage other than making you "ABLE" to control your plane better. If you have a lite touch you can run closer towards the top because you have slow easy movement and that translates to smooth movements of the controls. If your heavy handed, and yank the stick off the desk often then you'll need to move the slider towards the bottom which delays the inputs slightly so that the same "YANK" one guy does moves the controls on the plane as smooth as the guy who is easy on his stick.
AK-AK's setting are a good starting point.
1. They are posted and easy to find.
2. They are used by a well known, and shall we say above average pilot
(means you start out with confidence in the settings)
3. They are not too aggressive a setting (which would make it even MORE frustrating to learn the game)
So like I said at the beginning............. If your happy with your settings, why mess with it?
