CH set-up/Nose Bounce

[Max]

I can't seem to tweak the nose bounce out since switching over to a CH Fighterstick, Throttle & Pro Peds - all USB

I'd appreciate any advice, scaling screen shots, or cfg files which you might have that work well with the CH gear.

Thanks in advance,

Max,

I use CH gear also. You might need to confirm your force feed back option is set to disable. I think the game default is enable. To get there from within the game it's:

esc/setup/joystick/force feed back

Make sure it's "off".

If you ever flew a prop job in RL you'll find that as you begin to move the stick you get the same amount of control surface movement. The more stick movement the more control surface until when you have the stick hard over you are at full control surface deflection. For some reason the default settings in AH have the slightest stick movement have almost one half the control surface movement.  Also, by the time you have the stick at half the throw you have full control surface deflection.

So what does all this mean? IMHO, possible bounce,  and troubles getting shot alignment. You have stick that provides maybe 3 inches of travel, measured at the top of the stick. If you instantly  get half the throw when you touch the stick and get full deflection at one inch of of stick movement you are wasting two inch's of sensitivity in the stick.

My suggestion is to reset your stick so you have equal deflection for the same amount of stick input. You can check it by taking the runway and hitting f5 (do it in the TA) then check the stick movement using the f5 outside view. You should have little deflection of the control surfaces as you begin moving the stick and have full deflection of control surfaces at full stick deflection. Do the same for rudders.

I'd be happy to send you my stick settings.

I have a USB CH Fighterstick, too, and I would suspect you're yanking the stick too hard.  Check and see if you've installed deadbands at the beginning of the joystick scale for your old stick, and haven't bothered to re-scale for your new stick.  Adjust the stick scaling so that its fairly even across the graph.

I don't have a nose-bounce problem and I have very little scaling in my stick sensitivity graph.

Here's the stick scale I use.  I had made it to stop the nose bounce and to let you ride the edge of the blackout better and it does a pretty good job of it.


Stick Scale

Before you unzip it, go into your HTC\Aces high\settings folder and rename your old stick.cfg to stick.bak (in case you want to go back to your old stick.cfg) next, unzip the stickscale.zip into your HTC\Aces High\settings folder and start up AH.  You may have to recalibrate your joystick since the stick.cfg has my joystick calibration info but the scaling will be untouched, so don't worry about that part.

Hope this helps you some.

Thanks Ack.  I was getting too much bounce in my stick too, apparently because I began from the bottom instead of about halfway up as you do.  Now it's much better.
