Don't move your controls too rapidly
« on: March 13, 2016, 10:56:39 PM »
Ok I have started getting this information recently. My controls freeze after I get this message. Is there a way I can configure my joystick controls to prevent this?

Cheers

Since it's a new problem try re-calibrating your controls in AH and look for any spiking on the advanced tab where you set the scaling.

If your hardware is good the best fix is simply to move your controls slower. You can try adding damping or scaling to see if you prefer that but you'll need to figure out which axis is causing the message.

I used to lock up from moving my rudder pedals until I noticed how slowly the rudder moves regardless of pedal input.

I understand your pain.

My WAG is HTC uses this feature to fill the gap, and or limitations of their smoothing program that estimates the 3-d location of the red's position on your computer between packets.  That is what gives that flip-floping look when a 190 bobbles up and down as you chase it down.  Momentum eliminates this flip-flopping thing in real life.

I just posted a response in Randy's thread about cleaning the pots with some electronic cleaner.

I needed to do this with my CH Fighterstick, and it fixed all of the spiking.

Here's a cheap solution.



Doesn't spike, doesn't need calibrating and doesn't wear out.

Do you guys "scale" your sticks in AH? It may help.
