Ever get that annoying "Do not move your controls so rapidly" rubbish? Can it be turned off? If not can HTC remove it please.
The number of times i have got killed by this thing cutting out my controls just isn't funny. I mean, so often in war moving rapidly was the only reason many pilots lived to see another day. It also means that we can't fishtail to slow the damn things down or rock the wings as a signal if you don't want to type. Oh, sure you can rock 'em slow but did they really do that? Give the tip and go is what happened. Besides, it detracts from the reality of the game, these planes never had that, and no designer would think of putting one in.

try calibrating your joystick in the game under the settings tab. That should eliminate the problem, if not then you might have a joystick that is spiking to much. In other words might be time for a new one. Good luck:D

It is a good thing to have in AH. Like stated above, try calibrating. Also try incresing your dampener and deadband.

It is in AH to help stop people from stick stiring. Not the kind that happened in RL, but the kind people use in Online games to take advantage of it. If make many movements with your stick all at once then the data going to the server gets lagged and you are virtually unkillable.

yeah you'll still be able to floppy fish because the code is relaxed than it originally was, plus toss in the vagaries of connections.

your floppy fish evasive is safe, mostly.

Funny, not once have I ever had this happen. CTD's yep but never had my controls locked. I do calibrate the stick and pedals and have the damper adjusted.

I fly with all deadbands and dampening set to 0 and all sliders set to 100% (except for rudder). I don't get that message ever - but my stick doesn't spike either.
