Have you experimented with the stick scaling and damping to try to even out the inputs?

ya, what ^ he said!

You might be able to adjust enough out to make it a bit easier.

:airplane: Kenne, I think you were sincere when you made this post, so I am going to give you a little advice which you can use!
Take whatever aircraft you favor flying, but less say for instance, a P-51D. #1, be sure and have your "auto-takeoff" function box "X'd" in your flight options, located on your clipboard map, then click on one of the runway's outlined in the airfield box. when it spawns out on the runway, just open the throttle to full forward and let it takes itself off. #2-Let the ole ponie climb up to at least 4 or 5 thousand, straight ahead, with out any help from you. #3, then push your stick forward enough to bring the nose down a little, then engage "X", for the auto pilot. Next, pick you out a "cardinal" heading, of which they are eight, N, 030, 090, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315 and establish a constant heading of your choosing, then close your throttle, all the way back, and try to maintain your heading and altitude as the aircraft decreases its speed. As you approach stalling speed, you will notice stall warnings in your ear and the aircraft will begin to shake a little. Keep the stick all the way back, which you will do as the speed decreases and as a wing drops off, say the left one, push right rudder to correct it back to a wings level attitude. Keep that up for a few seconds or min or two and you will see that the ponie is not near as "mean" as your mind has convinced itself that it is. Next, return power back to say, 40 inches of manifold pressure, then lower 50% flaps, then drop landing gear down, then finshing lowering flaps all the way down. As you do these things, you will have to make control inputs to maintain a wings level attitude. Reduce your power as required to maintain about 150MPH indicated airspeed. After you have stabilized everything at about 150, slowly bring back your stick until you again, approach a stall with all the warning that go with it. You can see real quick the bird will fly itself right out of the stall, if you ease forward on the stick, causing the aircraft to again reach flying speed. Next, reduce your power to "off" and let the aircraft stall with full flaps down and landing gear down, again, if a wing "falls" off one way or the other, apply opposite rudder to bring the wing back to a level attitude, even though the nose may be pointing down. The next step I would recommend is that you "clean" up the aircraft, raise flaps and gear, go to full power and climb as steeply as you can with out starting a loop and let the aircraft stall, again trying to keep the wings in a level attitude with the use of your rudder. As the ole bird approaches stall speed, with a number of warning signs, having to use much more right rudder to keep your heading constant, try to maintain a wings level attitude, even though your nose is pointed very high in the sky. Again, as you are recovering from the stall, or if you want to keep from stalling completely, ease forward on the stick just a hair and you will see that the bird flies right out of the stalling condition. As you are doing these exercises, try to maintain a constant heading which you choose to begin with. you will notice real quick that it takes constant control inputs, both aileron and rudder to maintain your heading!
I think if you do a few of these type of exercises, your nerves will calm down and you will begin to really enjoy the art of flying!

If you have a programmable joystick, some allow you to increase the dead zone around the center of the axis.  If not, then there are some joystick configuation utilities (you'll have to do a Google search) that will allow the same thing by changing the DirectInput settings in DirectX.  By increasing the dead zone around the center of the axis, the joystick won't 'see' the inputs caused by your hands shaking, unless you put much more force into your movement.

I have a friend with Parkinsons that had to stop playing Rise of Flight because of his hands shaking too much.  After we fiddled with adjusting the dead zones, he was able to fly around again.

thanks for you replys.
i can fly in an 'airline' enviroment, but when it comes to combat, my hands just start to shake uncontrollaby untill im out of the fight.

even in a bomber, they shake when i go to guns to defend the buff.

gettn old.
perhaps an infusion of alcohol would deddn nerves, kinda like what they gave that kid that took over
for Moon at the cow palace Who concert.

i have even increase the lever of my stick. most sticks you know are right above the base.
well i removed my stick and extended the pole by a meter. works great, and i dont get the
'dont move stick so fast' buffer. but still cant line up a fighter to punce on a buff:(

the worst part of it all is looking at yalls great vids on you tube. i crushes my heart that i cant do that anymore.
least i can fly the buffs.

The next time your on jump in a fighter and film it, then post the film here. Maybe guys working together can come up with a solution that can settle you done enough to fly and fight again. What can it hurt? Some of these guys build and adjust some pretty amazing things for this game.

Hey,

  I also have the 'Shaky Hands' when I don't eat, drink coffee, or have a lot a adrenaline from a good fight.  If the shaking starts when the fight starts/get intense - give it time.  As your body adjusts it will become less over time.

Regards,

Kenne I recenty went from a 4" exension on my stick to an 8" extension and it's a very noticable improvement. Since you have a meter long stick your hands shaking shouldn't affect gunnery much compared to the normal stubby stick most players use. Excessive deadband and damping may be more of a problem than a solution with your stick extension. If you can meet me in the training arena we can play with your settings and work on your gunnery and formation flying.

Have you been checked out lately?

I had the same deal, I would get tremors, heart palpitations and short of breath at the slightest excitement.

Turns out I had a thyroid condition.

My neck shakes when I fly ( like a nervous knee movement) kinda like I'm saying yes fast, It started in AW and only happens when I fly and am fully engrossed. I was quite the hit at the AWCON while I was in the ladder - people couldn't understand that I don't notice it until it gets really bad. My eyes somehow adjust.
