turbulence??

[r0yalty]

When flying, sometimes my plane will shake a bit just like if i would to jerk the controller.
This can happen even if I fly perfectly straight at a speed of 300mph. It's really irritating when lining up on someones 6 and suddenly the plane wobble for a second or two.

Is that turbulence or my controller?

I'm using a Saitek x52.

You do get your plane shaking and it will become harder to control as it compresses but it shouldn't happen at 300 mph  On your clipboard open up your E6B and try and replicate the problem and have a look at your airspeed.

Other than that it could be a joystick problem, does the plane fly straight and level when you let go of the stick and press X? (level autopilot) or it could be your controls are overly sensitive, try adjusting the scaling and dead band on your stick from the in game menu.

My "shaking" or not the compression-shakings.

It's more like if someone would give my joystick a snap. This can happen in straight flying at cruise speed. Feels more like a joystick issue, but I did calibrate it.

I don't think its a hardware issue with the joystick, as it works perfectly fine when playing world war 2 online (battleground europe) for example..

Why did you have to calibrate the stick in the first place?  were you having issues with it? 

That stick is supported so should just plug in and work straight away without any tinkering.

Be sure to calibrate your stick in Aces High as well as in windows. Sometimes it helps to use a powered USB hub.

On the clipboard in game select options/ map controllers. Look at the numbers showing your joystick position and see if they jump around when you aren't touching the stick, also see if they jump too much when you move the stick a little. If you notice any spiking you can add damping, just click the advanced tab after selecting an axis to adjust. You can also try the default scaling on the pitch axis to see if that helps you.

A little nose bounce when maneuvering is normal and is caused by aerodynamic forces.
